What rivalries existed between the fighters in the golden age of K-1 (1993-2000)?
It seems as though everyone got along rather amicably, at least from what I can tell through the old videos of the day. Pretty much the exact opposite of fake beefs between fighters to "sell fights" in the UFC.
The only one I can think of was Sam Greco and Stan the Man Longinidis. They trained together for a bit in Australia, then Sam called Stan out (thought he was better) and they fought, so that seemed like a genuine rivalry.
Were there any others?
