Still would like to see the rematch.

Masato likes to get fighters into extanges all the time...ANd they get caught alot as well.

Totally agree with you. And what is more Kyshenko did that stuff being a 20-years old kid with a tiny K-1 experience.

Folks, watch and compair fights Masato vs Zambidis and Kyshenko vs Zambidis to see the diffrence. No doubt Masato is one of the best fighters but Artur has much bigger potential.

It's "Kyokushin," not "KYoukushi."

Then how do you explain his win over Jay Hieron or his first win over Matt Hughes?

Machida does Shotokan, not Kyokushin. As for the knock out comment, talk to Rich Franklin about that one.

I don't remember anyone claiming Semmy to be a technical prodigy.

Masato and Kyshenko have totaly diffrient styles of fighting so to compare there fights dosen't render any conclusion. Kyshenko has great potential but still needs alot of work

Dude, it's only your opinion. Don't say it like the ultimate law of universe. As for me it's easy to compare these fighters. Just five criterias - heart, power, speed, stamina and technique.

Andy was able to ko zambidis while masato and Arthur were able to because they have diffrient styles. Styles Make fights thats all im saying. Im not trying to make what im saying law.

truth be told Id go GSP and Machida though Im sure there are others that I dont know of. Id rank Semmy up there with them though his success in mma has been limited. Chuck Liddel does Kempo which is a cousin to karate and his punching looks a lot like ours so I would have him on the list
