In the words of Wing Chun master William Chueng, "Bruce Lee was probably pound for pound the toughest in the world, but Benny 'the jet' Urquidez would give him a good fight. This the utmost compliment from a traditional master. One thing is for sure, Benny could take a punch, get back up from being knocked down and win. Being a superior striker, as well as being able to learn new styles, he would have no trouble in MMA.
You don't know what you are talking about. Benny was in two movies with Jackie Chan and after seeing Benny Jackie Chan said he didn't want to really fight him. He joked about being an actor where as Benny was "the real deal". Bruce lee's friend and fellow martial artist Leroy Garcia once said if anyone could have given Bruce Lee a run for his money it would be Benny Urquidez.
i think in Benny's "golden times" Tony Yaa or Jet Li would be good opponents and could do some exibitions with him.(aside from Bruce Lee). Van Dame couldn't match him and Chuck Norris would be too rigid with his Karate Style. Maybe Dan Inosanto or a UFC Champ like Frank Shamrock or Tito Ortiz can match him.
@aknowneemus I never heard that. I do know Rorion challenged HIM and Benny started trying to add rules to keep the contest standing as much as possible. At that point of course what's the point because it's not a "real" fight any more. I also heard that they'd already met somewhere and Benny had gotten thrown on the ground and tapped out more than once so ...
Benny is a street dude man. He's a street fighter forget what you heard. He change up his game when that teachincal stuff was not working you see how Benny was smileing saying ok its time to make him respect me.
I just watched ufc130 it sucked. fighters lost all their energy in the first round in both main fights. and i'm watching benny, he throws punches kicks non stop. if he were young enough to fight today, he would have kicked all ufc fighters' asses.
@freebiri MMA has forgot alot of stuff over the years, they say it's always evolving but imo, i think for it to do that, they'll have to look back into traditional arts and take techniques from there.
karate lost too much to kickboxing so they setup american kickboxing ,karate really made big money then.movies dojo uniform pad trophies [every month]
the legend of liar.so many world champs.actually only continental champs.
The best ever! What i wouldn't give to train with this guy! The Gracie's presented Benny with the "Gracie Challenge" for 100k. Thinking he was just a stand up fighter. They later found out he was a black belt in Judo under Gene Lebell. The challenge magically disappeared.
I wonder how many seconds Chuck Norris could last if he were to stand against this beast..i mean just look at his face..that's a face of an enraged animal
kickboxing was the sign of that time for martial art hstory. then came MMA. what is going to be the next revolution in these disciplines? any sugestions?
@peluchetaiwanes At this point? We'll see the gloves go away next I think. Aside from adopting Brazilian rules MMA is pretty extreme unless someone wants to throw sabers in there and spice it up with some fencing.
Free energy has been here all along ,But the Big corporations spend millions to ensure that information does not spread to the masses,if you want a real Free energy Magnet Motor, get the blueprints at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the energy revolution!
Seriously, I wish this was still big instead of MMA.
BJJ was entertaining when it was Royce Gracie beating dudes 150-200 lbs heavier than he was, and when UFC had fewer rules, and was more of 'a clash of styles.' Now that it's more or less a bunch of people of equal weight all doing the same thing...ugh.
@fuckenaguru on the otherhand its documented that he was ready to take them on as they, thinking he didn't have any grappling experience. However, when the Gracie's found out he'd gained a Black Belt under Gene LeBell they refused to persue for a fight any further.
love it when martial artists like Benny 'The Jet' says ' ...'I'm not the kind to do it to hurt somebody'..he's not aiming to be recognized but to challenged himself in facing the strongest!!
"Benny will fight anyone, anywhere under any rules...."
This is of course bullshit. He has never convincingly beaten any Thai fighters. Most notable was his fight against Sitiboonlert, a Thai fighter who wasn't even the best at the time. Yet Urquidez had tremendous difficulty against the Thai style leg kicks and clinching. Sitiboonlert punished Urquidez and it was mysteriously ruled a no-contest.
@legkicker01 Nope he wasn't the champ but if he had so much difficulty with Sitiboonlert, one can only imagine what would happen if he faced the top Lumpini champ.
I don't know about now, but in those days, it had been said the difference bewteen champs and top rated fighters was very slim. Still I agree with you since Urquidez had demanded no use of the elbows for the Sittiboonlert fight.
@legkicker01 Heck, one look at Sitiboonlert and he looked like a champ to me. Fighters are usually afraid of elbow and knee range, for good reason. The Thai fighters are extremely proficient in that range.
UFC is very gay....most people think martial arts is a sport nowadays because of it and if you are a true martial artist like myself then you will realise how stupid UFC is and most other forms of MMA leagues. The ground aspect fucking sucks and just look at all their bodies...they are taking roids. I'v thought myself Martial arts for the past 2 years myself at home and have been training quite hard day by day and have developed tremendous strength.
@thecrazyoftheinsane Actually, Benny won his match against the Thai fighter. The first bout was ruled a no contest after Benny threw his opponent to the ground in a clinch after the Thai fighter kicked him in the thigh. The rematch was won by Benny.
You are talking about Sanun Plypoolsup. It is true Urquidez beat him twice in Hawaii. Yes, he was Thai, but never was a Thai boxer. He was an Thai exchange student with some boxing experience. He was not a pro fighter back home.
@44excalibur Actually, he lost that fight. The bout was not ruled a no contest, Benny lost and he did not show up for the rematch. The fact that you fail to acknowledge this is hilarious.
@thecrazyoftheinsane Sorry, let me specify. I was referring to Urquidez's fight against Thai boxer Narong Noi. You're probably thinking of his fight against Prayuth Sittiboonlert, which is still ruled as a no contest by the WKA to this day. It was a controversial fight, no doubt.
As for the Narongnoi fight, you can find the videos (3 part) here in YT. By watching closely, there is no way Urquidez won the fight. He was also decisioned by Sittiboonlert in Tokyo. The WKA had no authority to rule it as a no-contest since it did neither promoted nor sanctioned the fight in the first place.
@legkicker01 Well I know the Narong Noi fight was called a no contest after Urquidez Judo flipped him to the canvas and it went for 9 rounds. I did hear Urquidez won the rematch between them. I can't comment on the Sittiboonlert fight since I didn't see it. Like I said, it remains a controversy to this day.
You can watch the full round of the Narongnoi fight in YT. In the end of the fight, the Thai floored Urquidez with his roundhouse kick to the jaw. There was no rematch since no sanctioning body was interested in pitting the Thais against the Americans. Nothing controversial about the Sittiboonlert fight. Over here in Japan, fans know Urquidez was clearly decisioned. Only in the US, people want to make it sound controversial.
No. the opossite is true. In the states, he was merely a good Mexican figher, but in Japan he could be the all-American champion. That's why he has emphasized, and sometimes over exaggerated his exploits here so much because he knew he could not command as much respects as Wallace and Lewis in the US.
I fought so many years ago in the olympic auditorium with Greg wilkerson. At that time the main event was Benny Urquidez and a Thsiland fighter who he beat. In the last round the Thsi fighter did knock benny down and he got up. All the rounds before that benny did win clearly. Their was even a riot at the Olympic auditorium that night, but benny clearly won. I have nothing but respect for the Thsiland fighters cause they put their heart and soul into it.
Benny was one of the greatest kickboxers of all time. He fought anyone under any rules and even sometimes at any weight (Like Dana Goodsen) and he came out on top. He also is an incredible person and I had the honor of knowing him.
"Benny is only effective when he is using his both arms and leg." How retarded can you be? That's like saying, "Take guns away from the military and they can be beaten." Benny's a champion because he has learned how to use his entire body effectively.... hands, feet, knees, elbows, and ground.
@svettos come on ignorant....if U now nothing shut up please, (k-1 Max, Chucks Fighting League, Weights Divisions...)...stupid ONLY stand up wanna be fighter
I agree that kickboxing is a better spectator sport than mma, but it's not the athlete's fault, it's just the rules of the game. I would be happy to see kickboxing replace mma and ufc in terms of popularity and money-making potential.
@svettos Sure... sure... you seem like an expert on the subject... ever wonder where grappling came from ? Ever heard of Jiu Jitsu and Greco ? Start by actually knowing what you are talking about before posting.
@svettos if you're referring to the grappling that is so prevalent today... it is so, because when you add that into the equation, it can be the great neutralizer. The "lying on the floor" are actually very technically skilled martial artists
put benny on his prime and pacquiao on the ring minus the kick. pacquiao will smoke benny, hands down. benny is only effective when he is using his both arms and leg.
Well you can say that, except if Benny only worked his hands and not spent time on kicks, what's to say his hands wouldn't be ten times better? Just an observation
He is simply a legend , there is really good movie fightscene were he takes it up with Jet li...one of the best fight scenes in movie history if you ask me .
Too bad Benny and all the other ¨real american heroes´´ never wanted to fight the thai way;) Benny said, they made me wear thai shorts and I said I don´t want to, means that he didn´t want to fight with elbows and knees either, You can see okao´s holding back something;) But you guys go ahead and think Benny was the best ever, But please look up Samart Payakaroon while your at it. And see what a REAL Hero looks like.
lol..don't be sour. Benny was a beast, show some respect. You can still use elbows and knees if your opponent is wearing long pants..shit, he's smart to demand long pants because any protection helps, even if it's just some clothing.
it´s so obvious that you don´t understand what the fuck i´m talking about. it was just a metaphor. it still is funny that he never fought with knees nor elbows. I´ve seen only one fight against a thai with knees (benny lost). Benny is a brand, he´s just a big promotion, you americans prefer image rather than quality.
Show some respect? what does that have to do with anything???? trust me, benny got enough money and fame out of this, he doesn´t need my respect;)
talking about all your real american fighters;) like superfoot, the jet, the dragon and what ever fantasy names you guys got out there. All good fighters but definitely not that good, You Yanks should look into some real names, instead of alway asuming you´re the best ever!; diesel noi, payakaroon, coban, dekkers, kaman, attachai, samkor, pramuk, silva, sakuraba, hoost etc.
Oh don´t get me wrong, I love america, I think you guys have the best pancakes in the world, and the peanutbutter is great too. Some of the hottest girls i´ve dated were americans. I shit you not. But let´s face the facts; americans aren´t the most modest human beings out there. if you´re mature, and by the way you talk to me, you must be. you should acknowledge the fact that almost every american thinks that the world evolves around him.
But are they any worse than people from other countries who judge all Americans based not even on personal experience but on public image and make general statements that Americans are dumb, or that they are violent. I live in the united states of freedom and education, aka the northern half of the US. Draw a line between us, California and the south, and below that area you do not refer to them as the US, but rather "Jesusland"
I think everybody judges america, because as a country the United states has given them a bad image. I never said you guys are dumb, I was talking about sports. the last thing I want to know about a fighter is his IQ. I was talking about the way you talk about sports and always assume you have the best athletes out there. America never took kaman serious because he was just a dutchguy. When he fought blinky he wasn´t allowed to use his elbows. Because ofcourse you make the rules
We don't think the world revolves around us. We don't give a shit about the rest of the world. Some consider it a problem. I think they should'nt give a shit about us either. We should all focus on our own problems and leave everyone else be.
you´re so right, we should all think about ourselves and nothing else;) Somehow I think you´re the smartest american out there. I just want to say, that even if I don´t give a shit anymore about anybody else besides myself. I still find it important to post my opinion on the net;) and reply to anti-american posts. GOD BLESS AMERICA:p
assuming the entire population wanted to go to war, therefore assuming all americans are responsible for the lies and deceptions of politicians is bad
Oh my god this is for all you americans out there. First of all, you guys are ALWAYS right! Second, you choose a government democratically and then blame them for every decision they make. What do you think the rest of the world is?? Dumber than you? It´s the American flag they´re burning on every continent, but I suppose that´s just because we´re all ignorant. When you win the olympics, you win as a nation. But when you fuck up(as usual), you´re never the one´s to blame;)
I never said our nation in and of itself isn't at fault. We empirically are militaristic assholes who constantly push into others faces...as a NATION. Sitting there blaming every single american for the wars is a complete unnecessary generalization. I opposed the war, a friend of mine supported it. Blame him.
I'm criticizing the people (the individuals, not their nationalities or comrades) on here who jump to conclusions and generalize an entire population .
Don´t tell me that we´re the only ones always criticizing every american. I don´t know every american out there, lot of good people I´m sure, I didn´t even say that the president was an asshole. Don´t expect us to have an opinion on every individual out there. Do you have an opinion on all of us individually? I don´t have anything against you, as well as all the other great people that live in the US. But you guys better think about your rep, I´m not the only european thinking that way
I understand that it bothers a lot of you out there that we put you all in the same group. We should treat everybody individually, however it´s not always that easy. Well I think we have no problem here. Hey next time you´re in europe, could you bring me some JIF peanutbutter(it´s the best there is):P I´ll pay you ofcourse
I never tasted the peter pan butter, is it any good?? while your at it, bring me some cap´n crunch (any box doesn´t matter which) but lay off those fruit loops they suck!!!! Don´t know how those guys got rich, fucking sugar flaked crap;) how much do you want for the butter?
@vanmarty83 choosing a government democratically and then blaming them for the decisions they make is called holding your elected officials responsible...in most cases we are choosing the lesser of two evils anyways. And when we win in the olympics it is an everyday person winning. They are happy to represent all of us when they go. We are happy to celebrate with them. don't burn too many flags, doesn't sound very environmentally friendly.

@legkicker01 Actually I was talking about Urqudez's fight against Thai boxer Narong Noi, not Sanun Plypoolsup.

@44excalibur Actually, he lost that fight. The bout was not ruled a no contest, Benny lost and he did not show up for the rematch. The fact that you fail to acknowledge this is hilarious.

@thecrazyoftheinsane Sorry, let me specify. I was referring to Urquidez's fight against Thai boxer Narong Noi. You're probably thinking of his fight against Prayuth Sittiboonlert, which is still ruled as a no contest by the WKA to this day. It was a controversial fight, no doubt.
44excalibur 1 year ago
As for the Narongnoi fight, you can find the videos (3 part) here in YT. By watching closely, there is no way Urquidez won the fight. He was also decisioned by Sittiboonlert in Tokyo. The WKA had no authority to rule it as a no-contest since it did neither promoted nor sanctioned the fight in the first place.
legkicker01 1 year ago
@legkicker01 Well I know the Narong Noi fight was called a no contest after Urquidez Judo flipped him to the canvas and it went for 9 rounds. I did hear Urquidez won the rematch between them. I can't comment on the Sittiboonlert fight since I didn't see it. Like I said, it remains a controversy to this day.
44excalibur 1 year ago
You can watch the full round of the Narongnoi fight in YT. In the end of the fight, the Thai floored Urquidez with his roundhouse kick to the jaw. There was no rematch since no sanctioning body was interested in pitting the Thais against the Americans. Nothing controversial about the Sittiboonlert fight. Over here in Japan, fans know Urquidez was clearly decisioned. Only in the US, people want to make it sound controversial.
legkicker01 1 year ago
@legkicker01 Ohhhh, you're from Japan! I heard they don't like Urquidez over there that much.
44excalibur 1 year ago
No. the opossite is true. In the states, he was merely a good Mexican figher, but in Japan he could be the all-American champion. That's why he has emphasized, and sometimes over exaggerated his exploits here so much because he knew he could not command as much respects as Wallace and Lewis in the US.
legkicker01 1 year ago
I fought so many years ago in the olympic auditorium with Greg wilkerson. At that time the main event was Benny Urquidez and a Thsiland fighter who he beat. In the last round the Thsi fighter did knock benny down and he got up. All the rounds before that benny did win clearly. Their was even a riot at the Olympic auditorium that night, but benny clearly won. I have nothing but respect for the Thsiland fighters cause they put their heart and soul into it.

Benny was one of the greatest kickboxers of all time. He fought anyone under any rules and even sometimes at any weight (Like Dana Goodsen) and he came out on top. He also is an incredible person and I had the honor of knowing him.

"Benny is only effective when he is using his both arms and leg." How retarded can you be? That's like saying, "Take guns away from the military and they can be beaten." Benny's a champion because he has learned how to use his entire body effectively.... hands, feet, knees, elbows, and ground.

I agree that kickboxing is a better spectator sport than mma, but it's not the athlete's fault, it's just the rules of the game. I would be happy to see kickboxing replace mma and ufc in terms of popularity and money-making potential.

@svettos if you're referring to the grappling that is so prevalent today... it is so, because when you add that into the equation, it can be the great neutralizer. The "lying on the floor" are actually very technically skilled martial artists

put benny on his prime and pacquiao on the ring minus the kick. pacquiao will smoke benny, hands down. benny is only effective when he is using his both arms and leg.

Too bad Benny and all the other ¨real american heroes´´ never wanted to fight the thai way;) Benny said, they made me wear thai shorts and I said I don´t want to, means that he didn´t want to fight with elbows and knees either, You can see okao´s holding back something;) But you guys go ahead and think Benny was the best ever, But please look up Samart Payakaroon while your at it. And see what a REAL Hero looks like.
vanmarty83 2 years ago
lol..don't be sour. Benny was a beast, show some respect. You can still use elbows and knees if your opponent is wearing long pants..shit, he's smart to demand long pants because any protection helps, even if it's just some clothing.
SolidSnakeRules 2 years ago
it´s so obvious that you don´t understand what the fuck i´m talking about. it was just a metaphor. it still is funny that he never fought with knees nor elbows. I´ve seen only one fight against a thai with knees (benny lost). Benny is a brand, he´s just a big promotion, you americans prefer image rather than quality.
Show some respect? what does that have to do with anything???? trust me, benny got enough money and fame out of this, he doesn´t need my respect;)
vanmarty83 2 years ago

in our women maybe. not sure what the fuck you're talking about otherwise.
SolidSnakeRules 2 years ago
talking about all your real american fighters;) like superfoot, the jet, the dragon and what ever fantasy names you guys got out there. All good fighters but definitely not that good, You Yanks should look into some real names, instead of alway asuming you´re the best ever!; diesel noi, payakaroon, coban, dekkers, kaman, attachai, samkor, pramuk, silva, sakuraba, hoost etc.

Well, your anti-americanism is completely immature. I didn't give Benny a nickname or claim he's the best.
But I do know that at the time, Benny was the man to beat.

Oh don´t get me wrong, I love america, I think you guys have the best pancakes in the world, and the peanutbutter is great too. Some of the hottest girls i´ve dated were americans. I shit you not. But let´s face the facts; americans aren´t the most modest human beings out there. if you´re mature, and by the way you talk to me, you must be. you should acknowledge the fact that almost every american thinks that the world evolves around him.
vanmarty83 2 years ago
But are they any worse than people from other countries who judge all Americans based not even on personal experience but on public image and make general statements that Americans are dumb, or that they are violent. I live in the united states of freedom and education, aka the northern half of the US. Draw a line between us, California and the south, and below that area you do not refer to them as the US, but rather "Jesusland"
SolidSnakeRules 2 years ago
I think everybody judges america, because as a country the United states has given them a bad image. I never said you guys are dumb, I was talking about sports. the last thing I want to know about a fighter is his IQ. I was talking about the way you talk about sports and always assume you have the best athletes out there. America never took kaman serious because he was just a dutchguy. When he fought blinky he wasn´t allowed to use his elbows. Because ofcourse you make the rules
vanmarty83 2 years ago

Oh my god this is for all you americans out there. First of all, you guys are ALWAYS right! Second, you choose a government democratically and then blame them for every decision they make. What do you think the rest of the world is?? Dumber than you? It´s the American flag they´re burning on every continent, but I suppose that´s just because we´re all ignorant. When you win the olympics, you win as a nation. But when you fuck up(as usual), you´re never the one´s to blame;)
vanmarty83 2 years ago
relax
I never said our nation in and of itself isn't at fault. We empirically are militaristic assholes who constantly push into others faces...as a NATION. Sitting there blaming every single american for the wars is a complete unnecessary generalization. I opposed the war, a friend of mine supported it. Blame him.
I'm criticizing the people (the individuals, not their nationalities or comrades) on here who jump to conclusions and generalize an entire population .
When did i say i was smart?
policyguy224 2 years ago
Don´t tell me that we´re the only ones always criticizing every american. I don´t know every american out there, lot of good people I´m sure, I didn´t even say that the president was an asshole. Don´t expect us to have an opinion on every individual out there. Do you have an opinion on all of us individually? I don´t have anything against you, as well as all the other great people that live in the US. But you guys better think about your rep, I´m not the only european thinking that way
vanmarty83 2 years ago
thats cool, this is all true
but don't say "this is for all you americans out there" than say something like that.
I understand where you're coming from, i really do, it just pisses me off when people group people like that.
I'm glad you clarified that.
policyguy224 2 years ago
I understand that it bothers a lot of you out there that we put you all in the same group. We should treat everybody individually, however it´s not always that easy.

@vanmarty83 choosing a government democratically and then blaming them for the decisions they make is called holding your elected officials responsible...in most cases we are choosing the lesser of two evils anyways. And when we win in the olympics it is an everyday person winning. They are happy to represent all of us when they go. We are happy to celebrate with them. don't burn too many flags, doesn't sound very environmentally friendly.
