During the first two years of Pancrase, both Funaki and Suzuki could beat anyone at will. Once injuries and Technique from their opponents caught up, this was no longer the case. Funaki worked Ken, while Ken shot on Funaki. Bas Rutten shared a similar sentiment.

[@TheJTK123]

The way he under hooked his arm and kind of reversed the takedown at 6:43 was sick!

7:17 Funaki probably contemplating the fact that three years earlier in the UWF(reborn) dojo he ragdolled and easily submitted Shamrock during Shamrock's 2nd tryout multiple times (as did Suzuki) and now Shamrock's skill in Japanese Catch as Catch Can combined with his unmatched athleticism has surpassed his. Must have felt like Dr. Frankenstein when his creation got out of his control LOL.

[@great1006]

Yeah funaki did because,Shamrock had been going for over an hour and 30 minutes that's the only way that funaki could have submit him

Frank Shamrock was great too. They all liked each other very much. They are great guys. True gentlemen.

A lot of these Japanese fighters are very good at defense.

[@shooter7734]

At that time when the japanese young boys joined the dojo they weren't shown much offense at first during sparring they were expected to learn constant defense and blocking submissions before they started learning offense, In many cases learning offense from having it done to them as they practiced and learned defense first. As a result as you observed they developed very good defensive skills.

Actually Kenny wasn't "juiced", anyone who knew him at that time(which I did) knows how naturally developed he was. He was a gym rat and workout fanatic. There were other times later in his career that he was huge. Most guys just don't have that physique, therefore some people have to complain to feel better about themselves. He was a stud and pioneer in the sport. He deserves that credit.
