ZST Tag team MMA match

[ramsden302]

aaaaaaaand.....MUTE

[HonzoHasegawa]

zst is the shit...japaneses orgs like pride/k1 heros/rings-i dunno what it is but they always create creative & good technique wise fighters and great martial artist..maybe its the rules?rings?refs/crowd not jus forcing a brawl..i duno too bad we dont have a similar org here jus ufc which is cool(not hating) but its different...

[incativated]

5:14 gtfo!

[shnitzel12]

Awesome video quality..and great song!!! not

[andystruth]

What a fucking joke.. Tag the other guy as soon as you start getting beat down so the opponent has to stop his attack.. BS fighting man. Keep MMA as it is.. One on One.

These guys all have amazing talent, why kill it with this WWE-SmackDown-Raw Type Bullshit.

[hentajus]

@andystruth

Adds a lot of strategy. Not just one guy trying to beat the shit out of the other.

[andystruth]

@hentajus I can accept that.. But I still find it cheapens the event. They all have great skill but it just seems wasted when not a one on one event to me.. Maybe I am too old school.. I have been doing this kind of stuff since the late 70's.

[Gooody17]

this looks fuckign stupid



[TheRampage125]

this is supposed to be MIXED MARTIAL ARTS not WWE WITH GLOVES

[notyorkhakis]

@TheRampage125 what's supposed to be what now? Who decided? You?

[shawnv21]

FAKE

[hentajus]

@shawnv21

wtf xDDDDD are you kidding me? lol ZST is fake? xDDDD

[taiatap]

White's/Europeans do not understand strategy.

[hentajus]

@taiatap

Hmm. One of those European fighters is Remigijus Morkevicius (probably the best current fighter hailing from my country) with an awesome mma record. But i must admit, the Japanese guys had awesome strategy, their style looked interesting it was like some mixture of monkey kung-fu and Brazilian jujitsu.

[CheezMonsterCrazy]

@hentajus Yeah, you could tell it was really throwing his opponent off.

[TopazSkillMauler]

WTF?

[canucktheclown]

More shitty music is used in music videos...

[jigsaw99]

Imanari's tag team partner is useless lol

[thinkpad20]

Imanari is awesome.

[zack3c]

shamrock bros are gay

[franznsx]

emelianenko brothers, overeem brothers, nogueira brothers, shamrock brothers, diaz brothers (if they got fat), klitschko brothers, pacquiao brothers.....damn.

[Lejendary2]

LOL IMANARI

[Triplej840]

only in japan!

[RonMeijers]

Fedor and Brock should team up.

[nonespecial200]

@RonMeijers i got a better one....Overeem Brothers vs Emelianenko brothers!

[yojimdo45]

@RonMeijers Brock would let him down...

[kuntmissioner]

Awesome to see for historical purposes. Thanks for uploading.  Got any more??

[JaysGOP]

And people wonder why MMA can't get sanctioned in certain places.

[kuntmissioner]

@JaysGOP Comment is as dated as this match itself, which obviously occurred overseas. Obv only a moron would watch this obscure, boring fight and relate it to modern MMA sanctioning.

[FastCassius]

that is the lamest fighters on the planet

[kuntmissioner]

@FastCassius The fighters aren't to be blamed for the lame rules of this "fight". This is basically Tag Team Submission Grappling. ZST did not promote their fights under the unified rules.

[FastCassius]

what a shame

[Mmagnus1]

What a joke, how absolutly rediculous can you make MMA. Let's put those gentlemen in the retard catagory, and move on with life.

[MrRoylatham]

odd but than again not really that odd...

i find it more weird to not have blows to the face on the ground :-/

[threedayswaste]

MMA Is FAke

[MrRoylatham]

@threedayswaste why would you say that?

[Miguelliz587]

@threedayswaste You are a Fucking idiot.

[threedayswaste]

@Miguelliz587 still fake faggot

[Miguelliz587]

@threedayswaste And your penis is still mini you Steamy Shit Sack.

[fatdan172501]

@threedayswaste hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahaha lol your a joke

[Sprawl1978]

I would never believe this if i didn't see this.

[zedrein18]

Damn you motherfuckers.

[mr3ggroll]

yikes!!! im scare of leg lock

[koleekonkong]

should have used a chair after distracting the ref.

[dannielpreto]

this is a work right?

[tfiraz]

@dannielpreto No ZST have tag team mma matches lol.

[fudanchu]

Awesome, Imanari/Yano fight "butt first" and dare the opponent to run into a back kick, or they go for a leg lock, or they tumble around on the floor...all while staying totally calm - and winning. I haven't seen this before. Far more interesting than a strongman slugfest.

[cengiskahn]

fucking stupid kines, fight like a man!

[zedrein18]

You wanna' step outside, motherfucker!?

[dynamitek2]

Imanari is the tits.

[cyranoone]

some times when you fight a guy with an Unusual style you do have to be careful, cause once you under estimate an opponent that when you catch a wild hay maker to the head with out realizing it.

[tlsgs15]

you see thats why the're out doin stupid shit like this cause none of that backing up towards the guy and fallin on the ground for a leg lock shit would work against somebody who knows what they're doin cause he would have gotten kicked in the head with their gay little socks.

[GoldenRuffian]

you, sir,  are dumb.

[mr3ggroll]

oh yeah by the way i think fighters should ALLOW to hit the back off head if the opponent use back of head as shield. like these two dude

[ugotownedbtch]

does neone kno the rules as to how the tag system works? does the oppenents partner come in when u tag in ur own partner?

[enenaps]

sick toe hold to knee bar transition at the end. gotta love imanari those leg locks are masterful

[tongan321]

IS that imanari?

[Nisp]

Ya thats Imanari and Yano vs. Morkevicius and someone who I don't know.

[KidPeligro83]

Is that dude fighting in his socks or something ( 4:27 ). LOL.

[shiya3]

Why isnt the gloved guys punching? if theres rule restricting that, why did they even bother to wear gloves?

some1 enlighten me pls! thx

[irmccabe]

If they're not wearing gloves they can only throw open-hand strikes. If they do wear gloves they can throw closed fist. No strikes to the head while on the ground.

[shiya3]

ok, thx a lot!

[irmccabe]

No Problem.

[kuzuboshii]

That Japanese guys leg game is impressive.

[yumjesusjuice]

thats masakazu imanari. He STRICTLY goes for leg locks, and nothing else.

[wondeboy12]

so hes a tad 1 dimensional then?

[karoolta]

thats a lie, he has a few arm bars to his record.

hes a very skilled grappler overall, leg locks are by far his best aspect though.

[LethalKingScorpion]

He sure as hell has a game plan - great work

[mr3ggroll]

their style isnt that impressive. theyre weakness is their strength. i can just dive and grab their leg first b4 they get mine. they also wide open for ground and pound. if opponent is strong striker, its all over

[Robopencil]

He's not wearing gloves because he wants to grapple. You can hit harder with gloves on because you don't have to worry about injuring your hand or wrist.

[ponleyelou]

Como se revuelven los jodios chinos

[Nameless2k6]

mma tai chi on 2:24

[tristanv1]

FAKE NJPW

[jsg103]

They do (or did anyway) have tag team mma, a few fights in unsanctioned us states and some in japan. That clip sure looked like njpw to me tho.

[dreddykyd]

This is so fake, nobody actually buys into this do they?

[phil367153206]

It's not fake. But I don't believe they have MMA tag matches anymore.

[runescapejagexltd]

i love u 2 buddy :D jk ain't homo like you homo mofo

[antgto]

As "entertaining" as ZST is, these no gloved, let me turn my back to you, leg lock guys only thrive in ZST for a reason. Where else but ZST is the competition just bad enough that there technique will look good? Few straight up ZST fighters make it outside of ZST. Just look at Naoyuki Kotani.

[MikeRoscope]

iminari, one of "these no gloved, let me turn my back to you, leg lock guys" is ranked in the top 10 in the world at 145

[antgto]

That's good. I'm glad for him. I simply meant I don't see to many of the top ZST guys to often. By my own omission, I don't watch all the MMA in the world, so I wouldn't know what it is he's up to. Have any of the others done well outside ZST? I've only seen Iminari and Kotani.

[lama101]

I hate that japanese guy fuckin snake doesn't fight just goes for d legs fuckin hate him fuckin twat

[malsahth]

yer

useless

[SuperRustyBoy]

You sir, are an illiterate cretin.

[phil367153206]

Sean Sherk pre-roided, that's new to me.

[HadeSCAR]

A tag team MMA match?It's funny,I wonder could all 4 of them fight in the ring at the same time?

[malsahth]

hahaha, diving to the floor??? sure, great leg locks but its kinda taking advantage of the no stomping isnt it? i dont know about you, but its not a great tactic in my eyes, abit faggoty ...

[PrintScrn12]

Stomping is allowed in the ZST rules, as long you don't hit the head.

[FightTipsPhil]

Well if it gets him a win then why not

[malsahth]

cos its cowardly, his using the rules to his advantage

plus his got no gloves...

[mrpreacher]

wow, Imanari is a beast, love this guy!

[mzekiy]

If you want to see imanari taktics "go wrong" watch his fight against hansen. But he is still the greatest Leg-lock-Artist to me

[Biastrua]

The sound of Hansen's knee crashing into Imanari's skull still echoes in my mind.

[gr33ndestLny]

keep the prowrestling antics away from mma plz

[skraddypoo]

You = stupid.

[leroywulguru]

you=cockhead tag team is bullshit

[PERZN4LIFE]

ya i don't like that tag team thing, i like fights one on one.

[IsamashiiX]

I hate Yano. I'm glad Rambaa M-16 whooped his ass.

[AndySherod]

I have been waiting a long time to see tag team MMA. What a disappointment. This was gayer than 2 guys fucking. I want back the 6 minutes of my life they just wasted.

[tman229]

That style seemed so odd but it worked well i guess. My first time seeing that. Looks like it woulda worked better if there wasn't any rope to grap on to tho.

[Madguten]

Awesome video.

[redteamla]

What is the deal with that croucher?

[richieb19]

That Inamari... and thats how he fights... the leg lock king!

[skraddypoo]

I hope other promotions try this sorta thing. As a pro wrestling fan as well, I wanna see it at least tried, and hopefully allowing the occasional double-teaming for a few seconds after the tag. Meanwhile, at 4:01 I was hoping he tried to go for a Sharpshooter, and hoping even more that it worked. :)

[BionicGroin]

oh awesome, I've been waiting for tag team mma for years. It looks like a work though.

[totaldestruction]

Mork's Partner is Mindaugas Stankus - a rather unknown fighter, I guess.

[JoeMomma2002]

Is that really his name? Mindaugas... STANKUS!?! Dude seriously it sounds like you made that up.

[FinnishT]

pure shit..you call that mma?? damn that sitting in the ring and taking leg locks is boring to watch!!

[dreddykyd]

How come there's no tag team matches on Imanari's Sherdog record?

[FireballKid01]

It's because this is an exhibition bout. Anybody know who Mork's partner is?

[Dedwyre]

Sherdog doesn't list tag matches.

I know there have been legit MMA tag matches. I can't tell if this is one or not.

[dreddykyd]

Sure looks like a work.  It's crap either way.

[abuelooo]

bizarre...

[dondada469]

Horrible...simply horrible

[jtonyrock]

Team of PunchingBags didnt do anything in this fight and how bad can you be with leglocks to not finish it so many times? :/

[JoeMomma2002]

Have you trained in MMA? Don't think so. A leglock can be done in one second or can take the person a minute to finally get the right position. They didn't punch anything because they can't. ZST rules, they chose no gloves because it's easier to grip and they're submission fighters.

[jtonyrock]

ZST is Pro Wrestling organization?

[JoeMomma2002]

MMA organization. They have tag matches...

[jtonyrock]

for me it looked like MMPW(Mixed Martial Pro-Wrestling). Maybe guy fights this way, but it looked fake

[JoeMomma2002]

It's not fake and the guy was using submission wrestling (i.e catch wrestling). He is known for his vicious leglocks and unorthodox style. It isn't fake honey, it's all real son. ZST is known for it's originality and that's why it stands out from traditional MMA Orgz. Remi and Imanari are real MMA fighters, look them up if you don't believe me...

[Motopractishiner]

lol wats that new stance called?

[RedWarrior]

Imanari is a machine. A machine programmed to kill!

[ChukoLiang]

I like the no-gloves option, really helps out the grappling specialist. Wearing MMA gloves makes submissions a lot harder to pull off

[Sloinikas]

Imanari is monkey

[pigbenis201]

Mork has never ko'd Imanari, nor has he fought him in a singles match. You're probably confusing him with Yano, who Mork ko'd by slamming him into fuck. Or possibly Tokoro.

[djtiessto]

stand up fighters aren't very good at ground. they would kick em in stand up fight. remigijus turned imanari off, if you wanna see that match check remigijus morkevicius hls'

[Size18]

that kick catch is nice! i always saw the highlight and wondered why that dude was sitting on the apron like that, now i know

[narg]

2 leglock submissions in one night, holy crap

[narg]

Imanari is a madman

[pigbenis201]

In ZST, gloves are optional. If you choose not to wear them, you can only strike with your palms like old Pancrase.

[Igor4eva]

WTF is going on here why does one participant have gloves on and the others dont

[JoeMomma2002]

Much easier grip for a grappler without gloves.

[IChinaManI]

lol at 230 exactly it looks like hes trying the kamhahaha wave lol

[IChinaManI]

that was some cool grappling but round 220 what the fuck was that defense with his ass, why not give him a big high kick to the face? i donno i prefer regular mma and muay thai to this.

[Ekikel]

he looks so cool while tumbling and so on!

[DemonsInTheNight]

Damn, that one dude went straight for the leg locks. I saw a few toe holds, and a heel hook or two
