@allan_cheapshot During the Inokism days of New Japan where pro wrestling intersected quite regularly with MMA. Sapp’s run lasted 66 days, including a defense against Shinsuke Nakamura, before forfeiting the title following a TKO loss to Kazuyuki Fujita at a K-1 event.
@allan_cheapshot Gotta give it to Bob. Put the guy down nice and flat, didn't plant him on his head/neck.
