Good vid. Are they competing via weight classes as well as belt rankings and age?

 

[biggun]

Yes.

Under 70kg Blue Belt category. Adult division, so 18 and above. That guy was about 24 IIRC.

If you watched it, what did you think of the Benny U vid

Haken is getting some size to him, sure enough. Good video.

Cory, I watched quite a bit of it last night.

He has some very valid points and techniques but I am afraid I will call BS on anyone who claims to have had 200 fights and never lost.

Especially a Karate guy from the 70’s. I am not saying it is all BS but I ask why did he stop at 200 and how come he never lost?

Even the best guys lose a couple of times.

I still think people like him are still living in the Chick Norris Hollywood era.

I did a bit more of a lookup on him.

According to Wiki he lost in a Muay Thai fight and also has around 60-70 fights.

I don’t doubt he was a good fighter though but a bit like Steven Segal. His story my have been massaged a bit when he became and actor.

 

[cory]

Yup, interesting and talented guy, no doubt more lethal than Steven Segal if I had to guess.

 

[biggun]

So.

We have a new UFC Heavyweight Champ on the block.

 

[cory]

Yup. Woulda been fun to see Bones and Tom scrap but oh well I'll settle for seeing Tom scrap whomever.

On Saturday, ufc in Baku, there was a monster war/fight of the night and it outshined all other matchups such that they got 100k$ each instead of the usual 50k.

UFC Baku bonuses: Nazim Sadykhov, Nikolas Motta earn $100K each for incredible brawl

UFC lightweights Nazim Sadykhov and Nikolas Motta were handsomely rewarded for their Fight of the Night effort.
