WKA Super Lightweight: Benny Urquidez vs. Kunimatsu Okao R4 1:31. Urquidez was the leading light of the Americans full contact fighters (including Howard Jackson & Sam Montgomery) who were now making their way to Japan, and Japanese superstar Okao, the top fighter of the Mejiro Gym, came out of retirement to challenge him in this high-paced barnburner. Set to be Benny's first fight in Japan, the contest was delayed 3 months when Okao was injured in training, resulting in Urquidez scoring a 6th round KO over far inferior last minute replacement Katsuyuki Suzuki. America was still amidst the above the waist dark ages, so despite taking place in Japan, this wound up being a modified rules match where low kicks were legal but knees & elbows to the head were not. Urquidez was very wary of the low kicks having little experience against them, and the threat was enough that Okao was able to instead come over the top with an overhand right for the 1st round knockdown. Urquidez is a slow starter under the best circumstances, but when you add in being rattled and a bit apprehensive, Okao wound up owning the early portion with his high pressure style, throwing everything he had at Benny as Urquidez laid back trying to figure things out. The Japanese knew their style was superior because it was more complete, but did this knowledge combined with Okao's early success swell his head too much? The argument could be made that Okao thought the possibility of the kick was enough, and he could instead mostly just beat Benny with shorter range game even though his training was more suitable to winning at distance (because the Thai fighters own the clinch game) and all he was allowed to do on the inside was punch. However, I think Okao just burned himself out with the combination of pushing so hard for the 1st round KO and probably not being in peak condition given he was no longer a full-time fighter and the injury interrupted his comeback. There's also the fact that Urquidez was just a step or three above the rest, and even having to go slightly outside his box, he had the chin to weather the bad times & the power to capitalize on the good. In any case, while Okao did somewhat leave the low kicks he started with, he's a knockout artist who was trying to finish fast, and the head hunting was a lot more likely to accomplish that than the game of attrition. Urquidez mainly just tried to keep Okao off him in the 1st, particularly with the left front kick, and this may also have contributed to Okao wanting to stay inside kicking range & throw heavy leather. Okao arguably also won the 2nd, but it was his low kick, which he could have thrown at a safer distance, that was now carrying him as Urquidez got his jab going and was now winning the boxing encounters and settling into a fight that was both more comfortable & conventional for him. Okao slowed down noticably in the 3rd, and while he did now shift to a more distance based attack, that was more because he'd tired himself out with two rounds of going all out and didn't have the energy to maintain the all out insanity, or even do the more active distance style he needed. Finally given time, Urquidez was the one who was landing most of the heavy strikes now, taking the round and swelling Okao's eye. Urquidez landed a high kick to start the 4th, but Okao answered backing Benny with a low kick then following with a front kick. Urquidez hurt Okao with a left hook though, and really turned on the gas, blitzing Okao with an endless flurry until Okao finally wilted after a great right cross. Definitely a rocky start for Urquidez, but he got better with each round, as he tends to do. The 1st & 4th rounds were definitely the best, but every round was high action & activity. Very good match.

3/18/78 Rajadamnern Stadium Lightweight Title Decision Match: Toshio Fujiwara vs. Mongsawan Ruk Changmai. Fujiwara has a great low kick game with the speed, angles, & power to back it up. Mongsawan was mainly trying to work the middle kick, but Fujiwara just wasn't there for it. As the fight progressed, Fujiwara got his power punching going more & more, first following the low kick then hurting Lukchiangmain with his lead uppercut. Fujiwara pressed his advantage, but got a fluke KO with a high takedown as their heads collided on impact with the canvas. In doing so, Fujiwara became the first non-Thai to win a national Muay Thai championship.

6/7/78 Bangkok Rajadamnern Stadium Lightweight Title Match: Toshio Fujiwara vs. Sepree Kiatsompop. This match shows how far Fujiwara was ahead of his time, as even against a top Thai fighter, he's able to use the front kick to maintain distance so he can continue to brutalize the leg with the low kick. His hands are incredibly powerful though, so he can follow the low kick or do damage if the opponent does manage to get inside. Things begin to get heated when Fujiwara expects a rope break, but the ref allows Kiatsompop to get in a series of elbows to the back of his head & neck. Fujiwara fires up & answers with a leg sweep, and begins to really take over. Fujiwara clearly won the fight, but Sepree got the hometown decision.

Inoki Martial Arts Matches

NJPW 8/2/77 Budokan: Antonio Inoki vs. The Monster Man (Everett Eddy) R5. This match was interesting for their concept of what constituted a real match, but it was often dreadful & embarrassing despite Monster being a good athlete with a lot of potential. The selling was terrible, as there seemed to be no middle ground between horrible overselling (mostly from Monster) & just no selling (mostly from Inoki, which was probably the most realistic thing about the match given it was supposed to be a shoot except it doesn't work combined with the ridiculous theatrical cartoon stuff). Monster really had no concept of grappling, and particularly bungled Inoki's armbar. Monster's flaws were more excusable to me because this was his first work & he's trying to figure out how to not kill Inoki. While Monster wasn't consistent in faking his shots, he had some highlights with a jumping side kicks to the body & the head, enzuigiri, etc, and was generally okay to fun offensively. I mean, he at least knows how to fight & did as passable an approximation of his tournament karate/kickboxing style as he could against an opponent who has no clue how to defend himself against standup fighting (endlessly trying sliding kicks only works on pure boxers, Monster could presumably just chew his legs up with kicks like every other time a fighter tried to use the butt scoot against a striker) & wasn't given him any help whatsoever. Inoki's best defense was when he just stood there with his hands at his waist, slowly backing away from Monster's strikes while still eating almost all of them. Inoki had no attack per se, he just waited around to counter by dropping into some corny schoolyard leg scissors because he doesn't have any wrestling, so his only way to get it to the ground was some kind of trip or the oh so believable doublearm suplex. Things got worse when he started standing around bent over, so literally if he was trying, all Monster had to do was throw a low kick because the only thing Inoki could do was drop down. Inoki managed to take endless shots from Monster without going down, & eventually won with shoot staples the powerbomb & leg drop brutha.

NJPW 10/25/77: Antonio Inoki vs. Chuck Wepner R6. Inoki wore boxing gloves, and in attempting to mimic a boxing stance, he did a much better of keeping his hands up. He was still bending over way too much looking for the vaunted sliding kick/trip, and in a real fight would likely have been flattened with an uppercut. Wepner was one of the worst workers of all-time, barely resembling a boxer, and instead showing every bad technique of movie boxing with loopy no impact love taps. It didn't help that he was seemingly only being allowed to actually do anything by playing heel & hitting him when they were supposed to be breaking. Wepner did get a clean knockdown with some body shots on the ropes in the 4th. Inoki showed some improvement here, and definitely had the better jab of the two, but was all about those schoolyard leg trips as always, and the gloves were mostly just limiting his already limited ability to grapple. Inoki came on in the 6th with a sleeper hold and scored a knockdown with an enzuigiri that completely missed. Wepner got a rope escape on the Boston crab, but then Inoki just dragged him to the center & reapplied to finish.

NJPW 2/27/80 WWF Martial Arts Title: Antonio Inoki vs. Willie Williams R4 1:24. Most of Inoki's "martial arts matches" have been complete embarrassments, but this was truly an epiphany, showing "real" fighting was a style actually worth developing and exploring, something that could look different in a good way rather than just being a less flashy version of the same sideshow shenanigans. Here we had a collision between the top pro wrestler & sort of top karate guy, in an era where karate was still big enough that being the top karate fighter mattered, as they still represented the top means of self defense study in Japan, as well as most other corners of the globe. Williams was the top foreign protege of legendary karate master Mas Oyama, who was famous for defeating animals such as bulls & bears. Willie actually only made it to the semifinals of the 160 man Karate World Championships tournament the year before, but he was already known in Japan for playing himself in a movie where he earned the nickname "The Bear Killer" by following in Oyama's footsteps and taking one out, so he seemed to be the flagbearer in this battle between fake & real fighting, which was actually more something the fans demanded than the usual fight where Inoki just leveraged his money to get world class fighters who would beat him in seconds to lay down for him. While still obviously a work, the heat & intensity were off the charts, and there was genuine desperation, mostly because neither side would agree to do the job, and with such huge stakes, both sides were very leery of a double cross. In a setting where there's genuine suspense & hostility, and thus neither side really wants to compromise themselves or be generous and trusting to make the other look superior, even Inoki's usually feeble attempts to create heat by being chippy came off well because they were applied to something that seemed urgent and ready to ignite, rather than completely farcical and begging to be laughed at. All that being said, the match was mostly good due to Williams having being an amazing athlete who had great skill & wasn't willing to compromise it. After all, while Williams had more of a name in Japan & higher standing in their karate world, this is ultimately the same disaster as the Monster Man match if he didn't deliver the goods. While Williams was never a favorite of RINGS fans, keep in mind that he was 41 when he debuted there. This 28-year-old version is almost a totally different fighter than we saw in the '90's, really a revelation to this style, as he's actually trying to use his length, footwork, & speed rather than reverting back to the established dumbed down, no skill stand around begging to be clobbered hokem the way even most pro wrestlers who have won MMA matches do. When I say Williams was a great athlete, I don't just mean for a 6'7" guy, he seemed like he could have been a dominant power forward in another life, and I have no doubt he could have won the UFC heavyweight title had he been born later, especially if he was competing with today's stiffs such as Derrick Lewis & Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who stand around doing nothing beyond praying the opponent for some reason gets bored enough to just run into their right hand. Williams was an amazingly fast, reactive athlete, and he didn't just make it easy for Inoki as Inoki's other clay pigeons did. Williams may not always have employed modern MMA technique, but he understood how to fight, and he was trying to bring his battle tested reactions to wrestling rather than trying to fit in by doing everything at half speed, and compensating with over the top theatrics. There were great little bits such as Inoki shooting for a single, but Williams stuffing it with an underhook, then immediately peeling off to the side & disengaging so Inoki couldn't make a second attempt at the takedown. The action constantly broke down by spilling to the floor, in part because neither guy wanted to give the other an opening for anything major, to be prone to the point the opponent could take them out if they decided to be a shady back stabber. While this was worked, it's more that 1 guy would do something expecting the other to either take it or not, and then once in a while they'd purposely give an opening. For example, Williams would use his reach to land jabs that Inoki should take because they are solid but not going to knock him out, but then he'd throw a slightly slow & telegraphed high kick that Inoki was supposed to counter. In any case, the real or imagined threat of the opponent choosing glory over honor added a legitimate tension to the fight, keeping both guys on their toes & reacting sooner rather than later. In the 2nd, Williams dodged a rolling thunder & kicked Inoki in the head, but Inoki finally dragged him down. They rolled to the floor though, where things got out of control & Inoki emerged with a bloody head. After a really long break, they finally restarted only to have Inoki escape to the floor to avoid Williams strikes & both guys crashed to the floor (which Inoki tried to recreate in seemingly every UFO match) after Inoki took Williams down. All this smoke & mirrors was keeping the urgency up while limiting exposing the fakery because one of the big problems with Inoki vs. Chuck Wepner particularly was the more Wepner hit Inoki with his obviously pulled strikes, the more the match failed to succeed on any level. Inoki finally seemed to have his chance hitting a hane goshi, but Williams immediately responded with an up kick only to nearly get armbarred trying to follow with ground and pound. The finish where they each threw a dropkick then wrestled each other over the top to the floor, with Inoki getting an armbar but Williams being saved by the double ring out was the only part that seemed obviously scripted. Though Inoki got that bone at the end, Williams owned him for most of the match, certainly doing way better than any of the other martial artists had done against Inoki. In some sense not a lot happened here, but the movement of Williams & the urgency of both made it feel drastically different than perhaps anything we'd seen before. While I wouldn't rank it close to the best match of the 20th century, as it was named in a 2003 poll in Japan, because it's so much better than the previous Inoki martial arts matches that were chores to try to keep a straight face through, it truly felt original, and it has endured the test of time. ****

Kickboxing: Hiroki Akimoto vs. Josh Tonna 3R. An incredibly high paced, action packed competitive contest that never slowed down or had a dull moment. Tonna is an aggressive, high pressure fighter to begin with, but because Atsushi Onari called a standing knockdown 45 seconds in after Akimoto landed two liver kicks, he was forced to push even more because he felt he was always fighting from behind. That may not actually have been the case because 2 minutes in, Tonna knocked Akimoto down momentarily, countering the liver kick with an overhand right. Though Tonna pressed for the last minute, Akimoto immediately wobbled him, and probably took the round though it could have been scored even. Regardless of the scoring, Tonna had press & press because Akimoto had a huge edge in the kicking department, and would pick him apart at range if given the opportunity. Tonna wasn't going to make it easy for Akimoto no matter how much punishment he withstood in the process. Though he was in Akimoto's face most of the 2nd, Akimoto could seemingly land kicks no matter how close Tonna was, and was still able to work over his midsection. Akimoto did a great job of beating Tonna's arms up with middle kicks while he was coming in, and even when Tonna was in range, he wasn't having that much success because Akimoto's reflexes were so quick he was able to dodge most of Tonna's short range punches. Tonna showed some better strategy early in the 3rd, working over Akimoto's liver with the step knee & body hook and using these to try to set up the big overhand right. Akimoto reestablished distance though, and things truly went awry for Tonna as Akimoto began working the right low kick, offbalancing Tonna when he tried to check it. This opened up the right middle kick, with Akimoto getting another knockdown midway through the round. Tonna was still okay, but he was forced to defend the body more, and Akimoto was able to back him into the cage following each head punch with one to the body then catch Tonna off guard with a high kick for the 3rd knockdown. Akimoto tried for the finish, but Tonna remarkably still wasn't slowing down or going anywhere, so he had to settle for the unanimous decision. Excellent match.

Reinier de Ridder vs. Rong Fan 1:51 R1

Muay Thai: Rodtang Jitmuangnon vs. Fahdi Khaled 3R UD. Entertaining, high action brawl that unfortunately was never actually competitive. Khaled kept firing, but Rodtang had him on his back foot the whole match & was eating him up. Rodtang was just walking Khaled down in the 1st. Khaled did a better job in the 2nd of firing & circling so Rodtang couldn't just have his way with him against the cage. Still, Khaled was mostly missing or grazing, so there was nothing to deter Rodtang from just walking him down. Khaled's best offense was actually takedowns, which would have been great if they were legal.

Flyweight World Grand Prix Qualifier: Danny Kingad vs. Tatsumitsu Wada 3R UD. An extremely close contest where both had their moments in each round, and generally the fighter who won the first half of the round then lost the second half. Wada is the better grappler & Kingad is the better striker, but in round 1 Wada got the better of the striking, while Kingad got the better of the grappling. After that, the fight reverted more to what you'd expect, and I feel like the scoring comes down to how much you value the ground strikes because Kingad landed the more flashy shots on his feet, but I felt Wada's knees & elbows on the ground were much more damaging shots. Granted, Wada got a yellow card for elbows to the theoretical mohawk, which doesn't cost him a point since they don't use a points system but may have negated the whole lot from the judges consideration. Wada did a nice job of blasting the lead leg & moving early, but he really wasn't able to sustain this tactic moving forward because Kingad made some nice adjustments, using side kicks to extend the distance. Wada got inside with a punch combo & dropped into a takedown, taking Kingad's back, but Kingad managed to roll Wada when he was throwing a knee. Though Kingad didn't do any real damage, he advanced position & was in control for half the round with the crowd going nuts for their countryman. After that, Wada had almost all the control on the ground, but Kingad always kept himself out of real trouble and managed to take the top or escape eventually. Kingad definitely controlled the standup in the 2nd & 3rd rounds, pretty much forcing Wada to come forward with punches to get in on the body. Wada eventually got it to the ground in the 2nd after eating a bunch of hooks on the inside, and was able to land several punishing knees before taking Kingad's back. The third round was by far the closest. Again, Kingad was winning early in standup, but Wada got it to the ground. I thought Wada did enough in the grappling to slightly edge the decision, mainly because his ground strikes were more punishing than Kingad's standing strikes, but the hometown fighter got the nod on all the cards. Good match.

ONE Flyweight Title: Adriano Moraes vs. Geje Eustaquio 5R UD. Moraes caught Eustaquio in this crazy banana split groin stretch that bent his knee back against the joint called the Suloev stretch in the 4th, but somehow Eustaquio accepted the injury & just refused to submit.

WKA 1/26/80 WKA World Welterweight Title: Yoshimitsu Tamashiro vs. Howard Jackson 10R. The late California Flash is mostly known today for his association with Chuck Norris, originally a member of his fighting team then working as his bodyguard & personal trainer & having bit parts in several of Norris' 80's movies, but Jackson was also a very significant figure in the barely documented early days of US foot fighting, the first African American to be ranked #1 in karate where he was champion in both semi & full contact and fighter of the year in 1973 & 1974, moving on to world titles in kickboxing & Muay Thai after returning from a debilitating knee injury that robbed him of 2 years. He was even a sparring partner for Joe Lewis, and eventually peaked at #6 in the WBA boxing rankings. Boxing was the big difference in this fight, as Tamashiro tried to savage Jackson's legs with low kicks to take away his speed, but Jackson would get inside & work the body and head with his punch combos. Early on, Tamashiro used knees on the inside to make Jackson pay for this, but as the fight progressed it was all about beating up the knee Jackson had surgery on. These guys fought at such a remarkably high pace & so aggressively for the first 3 rounds I had to keep reminding myself this wasn't the usual 3 rounder we get today. It felt like a brawl because both were just throwing & throwing, almost seeming without regard to what the other was doing. This definitely was not the style we are used to seeing where one fighter throws and the other fighter defends then counters. The fight felt a bit sloppy because they were just machine gunning each other, but the action and workrate were fantastic. Jackson had to somewhat break from the kamikaze style in the 4th because his lead leg had taken so much damage it was buckling on impact & he was beginning to hobble around. He was a lot more reactive going forward and it started looking more like a conventional modern fight with Jackson trying to time Tamashiro & react to him by either stepping back to avoid or stepping in to eat it but land the left hand. The more damage Jackson took to the leg, the less he kicked, to the point the second half of the fight was basically Jackson's punches against Tamashiro's low kicks. It was a very close, tough to score fight in my opinion. Jackson clearly had more athletic ability & talent, but as the fight progressed his athletic ability was severely compromised and Tamashiro started taking rounds on my card. Tamashiro was definitely hurt by never being able to use the low kicks to open up the high kicks or any other part of his offense despite his best attempts, but he did the one thing that was having success so well that Jackson could barely stand in the later rounds, and thus ha a far more difficult time fighting on his terms. American judges were likely to prefer the boxing of Jackson, which was flashier & looked more impactful, but in the 9th Tamashiro had a great run where he'd land 1 low kick after another because Jackson's leg would buckle from the 1st so he wouldn't be able to do anything quick enough to keep Tamashiro from just landing the second and the third. Jackson managed to stay on his feet though, and did a better job of walking Tamashiro down in the 10th despite the low kicks. Jackson won a unanimous decision 87-84, 90-76, 89-83. The first few half was off the charts with their frantic chaotic action then it got more tactical by necessity, but this was still quite entertaining as well. Excellent match.

MTBN World Welterweight Title Match: Benny Urquidez vs. Iwan Sprang R5. Sprang beats Benny's left leg up with low kicks, but Benny does a good job countering with the overhand left. After the 1st, Urquidez closed the distance to get inside Sprang's kicks, and was now getting off first with the left hand, mixing the jab & hook. Sprang thus tried to box Benny, but Urquidez's punches were a lot more direct & he had the head movement to avoid Sprang's wide power punches. Sprang tried to use his movement to create space after taking a bunch of solid shots to the head early in the 4th, but he wasn't really firing back much now, and lost a point for having his mouthpiece dislodged 3 times to get breaks. Sprang's left eye was getting swollen shut, and when his mouthpiece again went flying out in the 5th after a series of punches the ref ruled it a knockdown. The ref began ruling knockdowns because Sprang was just too spent to be in any hurry before stopping it because Sprang turned sideways when Benny was about to attack him against the ropes. I thought Sprang probably won the 1st, but after that Benny made all the adjustments and just had too much skill & conditioning.

PKC World Middleweight Title: Jean-Yves Thierault vs. Bob Thurman 3R. Thurman wanted to fight in a miniature phone booth, so he just kept coming forward endlessly to smother Thierault. He didn't really defend so much as he just kept throwing and throwing and throwing, which meant he was at his most effective in the first round when he was fresh. The pace of this fight never wavered though, and there was great action throughout. Thierault was certainly the much more powerful and precise striker, with superior technique. He wanted to land one or more big shots rather than land a bunch of shots into the block, so he concentrated on defending and countering with a precise power shot, following it if he could. Thierault was better at range though, so he was trying to get Thurman off him, mostly to no avail, even using his elbow to push him back to open up space for a kick. Thurman fared much better in the final 30 seconds of the 1st round when he was able to back Thierault into the ropes or corner, and may have stolen the round. This style continued into the second round, and it started to become apparent that Thierault was simply letting Thurman punch himself out into the block because Thierault really wasn't making much of an effort to use his lateral movement to get off the ropes. Thierault did some nice work to the body, and had a solid overhand right to the eye, but for the most part he didn't do a lot in the first half of the 2nd round. Then he came on big in the later stages when he began to use the uppercut. Thierault's combinations were sharp, and he welted Thurman's left eye with a short range uppercut. Even though the issue was really under the eye, Thurman's eye was quickly swelling shut, to the point he probably needed a KO in the 3rd before the doctor called it. Thierault went all out at attacking the eye, doubling up on the jab and working all his punch combos to the left side of Thurman's head. Thurman's defenses dramatically decreased in the third, as he couldn't really see out of the right eye, and Thierault began to hammer him time after time. The doctor allowed the fight to continue when they checked in the middle of the round, but by the time the round was over, the eye was almost completely shut, so the fight was called. It was unfortunate because the action here was really good, but definitely a good decision because Thurman would have just gotten hammered until he finally dropped. They had a rematch in France 2 years later, which Thierault also won. Good match.

10/7/86 taped 9/86 Atlanta Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel: Jerry Trimble vs. Pascal Leplat 7R. Trimble was one of the fastest fighters around. His speed helped him generate a lot of power, and he loved to rely on flash because he could. This didn't make him the most consistent fighter in the world, but he was a ton of fun to watch, and this match was certainly no exception. Leplat wasn't as physically gifted, but he knew what he was up against, and fought a smart fight. He tried to survive the early onslaught and rely on his conditioning. Strategically, he wanted to get inside of Trimble's fast spinning kicks, keep the pressure on and make sure he got off first to keep the less disciplined Trimble at bay. Early on, Trimble was much too fast, landing two spinning back kicks to the face in the first 30 seconds. Trimble had Leplat backing up, and the more Leplat backed up, the more Trimble could keep firing fast spinning moves at him. Round one was a big round for Trimble, throwing some great flashy combinations including missing with a spinning back fist but landing the overhand right, left high kick, and reverse spinning high kick. Leplat did a much better job of not only holding his ground, but coming forward after the first round. He still wasn't nearly as active as he needed to be in the second, but now he was too close for Trimble to land his spinning kicks, so Trimble never really got going in this round either. This was a marginal round for Trimble, but round three was a much different story, as Leplat finally let his jabs and middle kicks go, and now Trimble wasn't particular active, and seemed to be tiring already. Trimble adjusted to the counterpunching role in the fourth, quickly going over the top of Leplat's left jab with an overhand right . This wound up being a huge round for Trimble, as he emptied the tying trying to finish Leplat, mostly with right hands, which were out landing cleanly because Leplat was able to clinch. Leplat recovered well, and probably had a slight edge in round five, just doing a good job of coming in throwing then giving up quickly to avoid the counter. These are the sort of rounds that are hard to win when you are fighting the local star in his hometown as sort of a tune-up for next month's big title match with Leroy Taylor. We weren't seeing many spinnings shots from Trimble in the sixth, and suddenly Leplat was actually looked faster, definitely outworking Trimble, and arguably hurting him with 2 lead rights at the very end. Round seven was pretty close, with both looking pretty good. Leplat was again a bit more consistent, but Trimble was more lively and much more aggressive with hard counterpunches than we'd seen in the last few rounds. Trimble won a unanimous decision 70-68.6, 69.2-68.2, 70-64. Due to the knockdown and the first round also being a big Trimble round, I think the decision was fair (at least from the first two judges who actually watched the fight), but this was a very good and close fight that both should be proud of. Very good match.

early /87 Rockford: Jerry Trimble vs. B.J. Lavota R5. Trimble doesn't take his 5'5" opponent seriously, seemingly spending most of the first four rounds working on his defense. He's arguably losing the fight due to lack of aggression, and his corner tells him it's go time, at which point he promptly destroys Lavota's nose early in the fifth with a great overhand right counter to a spinning heel kick, soon leading to the stoppage.

WMAC Women's Feathweight Title: Kathy Long vs. Kyoko Kamikaze 5R. Very tough matchup for 21-year-old Kamikaze as Long has the experience, but also the speed & reach, and she happens to be a great fighter to boot. Typical high paced women's bout with a lot of action, but much better than average technique. It was pretty much one-way traffic though with Long winning every round, including dropping Kamikaze twice in the 5th, but failing to get the finish mostly because Kamikaze was tough & refused to surrender.

WMAC Heavyweight Title: Dennis Alexio vs. Branko Cikatic R3 1:54. Alexio comes forward applying massive pressure and getting inside to take away Cikatic's kicking game. Cikatic is also strong with the knees, but the rules don't allow clinch knees, which is a massive advantage for Alexio, who is now free to work his uppercuts on the inside because Cikatic can't exactly answer properly. Cikatic is nonetheless losing points for violations, and gets a bad cut over his eye in the 2nd. In the 3rd, legendary karate champion Pat Burleson loses complete control of the fight when Alexio's foot pad falls off, but they don't put it back on. Cikatic goes to the ropes, and then comes back toward the center seemingly to say something to Burleson, who appears to restart the fight without setting the fighters back up and getting them ready and then seems to try to delay the fight because he realizes Cikatic has his hands down & isn't looking, but Alexio just cold cocks a completely unsuspecting Cikatic, who is looking at Burleson rather than defending himself, with a left hook. Luckily, Alexio mostly misses the 2nd hook and whiffs on a kick as Cikatic is more or less on the canvas. Cikatic's seconds then came in the ring to attend to him, and Burleson didn't make any kind of decision as to what to do. Eventually, the doctor decided Cikatic couldn't continue, and since this occurred before 3 rounds were completed, it was ruled a technical draw. It's hard to blame Alexio because the ref wasn't breaking & he threw after he said go, and this referee mishap probably cost him a win, albeit a lucky one (though he was already way ahead). Certainly, the fans lost out on the conclusion of a fairly entertaining fight.

WKA World Super Heavyweight Title: Stan Longinidis vs Grant Barker R3 1:16. In round one, Stan just walked Barker down, keeping him against the ropes with the upper thigh kick and front kick. Barker was clearly looking for a huge counterpunch, but since he wasn't holding his ground, Stan had no reason to overcommit. Barker tried to correct that in the 2nd, but when he tried to come over the top of Stan's low kick with his own middle kick, Stan just dropped in with a big left hook. Stan tried to pour it on, but even though Barker was missing, he fired back so heavily that you had to respect his capabilities. Round two was a big round for Stan, and though Barker had no quit in him, it was not a good sign that his thigh was beginning to give him problems. Early in round three, Barker's left leg kick gave out from a low kick. Stan went right back to the low kick, and Barker tried to answer with his own right low kick, but the plant leg was compromised, and I think that did him in more than Stan's subsequent left hook.

ISKA Full Contact Light Heavyweight World Title: Rick Roufus vs. Ernesto Hoost 12R UD. A very entertaining match, though also a somewhat disappointing one because you would expect a match between two of the all time greats to actually be somewhat competitive. Hoost did win some rounds in the second half of the fight, but Roufus had virtually clinched the decision by the point that it became a back and forth fight. Roufus was giving up 2 or 3 inches in height, but was able to keep Hoost at bay with his long, flashy kicks. The key factor here was the lack of low kicks, which allowed Roufus to much more successfully fight out of the side stance, and sprinkle in his spectacular spinning and jumping kicks. Hoost accidentally forgot the bad rule, and was scolded heavily for a leg kick early in the second round. Roufus' hands were ready when Hoost tried to close the distance, and he would often push forward with a punch combo as soon as he saw Hoost was going to kick. Roufus simply closed and extended the distance much faster, so he was able to stay outside and score with his kicks, or get in fast and score with his hands then get away without taking punishment. Roufus was really relaxed and flowing here, and while not doing a ton of damage, was kind of humiliating Hoost. Even though Hoost hadn't hit his prime yet, you never expect anyone to be able to make him look like a fool. Hoost was really struggling offensively because he just never seemed to be able to get into range, the side stance keeping Roufus so far from Hoost's right hand. Even though Roufus was winning every round easily, he still had to act like he was nearly crippled from taking a kick to the hip, trying to milk a point deduction. That being said, things were getting comical as Roufus kicks so high that seemingly every time Hoost tried to answer with his own kick, it was some kind of foul that had Roufus hunched over on the ropes for 30 seconds. In actuality, I think Roufus was getting pretty tired from throwing so many high dexterity kicks, but he did also appeared to be more than a bit hobbled. In the second half of the fight, he started standing around more, and thus Hoost finally had a target. Hoost may have won the seventh and eighth rounds, and after that Roufus switched to mostly boxing on the inside, which he probably got the better of, but certainly not to the extent he did fighting on the outside. Roufus did a better job of digging in to the body, and his goal was to get Hoost on the ropes, as when Hoost had space to just back away, he now had a pretty easy target, as Roufus was no longer closing distance with any speed. Roufus wasn't kicking much more than he had to in the final rounds, but managed to put an exclamation on the win, posterizing Hoost with a jump spinning heel kick in the 12th. Good match.

RINGS Jiu Jitsu Rules: Tsuyoshi Kosaka vs. Scott Sullivan 3:00. Entertaining bout in the old, aggressive submission loses position but it doesn't matter (because my opponent will give it right back when his submission fails...) grappling style. Kosaka had the quick takedown, & applied most of the pressure, but Sullivan had a few tricks up his sleeve, including nearly hitting an armbar.

Full Contact Rules: Sugar Miyuki vs. Brenda Rouse 5R. Miyuki is known to wrestling fans for fighting Kumiko Maekawa on AJW's Tokyo Dome show, but she was the Shootboxing champion at 104 pounds. She's at a considerable height & reach disadvantage to 5'2" 108 pound kickboxing champion Rouse, a Oklahoma native who wound up training with Tommy Morrison & switching to boxing where she won a few of their zillion titles. Rouse has a wide variety of distance kicks that were all finding their target more often than not in the 1st round. I really like the adjustment Miyuki makes in the 2nd, a reverse psychology style where she knows straight up distance isn't going to work, but rather than getting hit darting in to get in range, she uses her movement to stay out of Rouse's range, forcing an impatient Rouse to come forward. Miyuki times Rouse's approaches well, consistently hitting her with a reverse combo of sorts, a low kick as soon as she's in kicking range then as many punches as she can get in as soon as she's walked into punching range. Though Miyuki made the fight more strategic, both have a high volume output, and the crowd is responding to their constant action with much bigger & more consistent pops than any of the previous bouts had. Rouse probably still wins the 2nd round, & they skip the 3rd for unknown reasons, but Miyuki has taken control in the 4th with her cardio. Rouse has her moments when she gets Miyuki on the ropes, but generally Miyuki is able to keep circling away. Rouse comes out energized in the 5th, and looks like a new fighter now as she's closing the distance quicker & generally attacking faster & more aggressively. Rouse has a considerable advantage in weight of shot, & Miyuki has a hard time dealing with the larger opponent when she's coming at her so fiercely. Rouse stuns Miyuki with a left hand early, and continues to get her hands through to close things out. Even with the dominant final round, it's still only a split decision win for Rouse 50-48, 46-49, 49-47. Good match.

Full Contact Rules: Dale "Apollo" Cook vs. Mark King 5R. Though in his late thirties & coming out of a three year retirement, Cook was still so fast & fluid out there. Cook has an amazing arsenal of attacks, & mixes them so much you almost wonder if he's trying to hit every strike in the arsenal & land something to every part of the body just to keep from being bored. Who else throws things such as a jump spinning high kick, spinning high kick combination? In the most basic reading, on the outside, he beats you with his kicks, on the inside, he beats you with his knees, but he has that Giorgio Petrosyan ability to avoid everything you throw while always being able to hit you with something. Cook often employed the side stance, but is very aggressive & flashy out of it, throwing powerful mid & high kicks & using it to set up the spinning high kick. King was totally overmatched early, but got himself into the match with a powerful series of knees with Cook stuck on the ropes. King eventually got Cook on the ropes again in the 2nd, but this time Cook weathered his flurry of hooks & dropped him with a right uppercut left hook combo. King kind of shut down & shifted to survival mode after getting knocked down with a knee to the midsection at the end of the 2nd, but Cook dropped him again with a spinning back elbow in the 4th. Cook fought the 5th with his hands at or below his waist, just begging King to attack him, but was still so quick he still landed crushing punches out of a silly taunting softball wind up for another knockdown. Yeah, surely turned out to be a jobber match even though King is the All-Marine junior heavyweight kickboxing champion, with Cook winning 50-41 on two judges cards, but it was so flashy & spectacular you didn't even care. Unfortunately, Cook reportedly broke his arm & a few knuckles during the fight, which sent him back to retirement. Good match.

DRAKA World Super Heavyweight Title: Maurice Smith vs. Jean-Claude Leuyer 12R. I like kickboxing better as a 5 round sport than a 12 round sport because the fighters are forced to push a lot harder each round rather than to conserve energy for the long haul, but the durability of some of these old fighters is pretty extraordinary, especially when you consider the general inconsistency in rules & lack of weight classes they had to deal with. In these days, Smith was alternating between MMA fights in the US that rewarded you for being as large as possible, kickboxing matches in K-1 that were five three minute rounds with no weight classes or steroid testing so most opponents were huge, kickboxing matches in the US that had a bunch of weight classes but were sometimes twelve two minute rounds & had inconsistent kicking rules, all or partially worked fights in Pancrase & RINGS that still mar his MMA record for reasons known only to Sherdog & the like, and now DRAKA which was essentially Shoot Boxing without knees. Leuyer was one of the top US fighters of the era, a dominant force in the California scene with numerous ISKA titles, but unfortunately he will mainly be remembered for all his losses because his K-1 fights where he was just billed as Jean-Claude make up the majority of the footage that still floats around. Wikipedia claims a 39-11-1 career record, but Leuyer is 8-11-1 in the fights they actually have results for. A decade younger than Smith, Leuyer was in his prime here & focusing all his efforts on kickboxing whereas Smith had predominantly transitioned to MMA by this point, but was getting back into kickboxing after the frustration of Randy Couture laying on him for 21 minutes to take his UFC title. Smith was a better kickboxer in his younger days when he was lighter & relied more on his speed to find the opening for the big high kick KO or simple beat up your legs enough that you wilted before he needed it. Having spent so much time trying not to get taken down in MMA, Smith mainly relied on his boxing here, perhaps because he had an issue with his right ankle, but either way this wasn't his biggest strength in the prime of his kickboxing career despite having a powerful right hand. DRAKA rules allowing takedowns seemingly gave the edge to Smith, who probably stole the first with one, but Leuyer reversed him in the 3rd & the 7th, so overall it wound up being a disadvantage. Smith was a slow starter regardless as he looked to figure the opponent out & exploit their weaknesses while he warmed up, but this fight started extra slow because both were also pacing themselves. It was another example of why I hate rounds scoring, as the activity was low enough in the early rounds that no one was winning the rounds decisively & the scores wound up being all over the place. Leuyer spent more time walking forward & threw more kicks, but Smith landed more cleanly & crisply as well as doing the better work with short punches on the inside. The fight began to pick up in the 5th when Smith tried to back away from Leuyer's double jab, but Leuyer nailed him with a long overhand right. Still, it was essentially even through 6. Leuyer took control with a big 7th round where he began to finish his combos with clean left hooks. Round 8 was another close round, but while the arguement could be made that Leuyer won it, it was more notable for Smith changing his tactics & finally pushing forward, which led to the fight turning in his favor as he finally opened up in the subsequent rounds. Smith continued to box aggressively in the 9th, which was the biggest round of the fight for either, stunning Leuyer early with a few jabs then working him over with his hands on the ropes. Smith landed a solid left hook early in the 11th that slit Leuyer's eyelid all the way across, a cut similar to when Stallone had the corner cut it so he can see in Rocky though not that gruesome. Leuyer gave his back early in the 12th to avoid a takedown & Smith just released & nailed him with a short right hook in the corner then went to work on him, stunning him with a short right hand then getting a high kick in. Smith was a little tired & Leuyer did a good job of tying Mo up while he recovered to survive the round. This wasn't as bad a decision as either GGG vs. Canelo fight, but was kind of similar to their 2nd match where you were impressed by the lesser fighter early but then the better fighter really took over only to leave with nothing for his efforts. Blinky Rodriguez & Phil Stone both had Smith marginally ahead after 6 whereas I thought it was like 2-2-2, but Smith won the last 4 rounds, with 9 & 12 being dominant rounds & 11 being the biggest damage of the fight with a nasty cut. To have this be a majority draw where 1 judge had it 7-5 Leuyer was pretty inexplicable beyond the fact that Leuyer was fighting in his home state. Good match.

Tournament Semifinal: Cung Le vs. Gaik Israelyan 5R (5th round not shown). This was Le's 2nd professional fight, and it was a fantastic watch as always, being thrown into the deep waters with an 18-3 fighter who held a couple of titles. Justin Gaethje has higher quality matches on a more consistent basis as he fights better competition, but there may not have been a more purely exciting fighter in combat sports than Le, certainly no one who could repeatedly make opponents look more foolish. Le was probably even been more exciting in Sanshou than in MMA because he was able to use his throws without worrying about the fight getting stuck on the ground. In typical Le fashion, he went right to the highlight reel material, starting off with a spinning high kick then dropping for a double leg, but instead scooping Gaik up & essentially powerslams him. Le's striking wasn't as impressive here as in later years, but he was regularly able to do variations of this slam, throwing his strike & then just dropping down at will before Israelyan could throw his counter & doing some sort of scoop slam variation. Le was just too quick & unpredictable early on. You always had to be on guard becuase he would do low percentage moves, but he could follow them up while the opponent was off guard, for instance missing a left spinning backfist, but then immediately landing a nice right hook. One of these low percentage specials eventually backfired on Le, as he missed an axe kick in the corner & was able to avoid Israelyan's right hook counter but then there was no space for him to evade the subsequent left hook. This could have been ruled a knockdown, and that would likely have changed the fight. I think what saved Le, aside from the ref having a bad angle where Gaik's back was in his way, is he immediately went into a desperation takedown once his knee hit the mat. Le wasn't doing much to keep Israelyan off him in the 4th, and Israelyan, who was primarily a boxer, was now able to overwhelm him with hooks in the corner for a knockdown that was scored. Le got up quickly, but wobbled from the neutral corner to his own, and the ref inexplicably brought the doctor in to check him after giving him the standing 8 count then let Le walk back to his corner, so almost 45 seconds passed before Le had to fight again. Le eventually got his senses back & took Gaik down with a beautiful jumping leg scissors then Gaik took a cheap shot, kicking him in the face before they got back up. Le had two more takedowns before the round ended to somewhat negate the knockdown. Sadly the PPV signed off before the start of the 5th round because the 3 hour window was up. The final round saw Le using more scissor takedowns, and Gaik again cheap shot him for his trouble, which at least cost him points. Le was expending a lot of energy as always, and Gaik was able to work him over with boxing because a tiring Le no longer possessed the kind of footwork & movement he had early in the fight, but Le did fire back with some powerful right hooks. Overall, Gaik's inability to adjust to the takedowns & actually stop some was the difference in the fight, and kind of what made it memorable as these techniques, albeit eventually a bit repetitive, were always amazing. Le got the unanimous decision here then won the final in the 1st round. Excellent match.

IKF Super Heavyweight Full Contact Title Decision Match: Kevin Rosier vs. Mike Labree R10 0:26. Rosier's last kickboxing match.

IKF Heavyweight International Rules Title Decision Match: Stan the Man Longinidis vs. Rick Roufus 9R. At the time, this was a super fight between two of the best kickboxers of the decade, both in their mid 30's. Stan came in at a claimed 48-6-3 and Roufus as 50-5, and on paper had edges because he'd fought his whole career at heavyweight (despite only being 215 or so pounds) & his career had been under real kickboxing rules with his signature win being a :15 second TKO title victory over Dennis Alexio on 12/6/92 where Stan handed the champ his 2nd loss (after Don Wilson) breaking his lead leg with the 1st low kick of the fight. Meanwhile, being from America, Roufus had often fought under the corny no low kicks rules that we saw earlier in the night when he wasn't fighting internationally, and he'd also been a light heavyweight most of his career (though by this point he's actually the bigger of the two). Stats & pedigree always take a back seat to health though, and Stan was coming off a complete knee reconstruction, and was no longer the same fighter, retiring in '00 (though he fought a few times after that) whereas Roufus had his 1st MMA bout at 41 in 2008 & fought in the Final 16 of the K-1 WGP at 46 in 2012. Roufus got off to as slow start because he was standing in front of Stan too much & was throwing singles shots, which allowed Stan to close the distance, getting inside Roufus strike & landing his own counter punch. In the 1st 2 rounds, Stan was coming forward & either chopping at the lead leg or attacking with punches, it didn't necessarily matter whether he led or countered because Roufus was in range & wasn't keeping him on the defensive. Once Roufus got into his rather unique jogging karate style, it it was difficult for Stan to find his target consistently because Roufus didn't care about fighting any kind of a consistent, percentage style. Roufus would just use his movement if Stan attacked, not looking to counter, so Stan was rarely able to land anything but the low kick. Roufus was very offensive for a fighter using a karate stance though, essentially staying out of range then coming forward really quickly with a long distance closing strike that was either a a wild feast or famine strike that would probably miss but might end the fight if it didn't or a roundhouse kick or hook to start a lengthy combos that was hard to counter because he was through the pocket to the inside quickly & threw 3 or 4 shots all to different areas that you couldn't just ignore. The big difference here was the speed advantage for Roufus, he was just the more dynamic athlete, and he was also the rangier fighter. Early on Stan was able to beat on Roufus' lead leg, and although this was the one consistent area of his game, he was never able to slow him down. As the fight progressed, Roufus instead got looser & more daring, happy to be the showman with his high kicks & spinning techniques, but also slowing Stan down by tenderizing his leg. The fight could have been 2 rounds a piece going into the 5th, but Roufus distanced himself with his daring, mising a 1-2 then a right hook & a fake left straight that turned out to a left high kick that caught Stan totally off guard for the knockdown. Roufus was now willing to exchange on the inside with Stan, using several effective uppercuts as he poured it on, but although Stan didn't have his legs back, he had a few effective combos as well, making this the best round of the fight. Stan came back reasonably in the 6th, but Roufus landed more low kicks than Stan did, and was also able to follow a left low kick with a high kick. Southpaw Roufus had mainly been using the outside kick to the back leg, but increasingly worked the inside kick to the front leg, trying to get Stan thinking low but not knowing low where so he could instead land a spinning middle kick, high kick, or lead uppercut. More and more, Roufus seemed to just be having fun out there, picking the opposition apart by keeping him standing there guessing. Early in the 9th, Roufus hurt Stan following the left low kick with the left high kick, and spent most of the round beating on him against the ropes, bobbling his head repeatedly with nasty uppercuts. Stan's legs were gone, and he was just surviving on heart & willpower. I thought Stan wasn't moving because of the punishment, but he was hobbling once the round ended, and couldn't come out for the 10th due to a broken bone in his right foot. Good match.

IKF Cruiserweight Full Contact Title Match: Dick Kimber vs. Don "The Dragon" Wilson 3R. Wilson's 1st fight in 8 years. He drops Kimber twice in the 3rd, with Kimber seemingly being saved by the bell as the 2nd knockdown from a barrage of short punches came with just 2 seconds left. As the announcers are expecting Wilson to protest Kimber being given the reprise as you can only be saved by the bell in the last round, the referee visits Kimber on the stool & tells him the fight is over because he didn't bother to answer the 10 count, just getting up when he felt like it & making his way to his corner.

Jake Behic vs Steve Douet 6R UD. An insane all offense war operating entirely under the best defense is a good offense mentality. Douet was the more dangerous fighter in the early rounds because his hooks were so powerful, but having had the flu the past 2 weeks, this nutso pace of fighting 6 two minute rounds like it was a 1 round fight was a big advantage to Behic, who just never gave him any opportunity to rest & completely broke down his footwork as the fight progressed. Douet was really effective when he could throw his hooks on the inside, but Behic was going to keep coming forward & make Douet to burn a ton of energy no matter what, either forcing Douet against the ropes or making him press forward to hold his ground but still fight on the inside in a more advantageous position. Douet was most successful when he could cut off the ring and just throw a flurry of hooks, but generally Behic had a lot better footwork & more energy to prevent this. Douet excelled a lot more when he was able to make it a wild brawl, but while Behic was the better technical fighter, he was trying to win the long game so he more than willing to engage in his share of high activity exchanges. Behic finishing his combos with low kicks whereas Douet was mostly looking to pile on another hook really contributed to the attrition aspect of his game. Douet's legs began to go in the 2nd half, but because his inside fighting was so strong he was able to hang with Behic even with his back on the ropes, using the hooks to set up the right uppercut. Both fighters landed so many shots in each round it was hard to feel confident about the scoring. It felt like Behic was winning because he had the better tactics, ring generalship, & cardio, but his corner emphasized that he needed the last 2 rounds. Behic's best round was the 5th, really wearing on Douet with body hooks & low kicks against the ropes. Before the final round, Douet's corner told him, "If you don't pick it up the next round, I'm going to stop it after that round, alright? It's finished!" Douet gave a big effort in the 6th, landing some nice body hooks & uppercuts with his back against the ropes, but Douet began to take over midway through after a big uppercut & worked him over in the corner with his relentless pressure. Behic won a unanimous decision. Excellent match.

ISKA World Super Middleweight Title: Gurkan Ozkan vs Tibor Vermes R4. Tarik Solak emigrated to Australia from Turkey when he was five, and went from running a gym featuring fighters of Turkish decent such as Ozkan to promoting his own shows in 1993, eventually running the K-1 Oceania shows. Promoters of a league are always going to be more invested in one fighter than another, but at least since both fighters are under contract with the promotion one man's loss tends to be the other man's gain a lot more often. In this case, Solak was simply promoting a superfight with his officials based around one of his top stars fending off a younger, undefeated fighter who was poised to be the next big thing except Solak had no vested interest in him. The result was cringeworthy even to someone who grew up watching Gary Shaw Productions. As a kickboxing fight, it was an entertaining action oriented affair, but with the amount of nonsense, it could easily have been a pro wrestling match booked by a Vince. Ozkan was overmatched, but got himself worked up enough to make it a fight after getting KO'd Bisping style at the end of the 2nd. Vermes had the length & the speed, and was able to keep coming in & beating Ozkan up with clinch knees. Ozkan's strategy was to land a big shot while Vermes was coming in, and he certainly had some success with this, but Vermes was landing consistently & controlling the range while Ozkan was hoping to land a single shot. Vermes' size advantage was such that he could land the step knee coming in then just grab the clinch & continue with a series of knees. Ozkan's shenanigans started early when he landed a left straight then ducked into a bodylock & tripped Vermes, which would have been a great move if this was MMA rather than kickboxing. Ozkan landed some punches when Vermes gave him space, but wasn't able to use them or anything else to keep Vermes off him. Vermes opened up a bad cut above the left eye late in the 2nd. In the closing seconds, he clearly KO'd Ozkan with a clinch knee against the ropes with Ozcan crumbling to a knee then faceplanting, but instead of calling the fight they just let the round end. Ozkan did manage to get up, and I think the timing was legitimate, but referee Dave Hedgecock ignoring the way he fell & just worrying about getting Vermes to the opposite corner seemed odd. Ozkan fought most of the 3rd with his back on the ropes, but Vermes burned himself out failing to finish, which allowed Ozkan to finally come on, landing a right that was his best punch of the fight and actually getting Vermes on the ropes for a few seconds. Ozkan started taunting Vermes before the start of the 4th & seemed energized fighting on negative emotion. Hedgecock called time out & admonished Vermes' corner after breaking the fighters with Ozkan in the ropes, and while he had his back turned Ozkan just charged over to Vermes & started fighting again, which should have been a point deduction. Once Hedgecock restarted the fight, Vermes got one of his many clinches, but this time Ozkan dragged him down in a headlock & started choking him out like it was a schoolyard scrum. When Hedgecock finally pulled Ozkan off after telling him to break & tapping him failed, Ozkan grabbed Vermes around the neck as he was getting up & pushed him, which again should have been a point deduction. Vermes was all rattled & out of sorts by this street fighting nonsense & while Hedgecock was busy threatening to finally take a point if Ozkan cheated some more, Vermes stepped out of the ring seemingly to leave. He got back in the ring after his cornerman patted him on the side, but Hedgecock turned around in time to see him on the outside. Nonetheless, he ensured Vermes that it wouldn't happen again, as if he was in any sort of control, & claimed he was actually going to take a point to assuage him. Hedgecock was about ready to restart the fight, though no point had been taken, however Solak had jumped on the ring apron & waved the fight off then hopped in the ring & raised his fighters hand. Hedgecock should have disqualified Ozkan for his promoter being in the ring, but given that Solak is Hedgecock's boss, he instead played toadie & called the fight off when he was informed by his superior that the fight was over because Vermes left the ring, a rule Vermes' team clearly didn't know of given his trainer Dana Goodson actually asked Solak to show him the rules. Efforts were made to continue the fight, but not on Solak's part as that obviously would not have benefitted the guy he wanted to win. Nor would the suggestion of going to the scorecards given his fighter had lost every round. The fans were verging on rioting before Solak got on the mic, and things were just getting worse the more he acted like a cheap, sleezy dick. Shadiness to this extent may be unsurpassed in western kickboxing, but luckily the result wound up being switched to a no contest by the commission. This should have set up the the "rematch of the century", but it never happened as Vermes never fought again, getting busted as part of a weed enterprise. Ozkan was also imprisoned years later for a high speed chase with the police after they tried to bust him for doing 170km in an 80km residential. Good match in spite of the nonsense.

MMA: Jose Tabora vs. Michael Bencic. Pretty remedial. Taboras had no ground defense at all, so I couldn't tell you if Bencic is good or Tabora was just so bad.

Kickboxing: Luis Ruiz vs. Tony Ventura. Good fight. Ventura dominated R1, but it was an even round because he had a point deducted for his spinning back fist turning into an elbow. Ruiz did better in R2 because he fought inside more. Ventura fights like a karate guy rather than a kickboxer, so he was better from a distance. This was especially true since he used so many spinning strikes. His spinning kicks weren't impressive, but his back fist bloodied if not broke Ruiz's nose in R3. Ruiz didn't have great stamina, but he grew in effectiveness as he figured Ventura out.

ISKA Light Heavyweight Championship: Orlando Rivera vs. Kadir Kadri. This looked like it would be onesided with the smooth veteran champ just being too talented and experienced for the young challenger that was about half his age. Kadri had a very good tank and even better heart. It looked like Rivera was playing with him in the beginning, but it was Kadri that eventually came on, making the final rounds the best of the fight.

MMA: Royler Gracie vs. Henry Matamoros. Matamoros went for submissions at the expense of position, which tends to be a poor strategy unless you think it's your only chance. Gracie took his back when Matamoros made a feeble attempt to straighten his arm. I really like the way Gracie finished this. He controlled his body so well with a figure 4 waistlock that he didn't need to hurry to get the hooks in.

Kickboxing: Don "The Dragon" Wilson vs. Eddie Butcher. These guys combined age is 90. Wilson is still in shape, but Butcher dropped in excess of 60 pounds since March to make weight. He actually looked like the better fighter when he pressured Wilson, kicking with good power. He was severly lacking in stamina though, so this only happened in a couple early rounds and then he got tentative. Wilson was seriously rusty, hesitating to pull the trigger on his punches throughout the 1st half. He's still cool to watch because he's probably the only kickboxer that's succeeded at a high level fighting out of a side stance. He's always hoping around, often fighting on one leg as he fakes side kicks. Wilson broke his rib somewhere along the line. He eventually let his punches go, cutting Butcher in the 8th and finding some semblance of his old rhythm. Decent fight.

Hiroto Uesako vs. Salimkhan Sadulloev 0:16 R2. What a weird match. The ref seems to stop the fight when Sadulloev is overwhelming Uesako, but it turns out he was instead warning Sadulloev for a kick to the head of a downed opponent, which was actually a kick to the armpit & thus legal. After a long break, Uesako recovered enough to survive the round. At the start of the 2nd, Sadulloev crumbled from a kick to the left knee, and couldn't continue, though he was holding his rib rather than the knee, so I'm not sure what the injury was or when it occured.

Bantamweight King of Pancrase Title: Rafael Silva vs. Kenta Takizawa 3:22 R1

No Respect 2/17/03 Melbourne (Ex VQ): Stan The Man Longinidis vs. Gurkan Ozkan. Stan came back after a 2 year absense to face Tarik Solak's champion Ozkan in an open weight grudge match with a $100,000 bounty for injuring Paul Orndorff, I mean, winning by KO. Stan had a noticable size advantage, but was at the very end of his career, in fact this wound up being his last match despite it supposedly being the 1st of a 3 match contract. He was out of shape, quite rusty, & didn't move very well at this point, so he was thus all about throwing a setup shot to try to finish with a huge overhand because power is the last thing to go, and Ozkan was naturally a super middleweight. While the 2 minute rounds favored Stan's aggressive style, Ozkan wanted no part of eating these haymakers after getting dropped in the 1st, and settled into a strategy of working over Stan's bad knees from the outside while trying to creep forward behind the jab. Ozkan said he would out kick Stan, and this was a good strategy given how many knee surgeries Stan has withstood, but no matter what he was out to avoid getting caught with the end of Stan's combination. If Stan was anywhere near his prime, he would likely have finished Ozkan by the 2nd round, but the fact he wasn't made for an interesting fight, especially to Michael Schiavello, who was as much Ozkan's personal cheerleader as play by play man. The match had a pro wrestling feel to it as many of Solak promoted shows tended to, including the combatants going head to head during the pre match instructions until Stan pushed Ozkan off for a big pre match pull apart. Stan dropped Ozkan at the end of the 1st with the basic combo he was using all night, the low kick setting up just try to reach the opponent with the big overhands or hooks. This one worked because the low kick turned Ozkan so he couldn't back to avoid the punches. Ozkan had a better 2nd round, giving Stan some of his own medicine landing the low kick, avoiding the counter, and stunning Stan with a right hook. Ozkan followed up well, using the jab to back Stan then throwing heavy punch combos when he had him on the ropes. Ozkan tried to use his jab & low kick to hold the center & inch forward, but Stan would back him when he took the initiative, which unfortunately was less & less often as the fight progressed. Stan just wasn't active enough, and it was Ozkan taking the rounds by beating up Stan's old knees. At the start of the 9th, Ozkan landed a couple right hooks then backed Stan into the ropes and upended him with some low kicks. Stan didn't seem particularly hurt, and got up at the 8 count, but his corner threw in the towel. The fight seemed legitimate up until this point, but many people believe it was fixed because there was no reason for the fight not to continue there. Stan was down a couple rounds so he would likely have lost the decision, but he didn't seem particularly hurt or injured, certainly not to the point he couldn't finish the fight.

MMA

Eduard Vartanyan vs. Florent Betorangal 3R UD

Alexander Yakovlev Paul Daley 3R. Not the most scintilating contest to be certain, but a beautiful example of smart, well timed grappling technique trumping muay thai violence. Daley would come out aggressive, stalking Yakovlev but either fail to cut off the ring or have Yakovlev drop down into a takedown or a body lock to work the clinch game when Daley thought he did. Daley might land a punch or two in the process, but as soon as he finished his combination, Yakovlev immediately got hold of him and turned it into a grappling match. Yakovlev's offense wasn't that impressive, but he was really slippery, negating & smothering all of Daley's offense and showing perfect timing on his lock ups/takedowns. Kind of a late Demian Maia performance from Yakovlev, except his conditioning was as strong in the 3rd as it was in the 1st. Yakovlev won a UD. Average match.

Alexey Oleinik vs. Mirko Filipovic R1 4:30. Oleinik wasn't going to stand & bang with Cro Cop, & Cro Cop couldn't keep him off him long enough to get going. Once Oleinik got Mirko down, you knew it was trouble. Cro Cop tried for a triangle, but Oleinik shook it off, passed to side mount, and beat him with one of those submissions so lame - little more than a schoolyard headlock - no one knows what to call it.

Kongold got out of the corner, and tried to fire back, but Grajs dropped him with a right hook counter at the bell. I thought they probably could have stopped it here even though it looks bad when the round is over, but Grajs soon backed Kongold into the corner and finished him with a right hook and a knee.

Izzeddine Al Derbani vs. Jonathan Tuhu 3R. Al Derbani is one of the top fighters in the middle east, holding the Desert Force featherweight title in MMA & also competing in their lightweight division as well as in muay thai, which is what this was. His hand speed is very impressive. Tuhu threw monster wide power punches, but as much as he wanted to come forward & press the action, Al Derbani was able to stunt his progress & maintain distance by consistently beating him to the punch. Once Tuhu's forward progress was stopped, Al Derbani would back him with kicks, particularly to the body. Tuhu had to get all the way in to the clinch to prevent it from being one way traffic, but then it was rather sloppy with neither creating enough space to land that cleanly & Tuhu eventually taking Al Derbani down even though that wasn't scoring him any points. There were a lot of flashy misses in the fight, with Al Derbani trying a leaping elbow, spinning high kick, spinning elbow, etc., which mainly served to create more distance so it was easier for him to go back to landing the low & middle kick. Both guys are inexperienced & rough around the edges, but if they were going to miss, they were going to miss big, and the fight was entertaining because they were going for it. I liked the fight more the first time, but the 3rd round impressed me because despite Al Derbani presumably being up 2 rounds, he tried at least as hard to get a finish in the 3rd as Tuhu did. Tuhu countered Al Derbani's spinning switch kick with a right hand, but it didn't connect cleanly & was rightfully ruled a slip. Just before the closing bell, Al Derbani hurt Tuhu with yet another low kick then followed with a high kick for the knockdown to seal the fight. Al Derbani won a unanimous decision. Good match.

Light Welterweight Myanmar National Championship Tournament Semifinal: Ba Htoo Maung vs. Kyaw Zin Latt R3 2:07. All combat sports are brutal in many ways, but Lethwei or Burmese Boxing as it used to be called, surely takes the cake as the most brutal sport on the planet. In theory, it's probably most similar to muay thai, but apart from fighting with taped fists rather than gloves, the huge difference in the 9th limb, the headbutt. If you think Shibata was nasty, these guys will literally charge in with a combo that includes an all out noggin knocker, as Latt displayed here. Elbows are very popular here since it saves your gauzed fists, but Latt literally leads with the head with the same ferocity he leads with the elbow. The ref has a ton of leeway when you go down, ruling knockdowns far more conservatively than in GLORY or elsewhere, starting with Maung dropping Latt momentarily with both an elbow & a left hand counter that didn't elicit a count. Just before the end of the 1st, Maung did score a knockdown catching Latt off guard with a left jab. Latt came back strong in the 2nd, doing a nice job of mixing middle kicks or step knees with overhand rights. Latt dropped Maung with a left hook counter & then a big knee to the midsection, but somehow with Maung being put down twice within 10 seconds neither were scored knockdowns. Another reason Lethwei is known for its savagery is even the vaunted 12-6 elbows are legal, and not only did no one die from them, when Latt put Maung down with them just before the end of the 2nd, he still didn't even get credited with a knockdown! One of the reasons Latt was able to turn this fight around is Maung was just loading up too much, particularly with the right hand, while Latt was fighting a lot more fluidly, and recognizing when his opponent was going to swing big. Maung got his knees going in the 3rd, and began to take over, but Latt just fired up & started headbutting like a billy goat until he scored the KO. Good match.

IWKBF Australian Title: Steven Baldacchino vs. Elliot Glenister 5R UD

IWKBF World Heavyweight Title: Steve McKinnon vs. Chris Bradford 5R UD. Both fighters are old enough for Bellator, but McKinnon has continued to beat everyone you never heard of since his 0-2 stint in GLORY while Bradford has been relatively inactive in the ring with a bumb ankle, though he's continued to train & run his gym. McKinnon was the big favorite here, especially since Bradford more of the Muay Thai specialist of the two, and this was under K-1 rules so no elbows were allowed. That being said, it was way more competitive than expected or the scores would lead you to believe. It was totally a kicker vs. puncher match, with McKinnon being the far more consistent fighter, keeping a high workrate with his kicks, which he mixed up well. Bradford is a huge slugger, and he landed some bombs, with virtually every big shot that connected coming from his fists. McKinnon did a nice job of mixing both middle kicks with the left inside leg kick, which landed almost every time. Bradford was badly outvolumed in the first round, and each additional, but began to walk through McKinnon's kicks in the second & punish him with powerful punches against the ropes. This should have been a Bradford round (and I still gave it to him), but the thing he lacked all fight was consistency. He just didn't have the stamina to keep attacking, so he kind of let McKinnon off the hook, backing because McKinnon went back to throwing his kicks as soon as Bradford stopped attacking with punches & failing to make any kind of late push that would have guaranteed him the round. Bradford was tired & barely threw in the 3rd until he hurt McKinnon with an overhand right counter late in the round & flurried on the ropes, landing a nice uppercut. McKinnon tried to go back to his inside leg kick, and landed low, which I don't think was intentional, but was awfully convenient given he was under fire. Bradford took a series of kicks after this, finally throwing and landing an overhand right just before the bell. Stan the Man kept calling for Bradford to throw 6 or 8 punches instead of 1 or 2, and certainly that would have won him the match if he had the stamina to keep it up, but he did manage himself well, not wasting energy & making what he threw count. You really got the feeling that Bradford didn't feel like McKinnon could hurt him, and was content to block as much as he could to the head & body, eat the low kicks, and just wait for his moment to knock him out. You also felt that McKinnon knew as long as he kept firing, & managed to stay on his feet, he was going to win this fight. Bradford had a few brief moments of offense against the ropes in the 4th, but McKinnon was throwing the whole round while Bradford barely threw anything until he had McKinnon on the ropes. Bradford hurt McKinnon with a left hook early in the 5th, but McKinnon quickly came back with a high kick. Bradford was again inactive for much of the round, trying to finish strong, but missing, while McKinnon was still able to land as much as he did in the opening round, and just kept chipping away. I had it even going into the 5th, so for me this was a fight that Bradford could have won if he could have found a little more energy. McKinnon won a unanimous decision 48-47, 49-46, 49-46. Good match.

Dzianis Zuev vs. Vlad Tuinov 3R MD. Not sure what the judges were watching here, guess the scored coming forward & just missing. Zuev did a good job when he was kicking Vlad's legs, but mostly he was content to make it a boxing match with a far superior boxer, vs. Tuinov would just keep evading with lateral & head movement & landing the left hook. Zuev stole the last round with a couple good shots in the final 15 seconds, but otherwise he was thoroughly outmanuevered.
