timestamped clip of Kid introducing Guchi to Ariel back in 2011. Look at him beaming with pride.

I always liked him ..probably the best young modern Japanese MMA fighter I've seen in awhile and his speed is blinding..he didn't have the raw power of Yamamoto but definitely has the finishing mindset that Yamamoto had..no point fighting here

Unfortunately cancer takes us all these days. 41 is too young, rip.

Kid announced his battle cancer on the 26 August and 3 weeks later he has gone.
So sad.

I read a post by Rumina Sato and it looks like he commented Kid was sick in May. Maybe he has been fighting it a while...
Longer than we know.
Sad thing is that Enson asks Kid to get in touch and its not too late.
I hope they spoke.

Sad day.
RIP Kid.
Great fighter.

 

[storeybuckle]

Very sad. Too young to go
