[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
He was born in Nasu District in Tochigi Prefecuture, Japan on April 11, 1974 as Toshiyuki Oyama. He started practicing judo when he was 5 years old.
[edit] Early career
Shungo Oyama has appeared in the KOTC, ROTR, Pride, K-1 HERO'S, and Dream organizations. And has a record of 9-13-0 as of September 16, 2010.
He is most known for being a student of Japanese Judo superstar Hidehiko Yoshida, and briefly trained with 3 time King of Pancrase Bas Rutten. Shungo has also trained at the famed Takada Dojo, run by former Pride General Director Nobuhiko Takada.
Though his record is not impressive, Shungo has gained respect for his die hard spirit, and stubbornness to submit. On more than one occasion he has been injured or choked unconscious due to his refusal to tap out. Shungo was also once thought to be one of Japan's most feared strikers, and was in the main event at PRIDE 22-Beasts From The East 2 against the late Ryan Gracie, who broke Shungo's arm during the fight.
Shungo's biggest victory was over Renzo Gracie of the famed Gracie Jiu-Jitsu family. With a combination of his own unorthodox fighting style, and a little Kazushi Sakuraba imitation, Shungo was able to frustrate Gracie and dominate the fight to gain a unanimous decision. In the most controversial moment of the match, Gracie spit in Shungo’s face; irritated by his fight antics.
[edit] First title
He participated "Martial Combat 10" as a substitute of Daiju Takase in Singapore for the title of Light heavyweight(-87 kg) on September 16, 2010. He beat Brian Gassaway from USA with Inverted triangle choke and he won the first professional title in his career.
During interview, he answered that he cried because he won his first title in his professional career, but his translator mistranslated that this is the first time for Oyama to cry after winning. For this mistranslation, an interviewer asked why he cried in this time even you had won 8 times before, and he could not answer. After winning, he proposed a woman with 4 years relationship in the cage and married in his hometown.
