@@TobbzzyNo it’s not as a fighter they don’t use Adrenaline as average people do. They learn to store it and use it with their steam and energy. I mean they do this so much after a while you just don’t have that same level as adrenaline from it as u normally would. It’s like smoking weed the first time you are just wrecked but if u keep smoking everyday or a lot you don’t get as high as you used too. The effects are just not what they once were. You almost don’t act right without it. Do u get what I’m saying? Might be a bad analogy.
Aside from the iconic synchronised punching they did, that bit at 2:36 when Takayama throws Don and knees him in the head was beautiful. Almost got him after that, but Don just wouldn’t let up
Saw this as a kid and it still never compares to anything, these men had serious honour and they put it all out there no hold barred. This is true MMA just 2 people proving their physical prowess.
Anyone else come here from watching it on YT shorts with Free Bird playing at full volume? Haha just me huh? Love Don Frye and his homeboy Dan Severn. Takiyama put on a warriors display though. Legendary fight
Amazing that the iconic image of the two men holding each other by the head while simultaneously battering each other is only a few seconds into the fight. The kind of battle you can only get from two consummate professionals who also happen to be two of the toughest men alive.
Well actually Dave, he came out looking like s*it but I get what you mean LOL. The real amazement here is that Don does not look the worse for wear really.
Creo que el americano tiene mejor preparado su cuerpo ante los golpes y el asiatico no. Por esa razon gano esta pelea.. tambien la falta de tecnicas a larga distancia hubiese dado un giro diferente a la pelea, pero se volvio mas un enfrentamiento de quien cae primero
Man Don Frye was always one of those guys who have extremely tough skin. You ever notice that some guys just have that abilities y to take severe hits & don’t really show too much damage. Almost like their skin is like an alligator skin. I’m not one of those guys unfortunately. I can run hard and get puffy red circles around my eyes 😂 sucks.
Showed this to my father in law, while he was watching wrestling. Look up to the TV, it's two dudes sitting criss cross slapping eachother, "the video im showing you is filled with testosterone, while this wrestling shit is just leaking estrogen."
Takayama doesn't even look like he's wearing his face. It seriously is like this weird uncanny valley of is it from the severe beating his face meat took, or is it a mask.
