Toby Imada
Toby Imada is a spiritual manifestation of bushido. He is a product of culture, training and a very abstract, hard-to-define metaphysical state of being. Imada has fought in many MMA organizations since 1998, and most recently in the Bellator Fighting Championship lightweight tournament where he moved on to the finals after defeating Alonzo Martinez and Jorje Masvidal. Imada is notable for his upset win over Masvidal by way of a bizarre inverse triangle choke while Masvidal was standing up and therefore has been acknowledged by Sherdog.com and MMAJunkie.com as the 2009 submission of the Year.
