Big Bob Sapp

Re: Big Bob Sapp

Besides K-1, Bob Sapp also fights in "Pride Fighting Championship." Pride is fought at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. It has similar rules to the UFC with a few differences and is fought in a ring not a cage. Elbows are not allowed in Pride and are in the UFC and kicking/ kneeing on the ground is legal in Pride while it isn't in the UFC.

I thought you could knee on the ground in the UFC, just not when your opponent is on all fours?

Re: Big Bob Sapp

in UFC you can knee on the ground just not to the top of the head

Re: Big Bob Sapp

I watched his K1 fight once.. and he was massive well over 350lbs and ripped too..fought this dude who was at least 180-200lbs and he got his ass kicked.. can't move, very slow, but if he hits you once hard ..its goodnight for you.

Mike Tyson and him were set to go at it .. but it fell apart shortly after. I know with the speed Tyson has or I should say "had" he would eat Sapp alive.

I disagree. I think Tyson would stand right in front of him and want to slug it out. Tyson hasn't been a "mobile" boxer in years. Look at the Lewis fight and see that he stands in basicly one spot and turns while Lewis sticks him over and over again. That said, I don't see anything different in a fight with Sapp. Standing toe to toe with him is his game, he would club Tyson to death...

First round tko......

Side Note- The rumor of Joe Rogan and Wesley Snipes fighting in a celebrity MMA/UFC match has surfaced again. I don't know that anybody should buy into it at this point but the rumor has been popping up for right around 6 months now...

That would be fun to watch...

Re: Big Bob Sapp

sapp's prob is in pride in a grand prix tourney he usually only gets one fight because he is so gassed or breaks his hands with those flailing punches he cant continue

he is a force to be reconed with in the first 4-5 minutes after that he he can barely move.

remeber crocop made bob crawl around like a beat down dog in pride and he is giving up well more than 100# to bob.

he is a big draw just because he throws big bombs like getting hit with a log. a skilled fighter chops him down with leg kicks and when his gaurd is down and he is winded they finish the beast

Re: Big Bob Sapp

Bob Sapp's fights looked too easy from that clip. He outweighed everyone by over 150lbs. I guess in K-1 there are no weight classes? I wasn't impressed. No skills just fighting like a guy from the jungle!!!

Re: Big Bob Sapp

I also saw a vid of him talking trash to Mike Tyson, looked like some put on WWE style shit. He's a big bastard but like everyone was saying, no wind and no skills.
