Wasn't he an Olympic wrestler?
I had posted this some years ago asking if anyone had any information and no one did unfortunately... This is the only fight of his registered anywhere.
That was the closest he came to landing a strike that night and it was on a camera man instead ofNo that was Karam Gaber who fought Fujita trying to box.
And yes -- this fight is hilarious bizzare. The groin kick. All of Aliev's flying shit. It's just outlandish.
Yeah, Mauro mentioned that in the fight.He was a two-time freestyle wrestling champion in his homeland (Azerbaijan). That's all the info I could find on him.
It's always been generally known that some fights were fixed (not all of the obviously), but that's not the case here obviously... The case here is giving Tamura favorable matchup.It seemed like he was still in pain, but his corner wouldn't throw in the towel, going off of memory. Definitely a weird fight, and certainly lends credence to the idea the Pride fixed shit even after DSE took over.
