Jungle Fight 1 took place in Ariau Amazon Towers Convention Center, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil back on September 13, 2003.
Bonnar is no daiju takase
I would punch the ref… I’m not serious but that was still a pretty lame stoppage. Stopping the fight after he’s landing some heavy knees to the head and seemingly turning the tide of the fight in his favor…
Bonner can take a s*** kicking and just won’t go down.
Silva to win on Saturday, rd 2 by doctor stoppage
WTF. Time-out for a bloody nose? Anyway, Bonnar is a brute, but just too slow.
Machida running backwards back in the day already..
Lame. Just as Bonnar actually did some good the ref stops the fight because of bleeding? Are we sure that was a fight ref and not a gymnastics judge? Dumb.
Bonner was trying to come back. He didnt want to quit
Bonnar wasn’t doing anything effectively to even win that fight so it’s moot anyway
I think Dennyr is spot on. Although Anderson is a specimen. We may see the first TKO or submission of Bonnar’s career.
It is stupid for an MMA fighter to stand up with a Karate practitioner in a stand up match…. Karate Practitioner train for so many years…straight very quick punches.. in and out quick…sudden… MMA fighter can never reach that level of a Karate practitioner.
The main reason Lyoto is effective is his takedown defense and footwork. He is rare breed. In earlier days of the UFC karate guys were man handled. So I don’t agree with Twana.
Twana, Lyoto is now an mma prac. Idiot. Lol. It’s not UKC, it’s UFC.
@ Reallynow
Dude, you sir are an idiot. What Twana just said is absolutely correct.
In this situation, Bonnar had nothing to bring to the table, his best bet was to try and wrestle him to the ground and G&P. Lyoto’s stand-up is top notch, been in Karate since since sperm. He was completely outclassed in the stand-up game, hence why Twana was saying, why would he try?
Don’t call people idiots when you clearly have no idea what people are saying.
no twanas an idioit and your a douche sir.
Does nobody know bonnar is a tkd black belt, i believe since he was real young as well, bonnar i think may have won that fight had if it wasnt in brah-zil
neo is correct. bonnar is a tkd bb. hes just slow. did seem as tho he was turning the tide
headbutt caused the cut
besides machidas karate he trained sumo thats why hes so hard to get a hold of and even if he was takin down he still got a black belt in bjj so no bonner wouldnt have won anywhere
