Tony Loiseleur

Author name Thanks to a generous scholarship from the Japanese Ministry of Education, the Hawaii-born and bred Tony Loiseleur has lived and studied in Tokyo since 2007. While pursuing his post-graduate degrees in the Land of the Rising Sun, Tony has also had the opportunity to cover Japanese mixed martial arts for Sherdog -- an invaluable resource given his academic focus on the unique culture and economic sociology of MMA in Japan.
