Do you ppl realize TK won a fight last year by KO at 53 years of age?

According to Fight Finder, he fought in 2006 in Pride and lost to Mark Hunt. His next fight was in 2015! Now, IDK whether the FF is just missing some fights or this guy REALLY came back after 9 years. Does anyone know?

Anyway, in 2015, he beat James Thompson by TKO (TK is 5'11, Thompson is 6'5). His last fight was in 2022 in Rizin, where AT THE AGE OF 53, he KOd a 6'2 28 year old (with a record of 1-1). Are these legit results or are these works? People who've seen these fights, did they look legit?

He fought 3 more times after that before his retirement fight in 2022.

He did beat the guy it wasn't a work, in an interview afterwards he even asked: "Where are all the Japanese HWs" as he probably was dissapointed in his opponent.

That's awesome. I remember the Thomson fight but didn't know he'd fought again after that.

Yup, I watched that Rizin event, it was badass. Always been a fan of TK a true warrior, old school, NHB MMA fighter. Dude had some epic performances, the Mark Hunt one of course.
