If you go by the old EA MMA game's career mode he's the greatest lightweight on the face of the fucking planet. That guy was the most frustrating opponent in the goddamn game.
Masato really beat the shit out of poor Kawajiri, who even attempted a takedown (you can say he "panic wrestled", to use a fashionable term, lol). It was cruel.Masato made this dude cry like a baby. It was awesome to see it especially the trash were was talking about Masato.
He's a Japanese MMA legend.
He also got the cojones to stepped in the ring against Masato.
He is over rated and not a legend or goat. Taking fight with Masato means nothing cuz he is getting paid. I could take a fight with Masato if they pay me. That's doesn't make me tough, it just makes me smart.Whatever the situation was, he took the risk and have the balls to fight him in his own territory. I give more credit to him for that than bashing him for "open his mouth" like you said. Is that all you got against him or you will try a little more ?
Someone hadn't heard of Kawajiri until he came to the UFCLost to everyone good he ever fought except for Thompson. No. Legendary lay and pray game though.
Shaolin and JZ are all time greats? Kawajiri top 5 lw all time?(Penn,Pettis,Cerrone,Edgar,Gomi,Bendo, Aoki etc.) get real. He did well cleaning up on easy competition in Japan.Someone hadn't heard of Kawajiri until he came to the UFC
Kawajiri is somewhere in the 5-10 range for all time Lightweight greats. Had some crazy wars, remained in the top 10 of the division for over half a decade and beat other divisional greats like Shaolin, JZ, and Thomson. He's still picking up solid wins and competing with the top 15 at Featherweight in his late 30's. His top game is legendary, incredible control and guard passing. It's a shame he gets overlooked by many people when talking about Lightweight greats and most fans only know him by his UFC performances.
And that says it all. Shaolin and JZ are legends of the division.Shaolin and JZ are all time greats? Kawajiri top 5 lw all time?(Penn,Pettis,Cerrone,Edgar,Gomi,Bendo, Aoki etc.) get real. He did well cleaning up on easy competition in Japan.
Legendary top game= lay and pray
Lol ok dude.And that says it all. Shaolin and JZ are legends of the division.
No, it would make you a stupid since you aren't a pro fighter (not in MMA, not in kick boxing, etc...), you could end up dead right there for pretending to being that "smart".He is over rated and not a legend or goat. Taking fight with Masato means nothing cuz he is getting paid. I could take a fight with Masato if they pay me. That's doesn't make me tough, it just makes me smart.
No... There's just not that many LWs with better careers. Kawajiri was top 3-5 long before UFC had reestablish the LW divMan, the standards for all time greats have really gone tits up around here.
Do u even know how popular Masato was back in the day? Beating him makes you one of the best especially those Japanese fans/girls. U think crusher would not have gotten great deals If he had beaten Masato? It's all about money and plz fighting a pro fighter doesn't mean it's guaranty death. Look how popular kid yamamoto(my favorite fighter) got after he knocked down Masato in round one. People looked at him differently and he got paid real good. Fighting Masato back in the day was like fighting mcjoker only in money and recognition wise . I don't hate crusher, I just don't think he is the greatest or legend and getting his ass beat by Masato is a fact. He even cried and flooped on his back and stomped his feet lolNo, it would make you a stupid since you aren't a pro fighter (not in MMA, not in kick boxing, etc...), you could end up dead right there for pretending to being that "smart".
In sherdog, every fighter is overrated (except for those ones that somebody is rooting for), and I don't see MMA fighters becoming richer for taking fights at K1 top fighters in their backyard.
It's ok if you don't like the guy, but don't come up here with the type of shit that you just brought in. It makes you look bad, you know...
