Like a hockey brawl, except it's more intense and without all that hockey padding. Legendary fight between former UFC fighter Don Frye and Japanese combat legend Yoshihiro Takayama.

In my old neighborhood (Yoyogi-Uehara, Tokyo) Yoshihiro Takayama just lived down the street from me. The first time I saw him I had no idea who he was (I'm not a big fight fan), but I did think "WOW, that guy is huge!!!". Finally, my girlfriend saw him and told me who he was. He would walk around the neighborhood, especially to and from 7-11. He seemed like a nice guy he would smile and say "good morning" or "Hi" if he saw me or other locals.
However, he is in a horrible condition! He can barely walk, he limps along and grimaces from pain. Everything on his body seems to move slowly. I saw him get into a car one time, it obviously was excruciatingly painful for him to bend and twist to get into the car. I can't imagine what he must do to get ready for a fight. He must load every inch of his body with Cortisone just to get through the fight. I really felt sorry for him.
I remember watching don frye in the early ufc's and it was great to see him, but this fight is an example of what can be wrong with fighting sports. Frye can't really compete with the well rounded fighters today, nor can the other guy.
They do have heart, and really big cojones though. However, this is a hocky fight, not really an exposition of skill, so I won't vote for it. Or should I? I mean I did comment. I'm conflicted.
Nice sift.
