What's next for Kid Yamamoto?

[superpunch]

I just noticed that he's still signed with the UFC. I thought he'd been cut. Is he still fighting? Is he retired? What's going on?

It's kind of funny to think this guy that used to fight at 155 lbs back in the day would be the smallest guy at 135 lbs nowadays. Would be an average sized 125 lber.

Kid was done many years ago. He was done by the time he fought Warren.

For anyone that cares. Kid is likely the goat in PFP knock out power. He was a murderer. He brutalized everyone. In the old days, he was often ranked in the top five pfp best fighters on the planet. The superfight at the time was Faber vs Kid. But both these guys declined pretty fast.

Are you suggesting Kid Yamamoto vs Krazy Horse? This is the matchmaking that Bellator needs to be putting on!

He may be a 135er but he hit like a fucking semi truck

 

[CalvilloRay]

Mighty Mouse rematch Kid will get his revenge

Him and Sexyama haven't fought in ages and are still not cut.

P4P doesn't exist. It is batman vs spiderman fantasy nonsense. He hit hard for a small guy sure, but there are plenty of guys that had freakshow power like Drew McFredries

He’s been at a lot of the Rizin events... I think injuries have derailed him along with age.

Faber did not decline fast. He would probably still be top 10 today.

I hate this guy.

 

[Danespina]

I think Kid may be done. Check out Kyoji Horiguchi.

should have been retirement fucking years ago, i don't wanna watch him anymore it's depressing.

I think what happened was he didn't carry his power cutting weight

Kid hasn't fought since 2015, and his last scheduled fight was for 2016 but he pulled out due to injury. He's 40 and I've seen him at Rizin events, so I wouldn't be surprised if they try to have a whole family affair on a card. The Yamamoto family vs the world, get Miyuu and Arsen on the card and you have yourself an old Pride Bushido card again.
