Katsunori Kikuno - I'll Be The Best - A Tribute

Katsunori Kikuno, likely my favorite fighter of all time. From his mummy stance to his creepy smile, everything about him is awesome. Right down to the fact he can stand and bang with Eddie Alvarez and get the better of the stand up exchanges.

I expect him to be the future of Japanese Lightweights; and eventually the Strikeforce Lightweight Champion. And you can quote me on that.

hahaha "lucky sub"!! a good grappler would have seen that armtriangle from a mile away. Kikuno is not a good grappler.

[JamesPante]

@PR00H Kikuno is a Karateka with little to no grappling skill. So he got subbed, not that big a deal.

Alvarez is touted as this amazing knock out striker who could barely even hit Kikuno who is criticized for his 'no tucked chin mummy stance'.

Lets be honest with each other. The American Striker got out struck and took down a gassed opponent in fear and got an arm triangle on inexperienced grappler. He has since worked on his submission defense.

A rematch would be interesting.

[JamesPante]

If it stays standing Kikuno would kill Alvarez, he already showed that.

Was a good fight, Eddie losing both rounds till he got that sub from Katsu gettin tired.

I'd like to see a rematch.

Keep adapting dude u can probably do damage if u go to ONE FC plus add arsenal like soccer kicks wow I can see this artist do damage.

@JamesPante I assume you are referring to his submission grappling, because his clinch grappling and top control are quite good, hes a karateka and a judoka.

[JustinThoj]

I've been a huge fan of his since I saw him take the DEEP title by droping Matsumoto...it's just a bummer he's gotta fight JZ now...i really like both guys and want both to win...but more likely Kikuno will take it.
