Early Matt Hughes fight. Interestingly, doesn't seem like he's improved his striking that much since then... http://youtube.com/watch?v=vzjJu519YMQ There are some fights I love due to their subtlety of technique, or the display of athleticism by their participants. This isn't one of those. This fight was about who had the largest pair of, um, fists. Don Frye vs. Yoshihiro Takayama: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wgAp0jcpYYc&feature=related
First fight between Caol Uno and Rumina Sato. Good back-and-forth stuff: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bP44mg1YW0E&feature=related [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XSZ1uGchvg&NR=1"]YouTube[/ame] Short little old-school fight between Oleg Taktarov and Renzo Gracie. Beware the upkick! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkSorVD_k4M"]YouTube[/ame] And sticking with the theme of old-school Tak fights, here he is in UFC 6 vs. Tank Abbott. The fight's clipped for time, and believe me, that's a welcome feature: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHNC9vXCohE"]YouTube[/ame]
Pancrase! Now: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9QgcXtCSlBk&feature=related http://youtube.com/watch?v=4b3Kn3gMP-E&feature=related http://youtube.com/watch?v=pDkeOdjX8n8&feature=related And then: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MR-2yN3jLYI&feature=related You know, I kinda miss the old Pancrase. The point deductions, the palm strikes, the free-for-all grappling... but mostly the giant padded boots. Life's more fun with giant padded boots.

More Womens MMA Earlier this year there was a trial for a UK womens team for a new up anc coming reality TV show. Rosi Sexton was the coach along with Karl Tanswell. Heres the vids of the try outs. The final team has not been annouced yet. http://www.cagefilm.com/video/181/Ultimate-Womens-Combat-UK-trials-1 part 1-7. Follow the link for the rest.
Early Pancrase match: Maurice Smith dons the gloves and is in full-on kickboxer mode against Masakatsu Funaki. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwkX0YKHuMM&feature=related"]YouTube - Masakatsu Funaki vs Maurice Smith[/ame]
Some action from ZST. I believe their rules don't allow for ground-and-pound to the head, you can't close your guard, and if you don't want to wear gloves, you have to use open-hand strikes to the head. First, a Twister submission: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSw4ztPdTu4&feature=related"]YouTube - Rare MMA Submission via Twister[/ame] Here's a Crucifix neck crank sub: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM5UMMAzeMQ"]YouTube - MMA Submission via Crucifix[/ame] And for some novelty, an MMA tag match: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyZj9YD93G4"]YouTube - Hideo Tokoro and Shuichiro Katsumura vs. Remgijis Morkevicius and Erikas Petratis Part 1[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UaWDiYWbEQ&feature=related"]YouTube - Hideo Tokoro and Shuichiro Katsumura vs. Remgijis Morkevicius and Erikas Petratis Part 2[/ame]
