... thats quite a long clip., looks so hard for the smaller dude to fight back.. so many disdvantages (size, reach, power)
Kaoklai is the smaller dude... I'm not sure if this was his first K1 tournament... but he apparently was in the heavyweight division (he's 80kgs) the smallest fighter, and he won the tournament. His fight against Mighty Mo featured the most amazing knockout ever, have to watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy9xOyNDCoM OH Btw, this is kickboxing, not Thaiboxing.
K1 tournament, mirko cro cop he is my fav k1 fighter By the way the guys you are calling small guy isnt small, Hong-Man Choi makes anyone look small even that beast bob sapp if any of u have heard of him.
This K1 tournament is from a while back. Koaklai (small Thai dude at 5ft 10) lost out on points to Hong Man Choi (Korean Frankenstein at 7ft 3). Koaklai regularly fights against opponents vastly bigger than him. Mirko Cro Cop has has singed up to UFC and hasn't fought in K1 for a long time. Personally I prefer the K1 Max tournaments, the fighters are more evenly matched plus the fights are more dynamic. check out K1 Fans for highlights and news: http://k-1fans.com/
i remember i bought some tapes and watched UFC when it first started....my fav player was Royce Gracie with his jujitsu..don't follow much nowadays, since they changed the rules........*sigh*
Yeah i've seen royce graice before he won UFC 1 and 2 maybe 3 aswell, but now he stands no chance against the fighters.
