With Japan still in ruins, Strikeforce's Tatsuya Kawajiri fights for pride of a nation

There hasn't been much to smile about in Japan in recent weeks.

Weeks after the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami that brought life in many parts of the country to a standstill, the country's MMA fighters are among millions who are trying to put their lives and livelihoods back together.

So you could say Tatsuya Kawajiri, who meets Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez April 9 at "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley," is fighting to prove Japanese MMA is still alive and kicking.
