Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, a great fighter who fought against the best around the globe, and, in my opinion, doesn't get that great recognition that other fighters get.
@@mojo5093 No he doesn't. I've never heard any mainstream guys talk about him......they always talk about the dutch guys from the 80s who went over and fought the Thai & Japanese Stadium Champs....... This is probably due to the fact that Benny would negotiate to throw out things like "elbow or knee contact" ......sometimes even LOWKICKS!!! Now I understand why he probably did this but he was not as important as some later fighters in breaking into the big Thai Stadium matches.....that credit goes to Ramone Dekkers and Kaman......they ate all the elbows and knees EVERY time. Meaning, Benny fought a few Muay Thai rules fights, but more often did not.
Leman Kurtz - yeah, you've got a point there compared to the dutch guys, he's almost forgotten or not given the recognition he deserves - so looks like i kinda gotta do some fancy back peddling :D
@@mojo5093 I love Benny's style.....but you gotta admit, Ramone Dekkers went to the big Thai stadiums and beat them at their own game.....Kaman also had some incredible wins......check out some of his early K-1 style fights with Ernesto Hoost!!!
Señor BENNY , permitame felicitarlo por su excelente y limpia trayectoria en esa disciplina que usted tan dignamente desempeño y que aun desarrolla enseñando a personas , cada ves que veo sus combates más lo admiro y quiero expresarle mis respetos a usted como persona y ese gran espíritu de competencia que posees . Que Dios lo siga bendiciendo a usted y a su familia.. Att . General de brig. (r), fard, De República Dominicana.
My eyes are open now. I have more appreciation for Benny. As a younger man i was " yeah Benny , get em Benny" older me sees the technician, the nerve hits and the tsunami of purpose. Love me some Benny and his brother
Benny would have been a great UFC fighter. I don’t know how good his grappling skills were , but with his supreme ring knowledge he would have learned quickly. The best full contact fighter the world has ever seen.
Benny is the most underrated fighter in history. Personally, I have him ahead of all the movie guys like Bruce Lee, Van Damme, segal etc. He and Chuck are the real deals and just such good dudes.
A true legend of the martial arts world. The first black belt magazine I bought had Mr. Urquidez on the cover with an article on leg kicking & how he applied them in his fights. I was a blue belt in WTF Taekwondo then & that was around 28 years ago, and the journey in martial arts had begun & it has not stopped yet. I still have a copy of training & fighting skills at home, didn't lose that one, lost your videos though. Thanks for sharing your skills & your memories of your fights that we never got to see or had access to in Australia. You are a martial arts & kickboxing legend
Agreed 100%. But those that KNOW...know about Benny. He's the real was and still is the real deal. Very gracious to martial arts movie stars like Jackie Chan. Willing to be the one to die. When clearly WE know Benny would have destroyed Chan in a ring. :) With EASE. Benny was a word champion. A fighter. One of the best. W/o RU-vid we'd never have seen this fight. I'd give Benny more respect than Bruce Lee even. As Bruce was a "martial artist/movie star" not an ex-pro fighter. Didn't even compete yet talked a lot about "effective striking and economy of movement". He was never tested.
I love how it always looks like he is having a good time. He always is calm, relaxed and smiling. Tough opponent, Benny nailed him with a lot of solid blows that knocked him back…great fight
Missed your last seminar in Seattle but I am definitely a fan of your fighting and I will be at the next one. That jumping spinning back kick is epic. Great fight. #LEGEND
Qué honor ver estos documentos. Uno de mis grandes ídolos enfrentando otros peleadores en sus otros estilos. Pero el tiempo pasa tan rápido y nuestros maestros ya no son los que se ven en estos vídeos. OSS
Почему старые бои зрелишнее, чем нынешние?! Просто вышли и зарубились. Скромно без фанфар, попезности, прожекторов, пара, музыки и понтов дешовых, скромно и деловито!
Learning to control your body anyone can do weather it is fighting dancing tennis whatever control your emotions your composure is the hard part master this and you will master life grasshopper lol
If I got in a fight and someone hit me or take me down I become super angry.How come the jet always act like nothing happened even if someone hit him hard?? Please answer me how I can be that calm??
