Ryo Chonan is a Japanese mixed martial arts fighter, who currently fights for the PRIDE FC and DEEP promotions.
One of Chonan's most memorable fights was against Anderson Silva in PRIDE: Shockwave 2004, where he executed a flying scissor heel hook. Chonan holds wins over such fighters as Carlos Newton, Daijiro Matsui, Antonio Schembri, and Joey Villasenor. In the PRIDE Welterweight Grand Prix, Chonan suffered a broken orbital bone at the end of his match against Villasenor due to a stomp, but was able to continue in the tournament, fighting Paulo Filho in the next round. Chonan was submitted by a Filho armbar early in the first round, bringing an end to Chonan's Grand Prix title run.
In February 2007, Chonan defeated former DEEP Middleweight Champion Ryuta Sakurai to retain the Middleweight Championship.
