Egan Inoue is an American Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, mixed martial artist and racquetball player. He also won two International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Championships.
Inoue played professional racquetball on the International Racquetball Tour, winning two tournaments, and finishing in the top 10 ranked players four times: 1986-87 to 1988-89 and 1990-91. His record on the IRT is 85-69. But Inoue's racquetball career is highlighted by two World Championships. His first came in 1986 in Orlando, Florida, when he defeated Canadian Roger Harripersad in the final, 15-2, 7-15, and 15-7. Four years later, in 1990, Inoue defeated fellow American Tim Doyle in the final, 13-15, 15-13, 15-5, to win his second World Championship.
In 1989, Inoue had a 50 percent ownership in E-Force, a racquetball equipment company. In 1993, he sold his stake in E-Force and returned to jiu jitsu.
In 1996, Inoue won the World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship in the blue belt division. He was the first American to win the title. He then returned to Brazil in 1997 and won the World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship in the absolute purple belt division. He now holds a 4th degree black belt in Jiu Jitsu.
Inoue went on to fight professionally in MMA. He retired in 2003 but came out of retirement on May 5, 2008 beating Hans Marrero by TKO at a X-1 - Legends, an MMA show held at the Neil S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Inoue's MMA record is 13 wins with 8 losses. He has opened up three MMA training schools in the state of Hawaii. Egan’s MMA career led him to fights in Pride, Shooto, Superbrawl and Luminex Cup. He enjoyed a successful career with five world championship titles.
