You might think it's silly but I rather get in the Octagon for a UFC fight than get in the ring for a K-1 fight. The pounding you have to take is unreal. Here is a highlight reel of some of the most brutal knockouts in the K-1 circuit: http://www.mmadaddy.com/story.php?title=K-1s_best_and_most_brutal_knockouts
Yup ...I am a 50/50 fan between the Rockets and MMA. I've been a basketball fan a lot longer but MMA is fast gaining on me too. I only keep up with two sports and that's NBA (Rockets) and MMA, and maybe a little of the Texans here and there. But fighting is just so demanding on your body, and you HAVE TO be in condition. In basketball, if you're not in shape you huff and puff up and down the court. In MMA, if you are cardio sucks you get KTFO. That's the big difference ...
Yeah, alot of those are brutal......because they are amateur fighters. Any top boxer would knock most of these guys out in seconds. Who was the huge black dude that got knocked out several times and did the knocking out several times in that vid? Bob Sapp?
They are not amateur fighters k-1 fighters are professional fighters. I think you are right about these guys getting knocked out against a top boxer in a boxing match. Of course a boxer would get destroyed in a K-1 fight against any top K-1 fighter. They are two different sports. And yes that was Bob Sapp
No. See Shannon Briggs. See "Mighty Mo" Siliga (a bad boxer, but a great K-1'er). See Ray Sefo's boxing career.
The sickest move was when Kevin Randleman Slammed Fedor upside down with both of them in the air..!!!!! <embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=1499390000238023472&hl=en" flashvars=""> </embed> I mean my god Fedor landed on his neck/head with the weight of not only his but also Randleman's ... JESUS that is insane he was unable to be knocked out.!! Watch the slowmo around the 2:40 mark just wow
