  • kenny monday is a monster.  he was a hero to my entire hs wrestling squad during this time.

  • as much as I like Monday, you have to call this match an upset just because going into the match Fadsaev was the man to beat for 8 years. 6 worlds and 2 olympics.....you had to consider him the favorite based on accomplishments.

  • The headlock Fadzaev used was a Dave Schultz signature move which Dave popularized 1/2 a decade earlier. He might have got it from Rickson Gracie - that's the rumor I heard. Truth, be told its more of a carotid artery choke than and esophagal choke and doesn't require that much strength but you have to cut an angle with it to make it work right.

  • KENNY MONDAY was also an undefeated MMA fighter who fought & won a major world title in like his 3rd mma fight. HE COMPETED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL with no exp & destroyed everyone he fought. KENNY MONDAY was & still is i believe the extreme fighting champions last welterweight champion. H said he was just truned off by the brutality of mma& in those days there was VERY LITTLE pay , TO THIS DAY HE WAS 1 OF THE MOST DOMINANT MMA COMBATANTS I HAVE EVER SEEN, not may ppl took a fight w KEENNY MONDAY

  • Fadzaev was awesome for years before and awesome here going up a weight class, not at his best years and wrestling somebody also great like Monday. On that headlock, LOTS of world class wrestlers, and even decent high school wrestlers can apply a perfectly legal headlock that is tortuous and will put you to sleep. It's not Jiu-Jitsu. Even I could do it during my 20's, now my shoulder is so decrepit I can't crunch like I used to. Hughes does it to Almaeda in the UFC.

  • @texaslonghornful not really, this is a technician that knows how to choke. you probably wouldnt have been able to tap, cuz you would have just passed out

  • @executionery4145 he chokes, thats how your supposed to do it

  • kenny is a pussy he was tapping whata bitch

  • how does fadzaev d his front headlocks

  • @MrSTAY4545 That's the stupidest fucking comment I've seen in a long time. You must be a white wangster kid on every black man's dick cause you want acceptance. Be yourself douchebag.

  • @Dussout u just hating kuz he black

  • he was taping at 44 seconds lol
