Id also buy it for a comeback/hope spot. 20 min in. Double down. Feed up into tired sluggish strikes. Both guys start to rally through the exhaustion. Etc

But you can be out there doing that after 7 min or whatever

Even in ufc, the stand and trade isn’t so contrived. Yes there’s an agreement to wing punches, but—other than on maybe very rare occurrences—is one guy waiting for the other guy to punch him with his chin out. It’s just throwing caution to the wind where they are going back and forth. I can recall a brawl or two where there’s a “bring it” moment, but that ends after one punch lands because they don’t want to get smashed clean in the jaw anymore.

Even Frye and Takayama were staying in the pocket with the intent to finish the fight. They were furiously trading licks trying to knock the other guy out. They weren’t hitting a still target only to become a still targe themselves and wait to get it.

They were definitely still targets. Absolutely 0 head movement. But its basically just those 2 that ever did something THAT crazy.

So good though. There's a million things they couldve done but they chose to ignore all of them and just become mindless murder hobos.

I remember one of the things Shibata did that I can still like (I used to like the stiff headbutts until he ended his career with them) is he would take an Indy kick, get pissed off, then start work back to his feet, daring his opponent to kick him. When he got back to his feet, one more dare. He'd catch the leg and knock the piss out of them.
Also, the best pissing match is Ishii and Makabe, just lariating each other like god damned Rams. As for actual chop wars, it was only done well one time... |

I’ve been meaning to watch more of Don Frye’s wrestling career. YouTube seems to generate more from his fights. Any recommendations?

Thanks for that recommendation. I saw that on his Cage Match listing from 2003 or something and thought it might be worth a watch.
