Who of these 3 MMA Legends was involved in the most "funny-looking" fights?

[flyingscissorsheelhook]

Worked, Hume was injured so he asked ken pre fight to do a shoot, so both got paid

Never heard the story behind the work before but that makes lots of sense.

Yeah I heard it years ago, so asked Ken and he confirmed it

 

[Idonotbelieveit]

Yeah I heard it years ago, so asked Ken and he confirmed it

Mo smith also asked Ken to go easy on him, dunno if you have heard that.

From the horse's mouth! Makes sense, Ken did a few works for Pancrase and was tight with Suzuki and Funaki. Put on a great match either way though.

Yeah, something like:
"Don't break my leg OK"
"Sure, don't knock me out OK?"

2nd suzuki fight was a work, pancrase was afraid ken was going to lose in his next ufc fight

 

[Idonotbelieveit]

Yeah, something like:
"Don't break my leg OK"

Good memory , Ken did heel hook him but was a stand up because of rope break

That's the big one yeah. They didn't want the King of Pancrase to look weak so Shamrock Agreed to drop the title to Suzuki out of respect.

 

[Idonotbelieveit]

Imo Suzuki and funaki beat Ken legit and nothing to be ashamed of, they taught him everything

Funny enough, after Mo, Ken went on to kickbox Frank Lobman in Pancrase too. Did you happen to catch that one? Ken had some stones on him back in the day.

Yeah lobman destroyed Ken with low kicks. I think lobman beat bas too in kickboxing

 

[flyingscissorsheelhook]

I think you're right.beat him by KO

 

[Idonotbelieveit]

Yep, bas made an excuse, as ever. Lobman was legit

 

[flyingscissorsheelhook]

Yes sir, he was a monster.

 

[Richard Fannin]

Why is Sakuraba one of the 3 options? The only fight he threw was his first one, against Kimo.
He talks about it in his second (IIRC) book, it was a different time/context and Japan mixed pro-wrestling and real fights at every event;
But all his other fights looked legit, the only times he got (rightfully) pissed where when an opponent cheated, and when a ref did a mistake.

He didn't comment a lot on Royce roiding for their second fight though, when he could have had the fight overturned to a NC pretty easily, or I would assume (was thinking of Fedor/Maldonado first, but Nick Diaz vs Gomi is a better example; if they overturned it because of weed, steroids should be a piece of cake, no?
;but from what I gathered, Saku didn't care a lot about this particular fight.

and my answer is Bob Sapp. I remember the Colossus "fight", dem blueballs, back in the PRIDE days when Sapp gave a shit, this would have been a cool brawl me think.

Damn , rare Bas hater spotted (I'm not a fan either, for different reasons than Shamrock being my fav fighter though).

I'll sign up as a Bas hater. Great fighter, but he's a garbage commentator and analyst.

Not a hater . But he did make excuses a lot

I've enjoyed a lot of bas fights

Oh I enjoyed a lot of his fights as well, EndlessCritic too it seems; great striker, had success in both kick-boxing and MMA with his unique and entertaining style.

it's just that he is IMHO as biased as Rogan as a commentator, has an excuse for every single one of his losses (including kick-boxing) and liked to spread unfounded rumors/dubious stories as fact.

Not a "hater" but definitely not a fan...
