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 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.
Thats all Yahya did, was throw power shots and they had a ton of steam on them. Kid took them as if they were nothing. I also notice the lack of account for how many times Rani was rocked. He even turned his back on Yamamoto once, and I thought it should have been stopped then.

As far as Faber getting his back taken by a jitz dude, yes thats true. But how'd he get outwrestled too??? Curran leg sweeped him at the outset of the fight and took his back. Round two, Curran stuffed Faber's throw...not very impressive from someone who is considered an explosive wrestler.

I'll admit, that was not Kid's best performance, but it wasn't horrid. Just the same as Urijah's wasn't "really, really good" against Curran.
