I love those old school PRIDE FC fights.
🤝
Yes ❤
Dude beat up the gentle giant who thought he was there to do a photo shoot.
He was confronted once by Winny the Kid
This just made me feel sad for Giant Silva, he really didn’t seem quite with it the whole time. I salute both fighters, but this gave me sad Andre the Giant vibes.
Same. I think he's just too gentle to be a fighter.
@@ibanez2010 The dude is almost 60!
@@FordPickUPRedwell yeah now, not at the time 😭
Acho que até eu treinando valendo durante uns três meses ganho desse grandalhão,😅, isso que tenho só 1,70 kkk
I would have loved to see Andre the giant in the UFC.😮
A bit before his time but He probably would have dominated it with his size and strength
The toll that being a giant takes on you body makes fighting almost impossible. People criticizing him are ignorant.
Why impossible?
@@wojtekpawlowski5660 It’s not impossible, but giants have a lot of physical issues. Against a competent fighter, they don’t stand much chance.
I think he has the same affliction Andre the Giant had. He seemed not to have any fight savy at all. Very sad.
@@wojtekpawlowski5660 the design of the human body had limits to weight and stress, even if everything is proportionate, it's just not designed to be that big ( if an ant grew 1000 times bigger, the legs would snap from the weight of the body)
@@markboudreau1410 But Andre the Giant had more flexibility (until his later years) and was a lot stronger plus knew how to fight.
まじ懐かしい....テレビにかじりついてみてました。
Amazing move 👏🏻
PRIDE never dies👊🏼 i actually enjoy watching the freakshow fights
Joe Rogan would think differently.
@@jeffstanthose slobbin on dat rogan knob
@@jeffstanthose What does he know?
if Giant Silva had the range of motion of his limbs as a normal person, and good mobility all round he would be a threat for sure, but the guy could barely move. get him on his back and he`s like a tortoise, just flailing.
Как мешок С гомном
That move by the Japanese guy was impressive. I've never seen that before
Tony Ferguson did it as well as conor mcgregor in his fight against Holloway
That rolling single leg
I thought it a very dangerous move considering he was close to getting avalanched. I haven't seen either of these fighters before, I assumed Silva would go for leg strikes right away. shrugs.
ゴング鳴って起き上がった時のシルバの「痛～…」みたいなの可愛いwww
No matter how big you are, we feel pain and get broken bones the same way mostly. Still, super impressive how a guy literally half the size dominated the Giant!
Literally half the size would be 3' 6"
He wasn't fighting a qualified opponent. This was just show, kind of sad , like exploitation.
@@RodCalidge people are not using the term literal correctly
Being shorter he was able to sneak those knees in, it was like silva had only very little training anyway
Giant Silva didn’t even look like he wanted to fight lmao
He does not want to fight, he is a giant but sensitive. He seems like a really nice person who was used and abused by people who exploited him financially!
Nope, he definitely wasn't into it
Wanted to get paid, which he did. Didn’t take too bad of a beating.
@@adip6476 I'll bet he is a great guy, kind of sad to get in that spot where you could use the money.
David contre Goliath. Ikuhisa est un excellent combattant !
Damn this was amazing in how savage and raw it is. This reminds me of how I viewed Pride FC/Japanese MMA as the Raw Underground version of UFC. That awesome front roll into the leg takedown is something from a videogame.
Although slow, Silva has power and his body size makes submissions nearly impossible
GIANT have an great Heart!
Yeaah i like u upload pride n strikeforce fight
Wow. Sick fight!
this guy brings WWE-like entertainment into real fight, he's a Giant Slayer 😄
The real giant Slayer
Pride never die
Dead.
どっちもカッコいい
Respect for my favorite wrestler choosing to do UFC
Mixed Martial Arts*
Seeing Minowa taking on Tony Robbins (ahem* Silva) is the best motivating lesson one could ever have.
I don't think many people know who you're referring too, I guess you're right though, I always wondered about that. Shame, I wish we were all perfect. shrugs...
GIANT Silva is a very nice guy 😉
Minowa shows great respect to his opponents
Silva didn't look like he wanted to fight at all. Meanwhile the other gentleman is going all out.
Помню когда был подростком смотрел и удивлялся этому парню красавчик
The proverbial David vs Goliath. Love it. I respect both combatants. Osu.
the best stoppage ever....oh....
ただデカイだけで呼ばれた謎レスラー
Boz: "For the next three minutes I will pretend that this is not a work."
I'm only 5'6" and love these because it shows how bad an idea it is to fuck with the little guy.
Yeah, but this could have easily turned into a disaster for him, no offence to Silva, but it was like jumping under an elephant , things could have gone very wrong for him. 😄
Luar biasa bisa mengalahkan orang yg tidak sepadan ow luar biasa👍👍👍👍👍
The thumbnail like so others looks like CLICKBAIT, but it's NOT!!! LOL
Wow dudes & dudettes I almost forgot about Giant Silva now this Giant use to be in WWF Era knowing it took two different Pro Wrestling Trainers such as: [Dory Funk Jr & Tom Prichard] to train Giant Silva but this Giant didn't stick around the Pro Wrestling business and went off to become a MMA Fighter but this big dude took a crash course in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under: [Ralek Gracie] training but surprisingly this dude is still around and kicking it still at his age of 60 but it was surprisingly he lost to a shorter dude name: [Ikuhisa Minowa] but I respect this Giant dude that he came this far like any other fighters before him he did what he set out to do to make it happen for himself but the beginning of this Giant career he should have taken up Boxing training or Kickboxing or both Boxing & Kickboxing trainings to really hold his own against any other mma fighters but Surprisingly he still holding his own with both Pro Wrestling & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but now or days he is retired let's just he's been retired since 2011 he'll be my kind of a mma fighter always don't you think so dudes & dudettes.!?¡¿ ♤♡♧◇€£₩¥☆
No I don't. He's a 1 and 5. this was sad and exploitive. He was fighting legit mma guys and could've been hurt. He was basically an ameture going against pros.
i think silva is scare of hurting him i can tell he could use a lot more power
Minowaman king of the freak fights.........always fighting and usually beating the bigger man
Giant Silva needs to go to the WWE.
GREAT FIGHT
The BIG man was just way too sluggish and slow and the little guy had great take down skills with all knees and elbows is all it took !!!
@Jeffery Elliott: Every fight I've been in was up against a guy biggee than me, as I'm 5'6". Not that I go looking for them, but when I have no choice to defend my self my speed was always my winning advantage. Don't fuck with the little dude!
Looked like giant should have decked him in the beginning. Impressive.
Left the Giant crying even after the very quick one round! 😂🤣😅👊
Is this staged.Its worse than WWE with Andre the giant
Andre the giant reincarnation
真に超人
🤔Giant lasted longer than I thought he would last! 🦂
3:50 dude is a legit mortal combat commentator, he wants to see blood!!!
Aww big guy is clearly disabled 😭😭 He got the same disease that Jaws and Andre the Giant had
Yes. A form a giantism. It is heartbreaking how young they tend to die at that size
@@zabukoii8081 yes I agree, I knew a guy that went college with the same thing, and he was depressed af about it
@@zabukoii8081 The organs have to work so damn hard to keep that body alive. It is a sad defect.
Combinado
Giant Silva looks like his pants are ready to fall down
Красавчик!
Giants Silva worked as a bouncer in NYC on Bleeker Street
If watching a fight was a fever dream......🥴
big dude is wearing the sweatpants he slept in
lmao, I was wondering about that too.. haha Seems like a nice guy though, I hope he is doing well.
Giant Silva is Carles Puyol’s big brother 😂
Just the size difference makes this look like a kid fighting his dad lol
poor giant, he was beat up by this bully in red tights
lol
Who doesn't like watching butterbean or the Giant Silva😊💪
Silvas foot is the length of his shin!
A knee to the head when grounded is allowed? Brutal.
Those were the times when rules weren't so strict, that's why you can have fights like this with a bigger guy versus smaller fighter.
Why no UFC for 2 weeks?
Wow 👍
It a mind thing think and move like a ninja is all in the brain no matter the size or strength
I don't understand why the giant doesn't seem to want to fight??
The giant is more of a freak show than a fighter. He hasn't had much of a career as a professional fighter, with his record being mostly made up of losses. He used to play basketball and was part of the WWF(now WWE).
Ikuhisha wins but that seemed like huge mistake to almost get trapped under Silva. I've never seen Silva fight, I assumed he would go for leg strikes, I guess he's a grappler.
Silva would've done better in the World Wrestling Federation. I think the only reason he didn't have a shot there was because it was the Attitude Era. If he'd arrived a few years earlier and was promoted as an unstoppable monster, he would've been a lot more successful in the west.
Minowa deserve credit for cunning and wise plan to shoot for the leg by faking over hand round house punch everytime he begin squatting. And then he opened giants face to massive knee shot by getting giant fosused on painful gut bombs. He had a good plan and it rolled out well.
Kinda reminds me of Andre the Giant
Silva reminds me of wrestler Adam Sandourski
Высокий на Глушко, нашего тарзана похож.
Seriously people fall for this is this the WWE of Japan??
If that big dude went hiking or fishing, guarantee he'd get shot because someone thought he's a Sasquatch.
すいません！ プロレスってパフォーマンスを見せる格闘技かと思っていたけど、 最強かも。 異種格闘技に取り組んでもっと格闘技界を盛り上げてほしい。
The great Khali 's brother😮😅😅😊
it'd be probably a better fight against Hongman Choi 😅 edit: ok they already fought before, which was more entertaining
Yo… the big guy looks like Andre the Giant and Dee Snider Had a love child….!!!!!
That look like a giant snapping turtle fighting a chihuahua. Got the big fellow on his back and he could not recover
Giant silva reminds me of andre
A more appropriate sport for the big guy might be exhibition wrestling.
He was a WWE wrestler back in '98. Couldn't hack it there, either.
I guess it's possible to be too big to fight. Guy just stood still and couldn't bring himself to even try to move away when the other guy came with the takedown.
Японец наверно в духе самурая воспитан. Победи любой ценой😂
Muy bien por el DERRIBADOR DE GIGANTES
He moved as well as his friend Khali
Imagine the two of them fighting for real.....and you know if Pride had never went out of business they would have tried their damndest to make that match.
David vs Goliath
Бедный Леонтьев))))
This was a joke...They should be ashamed

Dee Snider is bigger than I thought! But he's not gonna take,No he aint gonna take ,anymore!
This was entertaining say the least
たしか、シルバ選手のうなじを切ると、ピースの又吉さんに戻るんですよね？
Great sportsmanship shown after the fight by both sides. Respect to both fighters! And those Japanese ring girls are so damn sexy & beautiful. There's just something very appealing about pretty Asian ladies.
まさにジャイアントキル！
this japanese guy is COURAGEOUS AND IMPRESSIVE
Big man didn't even throw a punch. This fight was rigged.
Специально выбрали мешка
lol
