Norifumi Kid Yamamoto vs Joe Warren Part 1

[Ironman4321wow]

Joe Warren Sucks. period

[Nick209Diaz]

wait...what did kid get a yellow card for.

clearly warren was the one stalling.

[FireProMMA]

@FatRedneckTerrorist Shut the fuck up. Demetrious Johnson beat Kid because he has some of the most technical and fast wrestling in MMA. He didn't even lay and pray him because Kid did a good job sweeping him, but he also outstruck him so he ultimately won the fight. Go troll elsewhere you ignorant fuck.

[gungrave10]

takedown score a lot of points..just like mezger vs sakuraba.mezger throw a lot of good straight punch(although it seems that it done no damage at all to sakuraba,at least it connect),and being the aggressor of the fight,im supposed that it a split victory to mezger,but a few of sakuraba takedowns scores more than enough to earn him seal a draw,and two devastating kick that rocked mezger not to forget.

[TheSpartanNPE]

you know every time i watch this fight i just wanna smash joe warren when he slaps kids arm away i know he then goes for a hand shake....still wanna smash hi though

[fillituppp]

joe warren= boring as hell, if you just wanna lay with guys dont do it in mma

[ethan199303]

@fillituppp Lmao.. I couldn't agree more. He's a 1 dimensional fighter using only wrestling .. while his stand up sucks balls

[Nick209Diaz]

robbery. to what is a prime example of pussy fighters. KID landed 6-8 significant punches while warren landed less than 10 punches standing the entire fight.

lay n pray at its finest.

[filthyjames]

@Nick209Diaz

If someone can't stop takedowns and getting conrtolled, especially in a ring, where wrestlers don't have a solid cage to control their opponent against, randy style, then its their own fault and they should get better at wrestling.

[ussrwrestling]

@filthyjames I'm 100% agree!

[ryonsu15]

dang ring rust

[gottawachit]

Imagine if Kid didnt have all those surgeries. I hope Shogun stays great after his surgeries...

[blahblahmr]

This was a great fight.

[smkb6233]

チョンジュクナンニムリダｗ

[krazzyyo2]

kid definately lost this one

[RDbushi]

yamamoto went for gogoplata for a sec then realized he didnt know what he's doing

[david42018]

joe reminds me of josh koscheck. cocky yet all he does is lay on top of people for 15 mins... zzzZZzzz that's great "fighting"

[R0bert2169]

@david42018 Then you didn't see a lot of Koscheck's fights did you? Yes, his fight with Daley was rather boring. His fights with Alves, Trigg and the fight with Thiago were quite entertaining.

[filthyjames]

@david42018

he eats the best punches they have and then controls them, takes them down, and basically does whatever he wants to them.

gsp does that too

if they can't stop his wrestling, they should learn to wrestle, get better jiu jitsu, or go to k1. its part of the game, simple as that.

[trying4triangles]

@filthyjames Joe Warren hardly inflicts any damage on his opponents. He eats punches, gets a takedown and tries to survive being submitted. That's his game. lol

[pearcemark2]

@trying4triangles Ask Soto about how little damage he inflicts

[crimsonflare506]

is that Kid's girlfriend/wife they show around 1:45?

[NickDiabloDiaz]

@crimsonflare506 Yep

[whitekid3]

i luv how warren simply ignores kid's shotgun pose at him.... and yea, what was sup wit the handshake ... that was wierd

[indio2dr]

Wtf happened in the staredown lol.

[crimsonflare506]

@indio2dr LMAO. Seemed like Kid was going for a hug and Warren wanted none of it.

[judoka753]

kid shoulda won...warren had nothin

[jayzine]

@judoka753 kid's normally a better fighter, but he got pushed around this match, idk what was up with him. The call was split anyway, so it was close.

[berner]

Japanese people have the coolest names :)

[yoshibootz]

its not boring when your in there

[tdudd92]

Joe Warren is the most boring fighter ever.

[403Sc]

kid should the won almost knock him out a few times but the take down worth alot of points

[Mannypacquia0]

even thou joe warren is one hell of a greco roman wrestler thou. if he gets more quality wins, we could see a really good wrestler in the WEC as well

[Mannypacquia0]

if kid can get maybe three wins over quality opponents in dream he should sign with the WEC. but to be honest i think kid has ring rust or something.

[Debmey]

Joe looks really good. An exciting fighter.

[Nakjakson]

Someone farted at 3:43.

[chuckyko]

I'm so glad Yamamoto lost this fight, the guy is such a douche bag.

[bluenickels]

why did they stand them up, give Kid a yellow card and then resume in stand up?

[hzuiel]

because in pride they expect action, and they give cards for just sitting there. he was just keeping his guard tight and holding joe's arms and not doing anything. he wasn't trying to escape or trying any submissions.

[hzuiel]

excuse me, this is dream, not pride, but it's a very similar organization.

[pianist231]

i disregard my comments.

[sophisticatedplayboy]

his chick is so fucking peng!

[Koreagle1]

Korean Rule!!!

[haxorthis]

neither of these peopelk are korean

[whenthesunsleeps777]

y the fuck is this in koreannnn???

[thetvp2008]

who gives a shit about mafia and ogodai khan. the best featherweight kickboxer in the world loosing due to lack of ground skills.

[PhillCore2112]

Kid is a wrestler dude, not a kickboxer. His one K-1 victory does not make him "the best featherweight kickboxer"

[Malk64]

@thetvp2008 Best featherweight kickboxer? Eh?

He only had 4 kickboxing bouts.

He got KO'd by Zambidis and Cheon. Lost to Masato, and won against Murahama,

[SergeiKharitonov]

Norifumi Yamamoto declared that he is great-great-great-great grandson of Ogodai Khan.

[atangvideo]

did joe push yamamoto's arm away in anger at 1:29?

[danteliveson]

Looks like it.

[MasamuneBuster]

yamamoto looked like he was trying to keep his arms on joe, usually he does that gay thing where he keeps his fist in front of the guy's stomach and pushes him away.

[wangchangyang]

kids a member of the japanese mafia.

[TippmanFaith]

really? how do you know that?

[wangchangyang]

he is a superstar, and you dont become a superstar in japan without the mafia backing you up. :P

[CSchruppNMU]

Kobashi, Misawa and Kawada don't need no mafia.

[Here2ownU]

He won the Japanese Olympic qualifier for Wrestling but was not allowed to compete due to his association with the mafia.

[TippmanFaith]

oh cool. what does he do for the mafia and what do they do for him? do they just give him money or something?

[PhillCore2112]

he injured himself before the qualifiers, so he didn't compete or place, let alone win

[samsunit144]

LOL pride and dream have so many problems with those ropes its hilarious. Wanerlei used to just grab them when he would stomp sum1 almost everytime lol. i wish they just got a cage. every1 grabs those damn ropes, and ppl get tangeled in them and have to restart the positions

[MylesF8]

does anyone know the make of kids shorts ??

[crooks008]

crooks and castles

[amhinternational]

taking a year off from fighting and training will take its toll going straight to the top. this is just a warm up for ufc/wec in the near future

[apexwrestler12]

i know Joe hes cool

[Snoochy2006]

This is Warren's 2nd pro fight. Thats crazy to think his beaten some of the best at his weight. Yamamoto has 20 fights and Beebe has 16. Hes probably the best Wrestler in MMA, "on paper". He has Gold Medals in the Pan American Championship, World Championships, and in the World Cup. Hes gonna go far...

[RadenMan]

Woo, I have never seen kid fight like this before. Not with so much Muy Thai over it. Have he trained differently now?

[XXID88]

i like kid too, hes the reason im watching this fight right now for sure, but joe did a good job and shows he might have what it takes. i would rather watch a ko but you have to respect them both, good fight. and kid didnt look that bad, he just fought a rusty fight against a wrestler, i wouldnt look into this loss too much.

[wildchild6660]

Look at warren's stance when boxing. A mirror image of dan herderson. Maybe cause they're both greco and fight for team quest

[figthersdreams]

I got kid winning this vid

[Nameless2k6]

kid came up there all smiles and then...wtf? Warren pushes his arm off? Shit. I thought for sure Kid was gonna kick his ass for that....

[FireballKid]

Although it was a comeback loss, he showed some good muay thai, as well as many other skills, but i think his stand up you can see alot more muay thai than boxing or MMA stand up.

[Alen1124]

Disappointing fight by Kid. Ah well, still a better fighter than Warren, by far.

[krip2knight]

kid kicks to much needs to throw more punches

[ufcjerome]

2 years out will do things to you, im sure he will be back to his winning ways soon

[amhinternational]

kid came unprepared thinking he will just walk through warren. Most importantly looked as if he was scared to throw his fist at warren

[TheRealjos2thehua]

Disappointed that Yamamoto didn't pull out the win, but Joe Warren just looks impressive. We'll have to see how he does in the future and where he goes. I think Yamamoto will come back stronger though and his next fight should go a lot better than this one.

Btw, I'm not really getting all the nationalist comments. I'm from America and I don't care if it's an American, Japanese, Canadian, Russian or Brazilian. If they fight good then they're a good fighter.

[pigsysteve]

i've noticed that most black white people go to japan fight over there cause it seems liek the japs are weak an they just beat them up an make money, i mean except kid yamamoto, dream final all white dudes or black etc no japs made it, man thats embarrassing, its liek a muay thai tournament an the thais not being in final they always murk the westerners!

[oscarjr265]

wow you must be chinese or korean

[pegasusize]

Yamamoto this low level, the practice is not before

[edercyto]

this is not the kid Yamamoto earlier, before the catch is not allowed here, but not fighting with their true level

[switters1011]

warren didn't just beat him on the ground, he beat him in the standup.

[nessalk1]

they added an inch to kid's leg during the surgery to make him taller

[Kuspetaren]

2:46 american wrestler cheats his way out of a takedown by grabbing the ropes. Way to go.

[nwilly8]

First of all he is a greco world champion. Kid wasnt going to be able to take him down with a body lock whether they were near the rope or in the center of the ring, that is a position joe will not lose in a fight. Second the referee pulled his arm off its not like he held on. Joe slayed him. Go america! Go JOE WARREN

[Kuspetaren]

lol

Grabbing the ropes is a position joe will not lose freely, because it is necessary to keep him on his feet.

Mediocre fight by Kid, after a long lay off. Better focus next time!

[decoysupreme]

hand pick opponent failed

[nwilly8]

I thought it was pretty obvious warren won. He controlled the fight. Took kid down and pounded minute after minute. Kid landed a few kicks but they didnt affect joe much. HE IS A WORLD CHAMPION OF THE BADDEST KIND.

[eddit]

What was the deal with the exchange at the staredown? Was kid joking around and trying to hug him? Or was he just being polite and there was a misunderstanding.

[odus]

Around early 2007, Kid started showing more respect and class. During the staredowns, he will hug his opponent and shake their hand. I think one of the reason for this is because in 2007 he was going to try to take part in the 2008 Olympics Wrestling. Because of his thug-like image, he wanted to change his image to represent Japan for the Olympics. Or maybe he finally realized how immature and stupid he acted. That's just my guess.

[secondsunn4]

why did he get tht yellow card around 9:40?

[AtwoodCooper123]

Im sure Kid will knock him out !!!

[TippmanFaith]

why has kid not fought in such a long time?

[sbyrne411]

he broke his arm in a qualifing match for the olympics, and he had to heal up and take time off and before he broke his arm he left mma to train for the olympics

[brucelee8l]

I believe he tore his ACL but not sure.

[tomoushimasu]

kid did ok, he's been out for a couple of years so it will take him a while to get back t his best..but once he's got a couple more fights in him, he will dominate again.

[Swervli]

Ah, good to see kid (who, as always, acted like a punk prefight) get shut up.

[sbyrne411]

he would own joe warren if he wasnt out for so long

[KidPeligro83]

He should of won because warren only 2 fights in his record but that just shows that MMA is an unpredictable sport.

[sbyrne411]

your record doesnt really prove that you will beat someone... styles make fights and if that persons style works well against yours or he is better at the skill that you both have he will 90% of the time win

[wave0730]

joe warren is good fighter

[sk8nicca]

fuck a joe warren

[nessalk1]

お前ら外人じゃ勝てねぇぞこいつにはｗｗｗｗ

[AJYUGF98]

wow!

now kid yamamoto cant move like before...he was killer. he should stop drugs.i know, his name isnt yamamoto.he has many many troubles. that's why i like kid!

[MC211982]

i kinda wonder on what you said that his name isnt yamamoto, simply because he certainly doesnt look like a typical japanese. he looks more like filipino or thai.

[icecoldknockout]

his real name is a okabe

[TippmanFaith]

where did you get this info?

[whoSez305]

are u guys fuckin for real!? lol u guys make it seem like joe warren DOMINATED this fight, nothing impressive ,kid got yellow carded and it ended in spilt decision ,and i dont care what no one says kid fucked him him standing up

[odus]

Kid didn't fuck him standing. Yes, Kid did land some good shots but it barely fazed Warren. And in the clinch Warren scored well with dirty boxing and knees.

[SuperSexyCommando]

Dudes, wtf, Joe fucking dominated he rounds...he had more fight in him that the ass clown. He won a good fight.

[valetudokid]

tiger woods also fucked himself when he first came back from his surgery.

look at him now.

[999reddevil]

would urijah have been able to beat kid that night, yea probably, would he beat a kid who wasnt coming off a knee injury and 512 days outta the ring and had been fighting on a more consistant basis? absolutely not I think it kid is a way better wrestler and strikeing is better. Kids layoff from fighting was almost longer then coutures retirement and i agree with kingbi kid is the shit

[chamillionator8]

Woo! Urijah Faber most definitely would kill kid yamamoto.

[sbyrne411]

haha you obviously dont know "kid"

[kingfbi]

yes i agree. Kid is awesome. My fav. I noticed he possessed more a muay thai stance than usual. His knee bobbed up and down a lot.

Im not sure if warren did enough to win though. Kid did more striking and warren did more ground work

[nwilly8]

joe warren in a baaad man.. wrestlers kill it

[sbyrne411]

kid is a wrestler

[999reddevil]

CSchruppNMU need to get up to date bro because that was warrens second fight, and i doubt kid would let him just lay on him for fifteen minutes if they step in the ring together again. He may of beat kid but bibiano fernendes is a whole nother animal and is gonna tap joe warren first round, and does anybody know what kids walk out song was

[CSchruppNMU]

And this was Warren's third fight period. WORLD CHAMP BABY.

[Taekky26]

joder a perdido ...

sele bajaran los humos al arrogante este

[sct92]

you tell em dude

[rynoesco]

first fight i've seen of kid. have to say that i'm not impressed. great job joe. just another wrestler dominating.

[akanaz]

way to go judging some one of one fight.

[kingfbi]

Kid did mediocre here i admit but u should see his old fights. he is awesome. :)

[pitzer4321]

fuck this ass clown joe warren, kid showin respect in the begining of the fight and this joe warren douch shoves kid's arm away,,i hope he gets what is comin to him it wasnt even a brutal win ,,a split decision cuz he got some points on the grounds and kid recked him on stand up,

[doogiepwr]

Yeah showin respect by shooting a bow and arrow at him when he enters the ring. He needs to stick to fighting japan fighters. He cant get with american wrestling. He run up, he get done up.

[pitzer4321]

shooting a bow and arrow at him!?!? ROFL!!! that move was part of a ram muay,kid is a big muay thai practitioner and thats actually a respect thing

... a bow and arrow *shakes head* why the hell did i even comment on youtube

[CSchruppNMU]

What do you mean he can't get with American wrestling? He's a world champ in greco roman. And he would have been in the olympics last year had he not gotten in trouble.

[CSchruppNMU]

Who cares? Ass clown? Ass clowns don't win world titles. HA. Obviously you don't know much about Joe.

[odus]

No, Kid did not reck him standing. Kid landed some good shots but Warren has a strong chin so it barely fazed him. Warren himself did well standing in the clinch by landing some good knees and dirty boxing.

[alonsitosk8]

kid esta acabado

[wave0730]

joe is great fighter！

[fahdelgheriani]

joe is a fag

[BananaOrangeBerry]

Was Warren allowed to stick his hands in Kid`s cut, eyes, and mouth? Is that ok in Dream?

[odus]

Covering the opponents mouth to make it difficult for them to breathe is legal in MMA. But I didn't see Warren sticking his fingers into Kid's eyes or cut.

[lvdjn]

cola esse filha d p do kid...

i don know whe da heck is this joe warren but did good work... i dont like kid....
