Outlook - Hiroyuki Ito was one of the last products of RINGS Japan and while he hasn't gone on to MMA success, he's really turned heads in U-Style since the company's inception. He does have the experience in DEEP, like many of his U-Style peers, but he is one of the real future stars if that company continues along. Ito is remeniscent of UWF's undersized underdog Yuko Miyato although he has more size and could become a star in U-Style if he continues to improve and the company remains viable.
