Super bummed to see Jiri get knocked out. He just got careless, didn't protect himself, boom, lights out.

i'm glad i went back to sleep instead of watching the middle portion of this card because it sounds like the mid-2000s dynamite style unwatchable disaster that it looked like on paper with the exception of official cool guys takeru and andy souwer

Presented in DTS ES 6.1 where available.
Despite the terrible main event, Dynamite 2008 is one of my all time favorite cards.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEQuUuDkgFg

Some highlights:

Alistair Overeem vs Badr Hari - K1 rules - Hari had just got stripped for is belt after stomping and punching a downed opponent (sounds familiar?)
Melvin Manhoef vs Mark Hunt - MMA rules - Manhoef stepped in to fight Mark Hunt on one days notice after LeBanner didn't show up (sounds familiar?)
Musashi vs Gegard Mousasi - K1 rules - Great to see fighters matched up only based on their names.
Sapp vs Kinniku Mantaro - MMA rules - Bob Sapp fights a fictional anime character
Tatsuya Kawajiri vs Kozo Takeda - K1 rules - The crusher makes his K1 debut fighting a kickboxer at the end of his career. Shortly later K-1 tried to get Albert Kraus to literally murder Takeda at his retirement match.

a) man, that was an awesome night, and b) in hindsight I really appreciate how the commentators are talking endlessly about Hari's incredible recovery skills and aggression as he's glassily getting knocked out

Blew their budget on getting him, Sapp, and Akebono, then remembered they needed belts

Too bad the WWE doesn't use the big gold belt anymore because I would love to see Fedor vs Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania in a title unification bout

No -- he's 19 and had some bright spots on the ground with Kron. He seemed outsized and couldn't overcome that range issue like Kid might.

I'd say watch Yamamoto vs Gracie, all 3 GP fights, & Andy Souwer's MMA debut.

If you want a laugh at terrible MMA then definitely Gabi Garcia's debut, but stay away from Sapp vs Akebono which seemed to last forever due to constant stoppages. Someone claimed on Twitter that Akebono had been training with Takeshi Caesar, who was the ref for that fight. No idea if that was true but it's the only interesting thing about that contest.

So essentially no, not really but some individual fights were enjoyable.

Lei'D Tapa missed with the glove touch.

Not a good sign for the odds of her landing a punch even if she wasn't dog poo poo.

Google says he fights at 145 so yeah he did pretty well with such a size discrepancy. Also, lol at Kron fighting someone two weight classes below him. Gracie Jiu Jitsu is back!

The Gracies are the undisputed kings of B-League shadiness. Fedor has nothing on them.

loving exactly. He walked through a few sub attempts like they weren't there. I feel like he was, if not backing Gracie up or hurting him, threatening and/or frustrating Gracie a bit with his strikes, too, which suggests to me that Kid Jr. may have some good power.

That's his nickname, by the way. Kid Jr. Because I say so. :frogc00l:

Also, Kron's striking was terrible. I counted at least 2 hooks where he was spinning like a ballerina on one foot. It was a great night for Japanese MMA is what I'm saying.

Good to know Fedor can still take it to a slightly cogent heavy bag.
