mma's hardest fight to watch? (most brutal)

Probably this:

and of course:

Yoshida vs Thompson (when Yoshida is passed out on the outside of the ring and the ref drags him back to fight)
Murilo Ninja vs Daijiro Matsui
Crocop vs Yoshida
Semmy Schilt vs Kharitonov
Wanderlei vs Kondo
Shogun vs Rampage

 

Igor Vovchanchyn vs Enson Inoue takes the cake. Enson came closer to dying in the Pride ring than anyone else. He had so much brain swelling that his balance and coordination didn't return to normal for over a month.

 

VIDS. anyway i love the brutal fights

 

then your one sadisti ****

 

I loved every second of CroCop vs Yoshida, all those breaks Yoshida has been given by the Pride refs coming back to haunt him, he had something like 15 seconds to recover after the last leg kick before the ref finally called it; its like watching Musashi get KO'd in K1.

 

I remember seeing one with Sakuraba, I think he ended up winning the fight but he took way too many shots.

 

tank abbot's ko of matua comes to my mind. i was young then and never saw muscles stiffen up like that after a punch.

 

This was the fight, Sakuraba vs Smirnovas.. Just a taste of what went on, Sakuraba took many shots to the head, he did come back and win but it seemed like the refs would have let him die in there before they would let him lose.

Shogun vs Rampage had me nearly crying for poor Rampage.

 

1# Arona vs Sakuraba
2# Vovchanchyn vs Inoue
3# Yoshida vs Thompson

Main reason why these fights are hard to watch was poor referee

 

C'mon nothing compares to Don Frye vs Thompson. Thompson is hitting Don for about 3 solid minutes until the ref steps.

Don Frye vs Takayama hands down,

that was some brutal brutal stuff

 

semmy vs. sergi khotonov........he isolated his arms then singled out an eye and hammer fisted it until his orbital bone was damn near showin. and i cant remember seeing semmy back in the white pride ring after that. tha tank abbot k.o was a brutal k.o but it wasnt a brutal beating. kinda like mirko getting kicked out by gabreil gonzaga and sitting on his own feet.

 

****** ****ING JAPPIE REF-AWARD!! Refs like that should be pounded, seriously! :twisted:

He's like: "Wait, WAIT! Just let me drag him outta....the ropes....there! No, no, wait, wait! Hmmm.. Okay... now! Keep...caving his head in.. I'll watch."
