Timeline

1998

Between 1998 and 2006, Sudo was a professional athlete and then was in the entertainment industry from 2006 to 2019.

He has since returned to his previous position in World Order as of September 2021 where he is currently active.

In 1998, after graduating, Genki moved to the United States and enrolled in Santa Monica College, but dropped out soon after.

Around this time, he joined the Beverly Hills Jiu-Jitsu Club and practiced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

A year after, he returned to Japan to compete in Pancrase by Bas Rutten's mediation.

Genki started his professional career in 1998, when he fought Tiki Ghosn in Extreme Shoot 2.

Then he moved to japanese promotion Pancrase, defeating Kosei Kubota by unanimous decision in his first fight.

He joined Sanae Kikuta's Grabaka team to further develop his skills.

Sudo became well known for his particularly flashy choreographed ring entrances that often included costumed dancers.

One entrance featured Sudo doing the robot and operating levers that released a column of smoke from the top of his head while wearing a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket as a hat and a white plastic mask, in an homage to the musician Buckethead.

2001

On 21 December 2001, Sudo fought against Kenichi Yamamoto at Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium, and won by Rear Naked Choke.

Prior to the match, Sudo and Yamamoto promised to bet Yamamoto's UFC championship belt on the outcome.

Following his win, Sudo was given the belt by Yamamoto, and Sudo was introduced as "UFC Japan Champion" by media after this bout.

As the bet was personal, he is not sanctioned as champion by Zuffa.

Sudo had his debut in Ultimate Fighting Championship at UFC 38, facing Leigh Remedios.

Making his entrance in a kimono and a tengu mask, Sudo showed his personal style by dancing and throwing spin kicks to open the match, eventually launching a flying triangle choke attempt which lasted for most of the round.

At the second round, Genki threw Remedios with a hip throw and locked a rear naked choke, making him tap out.

The Japanese wrestler then posed with a flag of all the nations and proclaimed his catchphrase of "We Are All One" for a crowd pop.

He returned at UFC 42 against Duane Ludwig.

Again Sudo showed his theatrical side, walking backwards towards Ludwig and doing the robot dance before taking him down.

However, despite his initial domination, the Japanese started receiving damage while standing, failing in a rolling kneebar and several takedown attempts.

Sudo came back at the last round, taking down Ludwig and pounding and bloodying him with punches and elbows.

Whilst Ludwig was taking a beating, referee John McCarthy interrupted and stood the two fighters up to check on Ludwig's nose.

When the doctor allowed the fight to resume they did not restart from the same previous dominant position held by Sudo.

Ludwig took advantage of the indirect rest given to him and avoided, with the aid of the referee's decision, the unfavorable position that he was in.

He dominated the end of the fight landing hurtful shots on Sudo to win a split decision.

Ludwig mocked Sudo after the final bell with a crane kick pose.

Sudo's last fight in UFC would be against the debuting Mike Brown in UFC 47.

Brown tried to capitalize in Sudo's confusing moves by rushing him against the fence, managing to slam him on the mat, but Sudo then locked a triangle choke and transitioned into an armbar for the tap out.

Genki Sudo was defeated by K-1 HERO's lightweight champion Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto.

The fight was won by a controversial referee stoppage after Sudo was knocked down by a right hand which was followed by some punches.
