Remember when MMA pwned K-1 kickboxing?

Awesome. Last I heard, Jerome was a retired rich white man worth 700 million dollars. Though that website mightve clickbaited me.

700 million? That sounds a bit much. But some guys did get paid pretty well during the kakutougi boom.

when cro cop and hunt first came to MMA, prime wand was able to stand and bang with both. rampage won in kickboxing

the difference in striking ability between high level MMA and high level kickboxing is overrated

But to be fair, remember that 1 k1 guy...what was his name...something Cop? He did pretty good tooling mma fighters

he also got outstruck by some MMA guys

it was hilarious; many on sherdog at the time were calling for a frye win. silly things were being said. they had no idea france removed all the testosterone from every other french male and injected it into lebanner.

Yeah, that booking was definitely a head scratcher, as was the optimism about Frye's chances. But watching him get crumpled by LeBanner was just kinda sad.

Hey no shame in losing to Fedor. Everybody else back then did too. If you lost to Fedor back then, the loss shouldn't even count. It was just a given.

i don't think lebanner was the original opponent and lebanner is on record as enjoying wrecking mma guys in k1. he ate goodridge's babies too.
