I was really pissed off when watching the K1, I thought ray sefo looked class against musashi and was far better fighter, also he is much more exciting to watch, has anyone ever seen the square up between him and mark hunt?? where they both taking pot shots and letting each other have a punch? it was probably one of the most exciting fights ive seen. I would love to have seen sefo go through, you can just tell hes a tough fighter but I must admit sometimes he messes about and lacks commitment, but I think he has the ability to win and he looked alot better than last year.
Then when Botha fought le Banner in the prelims I just think le banner has huge knockout power he is like a train coming forward sometimes, remember when k1 met pride and he knocked out don frye with a punch he was like a sack of potatoes going down, cant beleive he gave in to botha, who incidentally fought pretty well against bonjasky in the semis of the k1 finals.
Gotta say the biggest dissapointment is that QJ didnt knockout wanderlai, I know they are both top class and silva is a real animal, you can see it in him but I would have been so happy if qj would have won, you can see they have a healthy respect for each other this fight the square up was excellent though. Maybe next year
Thing im getting to is all these fighters when I watch them have a really exciting edge to them, you know something crazy is coming up and its exciting to watch. Some fights are just boring as fuk, sometimes specially when I have been on eca my heart is pounding when watching these fighters and others but those are just 3 that really stand out for me, I got about every pride on dvd and alot of ufc, kotc and K1. You just cannot beat the excitment of watching this stuff, I have tried to get mates locally watching it, and if there is no knockouts they cant appreciate the jj stuff and grappling, so im left to talking about it here. So next year would like to see Ray Sefo K1 champ, QJ middleweight Champ Pride, and Randy is still the man for UFC i think, would like to see Jens Pulver again, exciting fighter, where has he gone? was lookin at his fight record seems he hasnt been fighting??
peace
