Definitely a Hero's record, highly likely a K1 record. I can't remember one any quicker, although it is only early in the morning and I haven't had my skinny latte yet.

I just saw the fight. How would I describe it in one word? Awesome.

I would post the fight here but there are some people who disagree with posting fight clips on open forums, which is understandable, but it just sucks for you people who are missing out.

any chance of a link ????

Sorry mate, can't do it. Check your inbox, I just sent you an e-mail explaining why I cant do it to the address listed in your profile.

Does K1 sell DVD's like prideFC and UFC do? I sure would love to get my hands on some K1 dvd's.

Not in Australia, which is one of the main arguements that I have for being allowed to post fights on forums such as these, but that is another issue completely.

They are out there, however be prepared to shell out BIG BUCKS if you want official DVD's. I have purchased some before on-line and the have cost me around AUD$95.

The benefit of the official DVD is that they contain ALL fights in their entirety, rather than the dodgy pirated versions that you can pick up on E-bay etc which only have what was broadcast in the 2 hour timeslot in Japan, meaning that in a lot of cases you only get five or so fights with some of them cut down to 1 or 2 rounds, which sucks ass.

Check out the catalogue on-line at Budo videos:

The selection is OK and their service is great, the delivery only takes about 5 working days from the States. Bare in mind though, prices listed are in US$.

The fight was awesome before the bell even rang as they showed Kid's wife and sister.

Miyu Yamamoto (Kid's sister) in my opinion is one of the hottest women in Japan. I was dangling with danger one night as I tried to get my freak on with her in a bar in downtown Tokyo just after she broke up with Enson Inoue, who just happens to be one of the baddest men in Japan.

She told me I was cute, but she needs a man not a boy <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Kid's wife looks a little like Posh Spice ... without the malnutrition.

Thats the quickest I have ever seen.

The Kid just sprints out of corner and BOOM.

AWESOME !!!!!!!!

Oh, so you found the clip then? Good for you.

A lesson to all: Seek and you shall find.
