The welterweight tournament is exactly why counter-fighters will ALWAYS dominate the striking arts. Aggressive, forward-moving volume strikers can do well, but in boxing, Muay Thai, and kickboxing at their peak level, it's always the guy that counters his way to victory. There are always shockers and surprises - it's the nature of combat sports - but the general trend has always been and will always be in favour of the slick and the savvy. CONGRATS TO HOLZKEN!!!!
Still gotta respect the heart from anyone that goes Super Saiyan in the last few seconds.
Also quite impressed with Aert's performance. Makes me think of Mark Hunt pushing his hardest at 39. K-1 champs (minus Overeem) are the heroes and legends of combat sports.
Ghita, I apologize for underestimating you. You still kick ass, even with that beer gut and moobs.
