Hey, buds. I know a lot of us in the Contenders sub are familiar with a ton of old school stuff, but I thought I'd start posting some of the forgotten classics that we may not have watched in some time, or maybe some of the newer posters who weren't around for these fights have never had the pleasure to witness.
In 2006, K1 Hero*s held their second MWGP (Hero*s only had three weight classes, MW/LHW/HW, and MW was something more akin to WW or LW) with some of the best Japanese talent and some foreign talent who would make names for themselves in the future on the world scene. This fight was only two rounds, but was action packed bc of the outstanding grappling from both fighters. There are many submission attempts in this short fight, and most of them aren't the common submissions we generally get in fights in the present day.
Newer posters: if you haven't seen this fight, enjoy. The entire K1 Hero*s 6 event is on YouTube (or, most of it, in edited form, anyway), for anyone who is interested. One of the best MMA events that company gave us.
