Rani hit some nice leg-kicks, a nice body kick, a nice head-kick (Which was followed up with a nice flurry), a nice counter, some wild strikes that connect, a nice uppercut, nice shot by Yahya after that wild flurry in the first, Superman punch connects, too bad that Rani is a dumbshit, Another wild flurry (Shots do connect, and yes, Kid's in there throwing wild, too), holy shit, someone pinch me, Rani is actually utilizing dirty boxing. Round over. Oooh, that dude in the middle of those 2 chicks is, like, so the pimp daddy. Wild flurry connects, Rani, do not match power. whoa, wild flurry and Rani unleashes 2 nice uppercuts, nice shot after eating a ton of shots, nice highkick, nice legkick, nice highkick, nice legkick.
Either Kid Yamamoto looked pretty meh, or Rani Yahya is making a Frank Shamrock-like improvement.
Also, kid was sloppy as shit here, willing to throw wildly with Yahya. If Yahya had Kid's power, then Kid would've been rocked, as well. Kid got his shots in, of course, but I don't know, something was off. I felt the same way in his last fight. He needs to fight guys like Pato, Takaya, Tamura, & Lion. Guys that would actually test him. K-1 Hero's wants to please him, and that's fine, but people need to realize that Faber would actually stand a good chance against him.

Kid showed more dominance vs. Yahya than Faber did vs. Curran, personally.

Kid was taking shots from a grappler. Faber got his back taken by a great jitz player. Kid stopped a grappler. Faber choked out a great jitz player, who happens to be damn near impossible to finish.
