Shungo Oyama (大山 峻護 Ōyama Shungo [oːjama ɕɯŋɡo]; born April 11, 1974) is a Japanese mixed martial artist with an extensive and successful background in Judo and Sambo. Oyama holds notable victories over Renzo Gracie, Denis Kang, Rodrigo Gracie, and Valentijn Overeem. He is one of four fighters to defeat at least two members of the Gracie family.

Biography

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.

Early career

Shungo Oyama has appeared in the KOTC, Pancrase, Pride, K-1 HERO'S, and Dream organizations.

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, irritated by his fight antics, spit in Shungo’s face.

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 an inverted triangle choke and won the first professional title in his career.

After winning, he proposed to a woman with whom he had a 4 year relationship while in the cage. They were married in his hometown.
