thank you for the continued interest. i didn't have a problem with the leg grab, it was legal. but so were the chokes and knees. why the heck would i want to "push him off" when i have him locked in a legal sub?
somewhat agreed, but i had to agree to some silly rules to get them to agree to the fight. i wanted an old school Vale Tudo fight, but they demanded special rules to protect their fighter. they asked for no groundfighting (because i had a lot more jiujitsu than him and it would have made for a short fight) and asked to ban kicks (kicks were stictly defined as striking with shin or foot, knees were OK.)
its fair to say that he was aware of this, as he was the first one to start throwing the knees - several nasty shots straight to the groin as soon as he started losing. which was fine - groin strikes were legal. i wish i had remembered to ask for a rule against that
the only actual rules violatons in the fight was Kimbo's illegal Gnp (breaking a rule they had asked for!) and the repeated interference by his crew rescuing him every time i was trying to finish him off.
i agree completely, and if you (the fans) keep asking for it, they'll have to make it happen. i plan to beat kimbo the same way i beat him the first time...by training harder than he does. he has improved a lot since then, so it may take me 3-4 minutes to lock in a solid sub instead of the 45 seconds it took me the the first time
