Ghost Head posted:I have the opposite question to whoever asked about great submission fighters. I find that whenever a fight goes to the ground I have absolutely no idea what the hell is happening, so I was wondering what the best fights are in like, the UFC, that were all about strikes and didn't involve any ground hugging. watch k-1. giants, midgets, one eyed children, k-1 truly has it all.

Not oil wells, though, for that you have to go to the Railroad Commission Reminder that Texas flies in referee Jon Schorle, a referee so bad that he let Victor Burgos get beaten so horribly that he had to be put into a medically induced coma, tried to strangle a fan who was heckling him for being a bad referee, and was the intrepid mouthpiece loving referee for Olaf/Razor Rob. Also he scored Melendez/Guida, a fight Guida lost 50-45, for Guida.

Kakuda trivia: He used to hold the world record for breaking baseball bats with kicks, this is a record that is actually in the Guinness book of records. His record was broken by Mark Coleman victim Moti Horenstein. He nearly lost a fight to josondo pioneer, convicted rapist and movie star Joe Son. He is the only person in history to make Joe Son look like a fighter.

Jack of Hearts posted:Three questions: The trips fare better than the throws, the grips are obviously all different. You have so many options with the gi but without it it's pretty much over/under, double unders, and underhook and wrist control. Miura/Condit is a great display of judo in MMA Because the K-1 rule is well intentioned but unenforcable. It's a foul in K-1 to throw a spinning backfist if you miss and hit with the forearm, but a ref can't really determine that in real time. It's not completely analogous but that's kind of like asking why Fedor isn't the M-1 champion. It's only really in the last year that It's Showtime has started making much noise. Rutz manages a lot of the guys who fight on his cards, and both he and his fighters make more money having them fight in K-1. Also non-title fights and a regional event structure.

Gomi Pile posted:high level judo is really about getting one or two really good throws, while avoiding getting thrown. there is a lot of general grappling training, but it really boils down to being able to establish and maintain good grips and having good hips and footwork. a good wrestler will always beat a good judoka. on the other hand, a Literal Lifetime of training in judo gives you one or two really cool things on your highlight (in fights that you lost)

The problem with producing content for Japan is they simply don't have the TV pipelines. Zach Arnold says they're finally in talks about sponsorship and could make headway there, but even if they do, the market is frankly bad at the moment and is going to be outright hostile to them. I don't think the TV audience would care much about TUF. I don't know why they're wasting resources in Japan when Korea has been sat in their lap for years.

Pneub posted:Is baseball slide-kicking someone on the ground specifically illegal in most major promotions? I can't think of many good applications, it would at least be a funny way to kick dudes in that loving flipped-over turtle defense. To the head, it is illegal in every single modern promotion except Sengoku, which happens to be dead. The only baseball slide head stomp I can ever remember came from Sakuraba a trillion years ago.

mobn posted:The thought is that the laces and other seams on the shoes have the potential to cause cuts when kicking, and would also make kicks more damaging. Not just that, it gives wrestlers an unfair advantage. Also Heath Herring tore his own knee apart throwing a kick in wrestling shoes.

1st AD posted:No I mean against Mach. Sakurai EASILY sprawled on him and while Aoki was dumbly trying to get hold of a single he got KO'd. as the fight is only about 30 seconds long, you should rewatch it, because this isn't how it happened and the truth is in fact much more heroic and satisfying

Chemtrail Clem posted:Stomps and soccer kicks shouldnt really be legal because the only time you ever see someone land them is when a guy is getting beaten so badly that the fight should be stopped anyway, and especially since the refs are so lovely at stepping in there would be a lot of knocked out dudes getting their heads stomped Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about Cage Rage's weird open guard rule that One FC co-opted? It pretty much only makes them legal in a butt-scoot stalemate but I feel like it makes the job of the referee a bit too involved and complicated

Captain Log posted:I just re-watched a Fedor vs. Coleman match. rub a little Hendgay on it  LeftistMuslimObama posted:I had forgotten about this fight. From memory, Sakurai stuffed him onto his rear end in a corner and then just obliterated his face with knees, right? Aoki actually got him down with a single almost immediately, but Mach swept him before pinning his face to the mat and beating him half way out of the ring. It was hugely impressive because Aoki has a really stifling top game, I can't remember any other instance of him being swept.

fawker posted:Also, what the hell happened to Mach Sakurai? I thought he was considered one of the BEST WWs one point in time... back injuries (he was in a car crash just before the Hughes fight that has physically hampered him and visibly made him less agile ever since), knee injuries (tore his ACL right before the Gomi fight), outright laziness (he has seriously told promoters and journalists he doesn't want to be booked to fight in the summer because he doesn't want to train in hot weather), and a lifestyle fundamentally incompatible with being an athlete (he loves to drink and eat, the Korean barbecue thing isn't a joke, also one time he was being interviewed for a tv show and hosted a picnic for himself and the 2 tiny hosts, it was an entire hog roast)

DekeThornton posted:It's never mentioned by the way, but am I the only one who kind of feel that Frye Takayama was a worked fight, at least to some extent? Two pro wrestlers and a slugfest that sort of was a bit too good to be true. It wouldn't surprise me if the single collar tie shootout was pre-arranged, because it's Japan, but it also wouldn't surprise me at all if it was completely organic, because it's Don Frye.

It would make more sense to pay saku to take a dive rather than some undersized nobody. Let's pretend this isn't completely wrong for a moment, which of Sakuraba's PRIDE losses would you pinpoint as dives?
