8/19/2004: Interesting battle

Undertoad · 08-19-2004, 03:15 PM

I had resisted posting this one but we are light on images these days -- we always are, in the deep of August. There's just something about it you know?

Anyhoo, the official caption said Rick Roufus, left, delivers a blow to the body of Taro Akebono of Japan during the third round of the K-1 Battle of Bellagio III at Bellagio in Las Vegas. Roufus won the fight by a unanimous decision.

So the little guy beat the ex-sumo wrestler. Cool. See, sometimes the little guy wins. But wait, what is "K-1"??

K-1 is a combat sport that combines standup techniques from Muay Thai, Karate, Kickboxing and traditional boxing among others. The recently new formed division called K-1 MMA promotes fights based on MMA rules where techniques from grappling sports such a Wrestling and Brazilian jiu jitsu are permited as well.

Um ok.

Pearcie (AUS) · 08-19-2004, 06:22 PM

Hehehe, yeah that's the one

Akebono's out of his element. Sumos don't have the killer instinct.

You need more material? Do you have Bathtime in Thailand?

I'll send it if you will tell me how. I only see links to the server
