Christmas Wishes…
Posted by Tommy Hackett on December 24th, 2009
Please forgive the recent lack of activity here. Total-MMA is going through a bit of a transition right now, so you can expect a new and improved look in the new year. Thanks for being patient.
Today, MMA legend Enson Inoue’s long battle with immigration will finally come to an end. Recently he left the following message on his blog:
I just got called by the Immigration office and it seems that they have finally made a decision. In fact I’ll get the results on Christmas day Dec.25th. If the Immigration hands me a favorable decision that would be a great Christmas present. Whatever the decision is I’ll consider it a present from God. I’m either going to be able to continue my life here in Japan or I may need to start my new life abroad. Whatever the decision is, I’ll will be okay. But I’m very nervous. While everyone is celebrating Christmas I’ll be in a battle with the Immigration. One of the biggest decisions in my life will be handed to me on the day Jesus was born. Everyone please help me with the power of prayer.
So, I’d ask everyone to keep the man they call “Yamato Damashii,” who may ironically be forced to leave the Land of the Rising Sun, in your prayers — or, just keep a good thought.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed or enjoyed our content in the last year. Merry Christmas, and all the best to you and yours.

Congrats to Enson, who has been given permission to remain in Japan.

Yeah, great news. But unfortunately Enson won’t be travelling out of Japan for a while either — as immigration is now telling him he has to stay put to keep his legal status in Japan. The struggle continues.
