One of the biggest bandwagons ever created for a fighting style ever in such a short time, only AFTER a major HOF MMA fighter stated it was his style.

That's because BRIG. (Bas Rutten is God)
Hug left Kyokushin to join Seidokaikan, a KK offshoot that didn't give a crap about fighting pro (and later founded K1) He wasn't the first and wasn't the last. Oyama's declaration to prevent KK from being taken in a for-profit direction came back to bite him in the ass later on.
