might as well create a thread about him... someone else was talking about manhoef's loss vs donk sik as if it was an indication of "lack of talent"...to lose against a guy like this... but , many people seem to forget that Dong sik did what liddell couldn't do against jackson... that's right...he went the distance...yes , he lost the decision...but it's not like it was a piece of cake for Jackson either... Here are his two latest fights... VS Zelg http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/dong+sik+yoon/video/x2zzmr_zelg-galesic-vs-yoon-dong-sik_sport Vs manhoef http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/dong+sik+yoon/video/x260l0_melvin-manhoef-vs-yoon-dong-sik_sport
I think a lot of people were underestimating Yoon due to PRIDE feeding him to the wolves so quickly. Dude is a beast.
also , when he first fought in pride , he had no mma experience at all. He's justa pure judoka. today , you can see that he still sticks to his judo technic but he's more confident and he's more comfortable when an opponent is attacking him with strikes... he's got a big heart.
The guys got heart and he can take a beating I remember watching him against Saku and figuring he would never come back but he proved me wrong. He could be a star in Hero's the guy never got a break in Pride kinda like what Miyata has been through the guys gets a win then they put against someone with much more experience then him.
Manhoef brutalised his eyeball.The guys eye was completely closed and was just a swollen slit.He sure as hell can take licks thats for dam sure.
He's gotten better, and is apparantly money against European strikers with no ground game, but he still isn't really a threat to top 10 guys. With that said, he is a fun guy to cheer for, but not really that good compared to top level guys.
