I always wondered if any more footage of that exists than just that. Always wanted to see a good shot of him swan diving into the crowd.
If you're talking about a different camera angle, I can't help you; the broadcast switches over to Maeda's unconscious husk just as Krazy Horse is losing his balance on the rope. He survived his journey into mystery, however, as there's a few minutes of him running back from the entrance ramp, somersaulting into the ring, backflipping off the ropes, and groping the Asian girl trying to present him with a trophy, probably while having visions of being locked in a car.

Edit: This could go in the grappling thread too. For the uninitiated that's a pretty high level sweep hit absolutely perfectly against an extremely high level grappler on the highest stage possible.

It's harder to duck under punches from the literal strongest man in the world, his arms are bigger and stronger than a puny boxer.

He passes into a different position where he can (hopefully) work different attacks. One candidate would be a kneebar.

He passed his opponent's guard succesfully, what's your issue? :bahgawd: would approve of unconventional offense.

I think a kneebar from that position seems like a stretch.

Does anyone know how the fight actually continued after that?

Count Roland
Oct 6, 2013

The guy on top would typically (in my experience) try to go for mount or side control. A kneebar is definitely possibly though, along with a toe hold, and you can easily* chain the two together.

I haven't watched the fight but I bet the guy kept his backwards mount for about half a second before getting tossed away.

I've seen that clip so many times and each time I'm still amazed by how fast he is and how smooth his transitions are. Granted he's on another level athletically compared to most of the people there, but as far as I know that's a legitimate tourney and I assume he's competing in the equivalent of the advanced division.

I've seen the rolling calf-slicer in match 6 from the bottom before but hitting it from standing is kind of insane.

In summary, Genki Sudo owns.

Mousasi's chin is pretty impressive, he no-sells that kick and it is flush.

It's a cool vid, but I felt like it was kind of a dick move to come out to a tournament with no one on his level. He's not running game on top competitors he's running game on scrubs.

It was an advanced-level open tournament and he was only a brown belt at the time.
