View Full Version : Is there any Kyokushin karateka in Pride? Street Dweller 05-07-2006, 03:51 AM I'm not aware of any, does anyone know? and if so, how do they fare? stalvl 05-07-2006, 08:29 AM I guess only one in pride I forgot his name with 4-2-0 record stalvl 05-07-2006, 08:29 AM ruyuta Noji or something like that daisukey 05-07-2006, 08:45 AM He fight in pancrase(sp) correct? and also Senpai Yoshinori Ikeda he fought "Tasmanian Devil" in ichigeki event in MMA rule. He won with KO. He recently fought Tokoro from Hero's(?) and he lost by KO. http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4813/ikeda015ze.jpg Andy 68 05-07-2006, 07:31 PM There is Lyoto- Machida, very strong! He is a shotokan karateka. Its father is japanese ( VII dan karate shotokan), the mother is brazilian. He have a record of 7 match: 7 win. He have winner also the great Sam Greco (split decision) 22.5.2004 and B.J.Penn (unanimous decision) 26.3.2005. OSU! http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?fighterID=7513 Martin H 05-07-2006, 08:05 PM Semmy Schilt is ashihara karate. Not kyokushin but about as close as you can get. Apart from being the current k-1 kickboxing champ, he is also a pride veteran with a 4-3-0 record in pride. http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?fighterid=467 Masaaki Satake started out as Seidokaikan knockdown karate fighter in k-1 before he switched to Pride for a better deal. Kyokushin555 05-08-2006, 12:04 AM Andy Hug was also in K-1, and he practiced Kyokushin karate. Im not sure if he was in Pride though? Martin H 05-08-2006, 05:06 PM powerof0ne. I split your post and my reply to a new thread. it is in the "Other karate styles that split from Kyokushin" forum. mma99 06-02-2006, 08:45 AM Bas Rutten holds a 5th Degree Black Belt in Kyokushin but he tested for his 2nd degree...(the 5th degree was offered to him when he smoked some fighter I forgot who it was...in training) Martin H 06-02-2006, 10:52 AM Has Bas competed in pride? He was commentator there a while ago, but I dont think he ever competed there. As far as I know he has only competed in pancrase and ufc (where he will make a comback in a few weeks). http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?fighterID=214 (not that sherdog is always that relieable, but they usualy have a good grip on pride fight record. mma99 06-03-2006, 10:39 AM well the thread starter asked if there are any kyokushin karateka in Pride... so since Bas is a commentator for Pride...he is technically in Pride... You are right though he has not competed in Pride... He is fighting Kimo in July under WFA...not UFC...it will be interesting to see how he does though...hope he fights in Pride eventually! OSU! powerof0ne 06-04-2006, 07:40 AM I will be very shocked if Bas doesn't beat Kimo. xit2nowhere 06-08-2006, 11:28 AM Sorry, wrong topic. mma99 06-10-2006, 01:37 PM EDIT: wrong forum should've been in kyokushin fighters in UFC... mma99 06-10-2006, 01:41 PM I will be very shocked if Bas doesn't beat Kimo. As will I...anything can happen in MMA though that is why I love it! Hopefully Bas doesn't take Kimo lightly and under estimate him! I want Bas to fight Wanderlei Silva or atleast have Rickson Gracie come out of retirement and honor Bas's challenge to him...that would be the fight event of all time...in my opinion! powerof0ne 06-10-2006, 07:23 PM Unfortunately I think the only way Bas could beat Wanderlei is by submission, not by strikes. I respect Bas a lot and I personally think he has the best style in mma but that doesn't mean he's the best fighter. Against Rickson, umm...Bas would have to be lucky and that's only if the rumours are true that Rickson will ever fight again. Hopefull if/when Rickson does come out of retirement that he fights somebody decent. p.s. yes, I know Wanderlei is also a black belt in bjj..but I think Bas could out grapple him. feels 06-20-2006, 01:59 AM Bas Rutten has a black belt in Kyokushin, but I wouldn't necessarily say that he is a representative of Kyokushin Karate. He's trained in many different styles. Ryuta Noji (who placed in the Top 8 of the 7th World Tournament) left Kyokushinkaikan and fights in the Pancrase promotion, but he doesn't fight very frequently and doesn't win all his matches to be considered a top contender for larger promotions. Yoshinori Ikeda has fought in a few MMA matches. Recently, he lost by triangle choke to Hideo Tokoro in K-1 Heros. I don't know how much of a name that he's made for himself in actual karate competition, however. But he would seem very C-level for karate and MMA if we haven't heard much from him. daisukey 06-20-2006, 04:39 AM Osu! Senpai Ikeda Yoshihiro was in the Japanese team in the 2002 Brazil world cup. Although I have not seen his fights many times but I hear he is quite known in kyokushin Japan. Owari 08-17-2006, 04:14 AM masaki satake, he hasn't fought lately though Shura 08-17-2006, 10:39 PM Satake retired from fighting. He now runs his own karate dojo. |
