Mount Rushmore of Kimura experts in MMA (GIFs & pics!)

Your Mount Rushmore is missing someone rather obvious.

I wish I could trade last names with him.


I tried finding a GIF or a good pic of the original Masahiko Kimura but could not find any.

The real goat of Kimura's is obvious...

Love how HHH grabs his forearm after the crank lmao. Almost seems fake since he should be grabbing his shoulder.

 

[Buster C]

Karo's flying Kimura gets him the finish!

 

[Tanaka]

triangle kimura!

The real goat of Kimura's is obvious...

Lesnar is the only one who does justice for kimura

 

[PunchTheNeckChokeTheFace]

Chris Lytle had a few triangle kimura submissions that were sick!

 

[Tanaka]

Akiyama's beautiful use of kimura to reverse Manhoef.

 

[Thaijitsu612]

Saku obviously

I'd go jacare next

Mir next maybe because not many people have a kimura over someone as high level as nog

Don't know about werdum, he only had one I can think of. At that point if go palhares because I think his kimura over shields was better

I love kimura's but this thread, makes realize they're aren't a ton in mma

 

[arohenoh]

only opened this thread to make sure Sakuraba was on the list

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Poor Timbo Slice, he is the kimura target. Only fighter in the ufc to be tapped by a kimura more than once, if memory serves, and he's been tapped by it three times.

Rani Yahya says hi.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

The former sumo wrestler Sentoryu is on top of Giant Silva in Side Control yet the Brazilian is still able to lock up a Kimura from the bottom to force the tap!

The Kimo fight was like Saku's first fight. Was it a real MMA fight or a pro wrestling match? I still have never seen it. I have heard it was a work yet for some reason it remains on Saku's pro MMA record. I really don't know. @DaPunkMinowaMan might know the real answer to that

Mayhem subbed Saku when he was very old and broken down. Sakuraba's prime was in the late 90's and early 2000s.

It was real, bare knuckle MMA vs Kimo, I had it on tape.
