Who's NEXT for "Sexyama"?
😂😂
Retirement Home? He is 44!
@@cannibrel is experience makes the age not to matter
@@prestigebro4390 health concern: his chin is depleted from repeated wars tho

Akiyama straight up looking like a character out of Tekken 😂
😂👍
Goldeberg
Wat supplements is akiyama on cause his a beast
💉💉💉
HEIHACHI LMAO
This Akiyama just oozes experience. Patiently waited for his moments like a pro.
yea akiyama is in another level
I’m just glad you used his name in this sentence. 😂
I hate it that sherif gassed himself out in the first by throwing big shots early in. Something outside of the ring must have happened in order for him to not properly prepare.
@@mosescola4174 he might have just been nervous. akiyama is dangerous everywhere and more experienced.
Yes while the other guy rushed in out of control he had a good counter
You could tell that Mohamed thought that Akiyama was an easy opponent to defeat and that he could just easily charge him to finish him off. Akiyama had great patience and just worked at chopping down his legs until he could find the right blow! Hopefully, Mohamed learns from this fight that you never understimate your opponent!
personally, I d9ubt he underestimated him; probably just figured his best chance was in power and enforcing his will... didnt work out and he got picked apart. who knows tho...
The guy sheriffo has just poor tecnique and can punch that's it, that maybe works at low level but not against someone like akyama..
@@dirtfalconi4779 he definitely did. when akiyama went to him to hug it out he did not want to look him in the eyes and acknowledge akiyama. and during the announcement as well. his behavior and body language is so telling. he looked down on akiyama before the fight
Him charging like that for the most part seems to be just his pure lack of skill and inexperience against higher level opponents. He seems to not have the basics of even throwing & winding his punches correctly when he charged. Akiyama might be old, but his superior experience and skill still made up for it.
Finish him
Best looking 46 year old in the world? What a legend. Doesn’t look like most fighters that are shells of themselves at 46. Real inspiration.
he has absolutely nun special there
46?! Is that confirmed? He looks so much younger.
It's the legend of sexyama.
juiced to the teeth.
@@Spychopunk2077 I would like to receive the same "treatment" he has.
Akiyama looks like a Yakuza series boss fight 😭 old in the face but absurdly ripped after he takes his suit off.
KIRYU CHAN!!!

whos here after watching Netflix physical 100 ?
Meee😂😂
Yooo😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Ahaha mee
Me😊
Akiyama is a beast, dude is a leader as shown on physical 100 and an absolute vet at mma.
Mohamed looks like he's had about a week total of training in his life.
Terrible technique, i guess he coasted to the pros using pure strenght and athleticism
Sounds like the commentators couldn't really see what was happening either. Akiyama's boxing defense was almost on point after getting clipped at the end of the first blitz. The rest looked so easy to deal with for him.
😂😂😂
Mohamed almost only fought against novices for his wins. But that may be because MMA is probably just really niche in Egypt. So he essentially is a can crusher. ONE loves to keep a healthy supply of these guys around ..... Can crushers are almost always the same: They either win on sheer physicality or have a degree of grappling prowess, that most beginners don't (or any combination of the two) .... and that's typically about it. Since they just fight absolute beginners or complete chumps, these can crushers almost always pick up really bad habits, that work against their subpar competition ... but fail them miserably, once they run into anybody, who knows what he is doing. That was on full display here. Overpacing himself, chasing after his opponent with his head not moving off center, following his opponent around without any resemblence of cutting the cage in half .... As soon as Akiyama shook off the first surprise by his wild approach, Mohamed was doomed.
@@MightyJabroni Oooh thanks for the insight. That fighter selection from ONE probably also explains why the commentators weren't really pointing out the vast difference in quality of technique.
Mohamed looked like he got coached via Zoom meeting 😂😂
I didn’t stop laughing after I read your comments .
😂🤣
Genius comment
haha brilliant
😂 he's basically a slugger, with no real boxing training.
As soon as Akiyama survived the first few flurries, then landed his first hard leg kick I knew it was all down hill for Mohamed from there
As a straight guy, someone give this guy the sexiest man award
😂😂
For 44 he looks…. Fit
@@godsmacked1000 super fit mashallah
he called sexy-yama for a reason
yes ''straight''
Less than an hour ago, I never even heard of Akiyama. What a human machine! I am not a fighter, but it feels as though I learned a lesson from this man. And, dare I say, if I had a body like that, I would not be fighting, I would be on the beach. Akiyama the Master!
I am a fighter. I had to keep looking at the vid to see that hit.
I can see you're a casual from what you say Akiyama is a veteran with career both in judo and mma. He is known and criticized for being a dirty fighter (like using too much Vaseline to avoid getting grappled) and also for having beach muscles which are not exactly functional
@99Gara99 Self-confessed Casual, checking in. Thanks for info, good stuff! 👍
@@99Gara99 Those muscles are super useful because they intimidates his opponents.
Ironically he got that body from fighting
It’s like Mohammed was running and he stepped over an incoming bucket he didn’t see until last minute, but caught the top of the bucket and tripped 🤣 and ko himself
Lol
looks like every time he checks it's like he's trying to kick the bucket off lol
Funniest description yet 😂
Winner by KO , the floor mat!!! with a solid hit to the left side of chin.
damn that bucket, said Sherif.
Nice to see Mohamad using the old Bart Simpson attack , "I'm guna swing my arms , if you walk into it, it's your own fault " 😅
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Seriously these guys can’t fight
The fuck was thatttttttt
HAHAHA
Homer, ok pie I’m gonna walk towards you like this and if u get in my way you’ll get eaten. A classic Simpson sketch
I've never seen someone still running while knocked out.
😁😁😄😄😄😄😄
It was like he stepped into a gopher hole. 😂
It was like a vodoo doll was used. His left leg was done with the fight.
I thought his knee blew out bc of that last leg kick. Lol he was all effed up
yeah it looks more like his leg gave out than a knockout, but that punch rocked his head pretty good.
for a moment I thought the leg gave up, it was already in very bad shape, then I saw the replay and what a precise punch right on the sleep button
When they say “is that all you’ve got”, you’re close to knocking them out.
Yeah, as soon as I saw him acting like that I knew that Akiyama was likely to win as long as he kept doing what he was doing.
Respect for "sexyama" 😁for still being able to fight at a top level at 44
Coz he is NURUNURU
Top level? Sherif is 9-6 and zero of those six wins come against an opponent with a winning record. Straight can and still gave sexyama a hard time. I did enjoy seeing the respect and humility from sherif though.
@@ddespair he's not top in league, but he's in top league...
It’s human growth hormones
That’s sexyama?! Holy smokes I haven’t heard from him in a long time !!
Sexyama was timing that right hand beautifully, kept sneaking it in after the first few bullrushes
My first thought was Sharif’s knee gave out, until he boneless chickened the landing. Credit to Akiyama for the amazing punch while moving quickly backward.
Old. But not obsolete. Much respect to Akiyama. \m/
OldER but not old 😉😉😉
the way Mohamed fells at the end, is exactly the way how this guy fighting..
Loooool
Ahahhahaha xD
I saw that coming. That dude was not trying to conserve any energy and put too much into his offense. I knew he would tire himself out and possibly get knocked out rushing in wildly like that
Yeah it kind of looked like his only strategy was aggression. Like he pushed forward a lot in the beginning but didn't actually land anything. I hope he learned from this though.
Mohamed: "Hey coach, how should I fight this match?" Coach: "Have you ever seen a windmill..."
😂... Elementary school fighting style
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Lol
This comment made day 😂😂
Akiyama was being so strategic This was like watching a real warrior fight
He wasn't fighting much!
@@polaris7122 That's why I mentioned the word "strategic."
Spent the entire first round literally running away. “Real warrior” 🙄
@@zebdawson3687 He wasn't just running away. He was finding out and calculating.
@@zebdawson3687 Well, it's strategic. Retreating and counter-attacking is also one of the strategy that bring you to victory
To those of you Young Bloods, Yoshihiro Akiyama had already fought in the UFC up and against Chris Leben, Michael Bisping, Vitor Belfort and Jake Shields.
Preciate it OG. I didn't know that at all✊🖤
Uh yeah but it's a shame he did actually lose to all of them though... back to back 4 fights in a row 💀💀. He did KO Sakuraba and beat Melvin Manhoef, Alan Belcher and Dennis Kang before that though
@@aceflowh9133 but still, worthy opponents though.
i still remember watching him get brutally beaten by Vitor from the nosebleed seats. most violent thing ive ever seen in real life 😖 glad he’s still fighting and looking sharp. his fight with Leben was one for the ages
why does he say in the interview this is the start if his career?
didn't notice the knockout at first, thought Mohamed just fell like lmao.
Yeah someone has to edit and remove the other guy ahah
I thought his leg snapped.
Egyptian guy throw punches like he is fighting 20 guys alone, something will connect sooner or later🤣 can't stop laughing
Thats what happen when press a button repeatedly fast.....
Lmao I cracked to this comment 💀😭🤣
Lol underrated comment
Sexyama: “There’s levels to this my friend.”

TRT sexyama
@@RickyLafleur10 Exactly....juiced to the gills😅
3:04 Sherif putting his arms out like: Yeah that one hurt, and I've gassed myself out already. You win, and you know it.
I didn't realize this, but AkiYama is 45 years old. Dude is in great shape.
Do they allow trt overseas
@@ryan8430 ye
There's several people in their forties that are in good shape great shape actually think of Romero and Floyd Mayweather for example
He's on the sauce 💉
@@trhoades2063 u dont sleep a guy as big as sheriff on the backfoot with one punch when u roided
Egyptian dude brute force his way thru volume punches, tiring himself out. Akiyama played smart in keeping his distance while dodging those bombs until the egyptian got tired. Dunno why people say he is running, akiyamas age is 44 and his chin has been depleted by repeated wars in his prime so why the hell would he stand and trade.
He wasnt tired. He just stupidly repeated the same flurry every time. You can see Akiyama finding the timing for his counter right several times before. I think it was his 3rd or 4th try wich was successfull.
@@foxredt2 no matter, exhaustion is minutes away, you can see his punches in volume, thats a good way to tire yourself out. On akiyama part, he performed well finding that timing while stalking the dude
I'm no mix martial artist but why do they look so stiff while fighting? Comparing to those fights I saw from ufc this looks kinda stiff.
@@gabrielp6372 they’re older and bigger, mass makes you slows. So does age.
Disclaimer : " NO PED TESTS WERE PERFORMED B4 or AFTER THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO".

Usman roid gut is obvious too....
Ready for TRT Vitor to show up and clean house xD
He is a beast. So glad Netflix had the Physical 100. There are so many incredible athletes around the world. I was awestruck! They should definitely do another one in a different part of the world
he's in the physical 100 series on netflix
yeee 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Whats the topic of that series?

After that leg kick he was demoted all the way down to deputy
@David Masters you never coming back then
Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aki's a beast! beautiful leg kick to destroy his leg used his cage knowledge to perfection massively underrated ability to counter going backwards serious technique 👌
Yoshihiro Akiyama looks and fights great for his age. Real warrior.
Sherif fights like a Totally Accurate Battle Simulator character
See that one coming a mile away… rushing forward the whole time is an easy counter all night long… ok to do it certain times but can’t be the only thing you can do is swing for the fences… looks good on him! Nice one Akiyama!
yeah, looked stiff and was way too aggressive.
I seen it as well, he took his best hits; knew he’d gas out and served him up
He walked right into that right, and all of his own body weight and energy was used against him.
Respect for the man, in that ring he's already 45!
I was thinking that he needs to improve his cardio, but yeah, i totally forgot he's 45 xD
He on that TRT.... Looks ripped !

yeeee🤟🤟🤟🤟
That one kick had that “Egyptian” making life decisions lol.
That body kick?
@@natedavis1087 I think it was the leg kick that paused him, and apparently was bad enough to have him crumple as he tried to press forward again.
brings new meaning to the phrase "walk like an Egyptian"

Sexyama has back muscles that Arnold would be proud of! 👏👏👊👊
This is the first time I saw Akiyama fight. Real life RYU ! This dude just made a fan out of me yo !
Sexyama laughed when they said his nickname.
Having a guy say it tho 😭
Hahahahahaha!!! “Sexy Yama” 🤦🏽♂️🤣
Mohammed needs to calm tf down, your game plan at this level can't be "head down, swing for the fences and hope for the best" cause any fighter with sufficient octagon intelligence or fight iq will easily dismantle him
I was laughing about how bad this fighter was then he got knocked out by an old man
@@mackaroffryuma6500 hahaha same. I mean sexy Yama is no slouch but he's old and looked slow. Mohammed was just a bad fighter
Sexyama is a legit fighter.
Yep 😂, that was his strategy
bro are you blind this ain't an octagon
Here after Physical 100!
whos here cos of physical 100?
Loved how Akiyama walked back nonchalantly to “his” position in the center of the ring @3:16 to resume the fight 🙂
Very relaxed and calculating.Other guy is tuff but he is just a raging wild bull.The winner is more patient calculative and expirienced imo.
High IQ vs. low IQ.
3:38 when you came for the fight but stayed for the anatomy lesson
lol
Physical 100 brought me here
The respect u r showing to Ur opponent is really great... it can easily fill my eyes into tears.... salute u sir Akiyama From India
Never heard of him, but I would have been real sad if Sexy Yama lost
casual? Welcome to the sport kid!
Sexy Yama looks so old now
kiddo

He's 44. That's actually kind of amazing
I don't know why but my laugh burst out when Akiyama knocked out Mohamed
It's the one and a half steps he took that got me
The way he got ko. 😂
Ha ha, he looked very old
He was flailing all over the place 😆
We all did :-D
These guys sportsmanship is fist class. Much respect.
The respect at the end is really nice to see and makes this sport wholesome for the most part
You have to love that Mohamed's getting mad that the other guy isn't just standing there taking his bull-rush shots to the face... The fact Mohamed is a professional fighter and all he has is a bull-rush forward throwing punches like a madman technique, that is ridiculous! If not for being all roided out, that guy would not be anywhere...
That was impressive.Knocked him down while moving backwards. It looked like he tripped as he went down.
Anderson Silva also did that against Forrest Griffin.
@@agauerm I think the leg kick he reacted to messed up his leg more than you imagine. That KO punch wasn't one he literally fell when his leg didnt work
@@Jabarri74 Yea, you can see the guy limping slightly after one kick on his leg. I think his leg just didn't work the way he wanted anymore after that.
That punch has power and speed. Very impressive for walking backwards
@@Jabarri74 true his leg was numb, probably the kick looks like no power,. but inside the kick of sexyama crippled him,.
추성훈 선수 정말 대단하네요... 끝없는 도전 응원합니다~
Here after watching physical 100 😁
Mohamed looks like he’ll have a successful career as an unranked UFC heavyweight.
He is arab. He wont last long lol
He will be lucky to not get seriously injured if he stays in it! Hell, I felt I would have a good chance of beating him and I’m half his size lol
This guy is probably the worst fighter I’ve seen I a current major mma promotion, maybe a few from rizin are worse but this was just unfair
Maybe with guys like Artem.

Experience. Textbook knockout. Bided his time, exhausted his opponent, and seized on an opportunity. Well done.
Anyone else here after watching Physical 100??!
According to Akiyama's camp representative, he missed 2 scheduled tanning sessions which may have led to a slow start against his latest opponent.
lmao, top comment
he didn't miss a single test shot though
He never missed a shot though, that's why he dropped homie 💪
Damn that’s it! he definitely looked a couple shades too light.

That leg shot at 3:33 was gnarly. Solid contact.
Damn! he's 45 and I can't believe that he's still active!!!
Dude fights exactly like "Lousy" Rhonda Rousey. Lost exactly the same way too.
Even Rousey's more coordinated than this guy, I've never seen such terrible strategy and form before
Who's here after Physical 100? 👀
44yr old and still going, great man👍
Such a satisfying KO. I hate when strength based fighters just bull rush the whole time.
Jup
What are you, an intellect fan? You posh like that? Bulls are entertaining
No they need to nerf sexyama speed .. too op
Akiyama owned that fight. The kicks. The counters. The timing 👏 👊
Yup, timing is always hard to follow. He definately has good timing.
well not the Akiyama did well but his opponent was just way too weak.
@@user-iu1tg8yq2q ehh no Akiyama did do well...owned the fight
The patience for the other fighter to wear himself out. No defense and relatively slow, but powerful punches. Just needed to wait for the right time after he wore himself out some so he could side step and counter. One quick hit with the thin UFC gloves is all it takes.
Wait... dude spent almost the entire first round literally running away (not even backing up or taking a step back, literally running away from the fight with the commentators commenting on it). How is that “owning the fight”? Like, I get it if you love this dude (I’ve never heard of him) and are just being positive, but the way he ran for most of the fight while being chased down and taking shots to the face, doesn’t exactly equate to “owning the fight” in ANY sense of the term. 🤷🏻♂️
Pray I look like this at 44 dude a freaking unit 👊🏽
I discovered him through the new Korean Netflix reality competition series: 100 🤩
5:25 that was the most evil way of saying “For your winner”. Like he was a scheming baddie in a cartoon
