gvd said...: That went from an INCREDIBLY boring fight to a great ground game by gracie. The best part of the fight has to be gracie trying to choke out funaki with his own arm LOL; March 10, 2008 3:49 AM

It's so deep in their culture not only to understand combat, but to have honor and respect along with it.; March 10, 2008 9:57 AM
Anonymous said...: lol seriously, the gracies really need to get off their family name, realise they are human just like the rest of us, and start working out for real. The ref almost killed the japonese fighter, and really an unimpressive fight. my honest opinion. thanks for posting!; March 10, 2008 12:18 PM

Anonymous said...: i get pissed off when the UFC crowd boos after 30 seconds of non animal rage swinging for the fences fighting, but this fight was pushing into the boundries of where I would have wanted to start to yell "do something!"; March 10, 2008 6:27 PM
Sam Freedom said...: That was not a boring fight at all. That was awesome! If it was "boring" or uneventful, the ref would have stopped them and returned them to center but that was an incredible chess match in the corner between two very skilled fighters! It was like a Boa and a Mongoose wrapped in a clinch, each one looking for, and trying to create, openings. To action fans, it might look boring... to hardcore MMA fans, I would think this was enjoyable (except for, as noted, the crappy camerawork!); March 10, 2008 8:59 PM
LMW87@Sherdog said...: this video was worth it just for the pre-fight.

that's one of the loudest crowd reactions i've ever heard, when funaki made his entrance.

great find, thanks for posting; March 10, 2008 9:05 PM
csreeves said...: Wow...MMA camera work has come a LONG way. You know, like, not turning the ONE camera you have on the fight AWAY from the fighters when someone gets full mount to get a shot of the excited/concerned cornermen.

I wonder if the current UFC let fighters stay in the clinch until they "worked it out" is even possible when you have such short rounds compared to the old days? The clinch in this video seemed like a chess match with dynamite for pieces...some of the clinches I see in today's UFC looks like an agreed resting period.; March 12, 2008 3:04 AM
Anonymous said...: That was really lame and boring. Most of you guys will disagree and say it's true fighting when fighers don't get stood up for laying or clinching without action because it's a "stalemate" and that fighters should be able to resolve that. But I think it was just boring. And I bet the rest of you don't want to be honest enough to say you watched a 10 minute clip of 2 men hugging each other.; March 15, 2008 4:49 AM
