the Kumite was pretty lame


I mean if it wasnt for Chong Li it would have been pretty easy for a skilled fighter

I agree.....Most of the fighting came across like All Star Wrestling type of fighting rather than real competition fighting. The big guys walked around like big tanks with little to no form what so ever. Most of the smaller guys seemed to have mostly one style to draw from. In reality I think it would have gotten boring pretty fast

yeah but mma gets boring pretty fast , they always end up curled up locked together on the floor

Yeah, we know in today's world none of that crap would really work. Guys jumping around like a monkey, high-flying roundhouse kicks, moves that take forever to execute. A skilled wrestler with some submissions would come in and destroy all of these guys. Imagine how hard it would be to avoid takedowns - if you give up too much ground you would run out of mat, and falling off is an automatic loss!

I'd like to see Yuri Boyka against those clowns, it would be brutal. 😇

Chong Li wasn't that skilled he got hit quite a bit an mostly used underhanded tactics to win.

The sumo guy would have wrecked him and I doubt he would have beaten the kickboxer guy either.
