“Drunken jutsu is totally a viable martial art.” Melvin Mannhoef: “NO.”

[@omarramo8008]

Second punch was soooo satisfying

[@plantiron]

Dude won the annoyance award. I know Bruce Lee said *be like water* but this was too much.

@@quackquackimaduck2199No you. The fact that you make this a focus on race actually indicates that ur woke af and completely anti-racist.

Hahahaha 🤣😅🤣😅

[@jornpop7973]

I think there was a psychological conflict within Melvin during this fight, the bizarre movements and delaying pacing of Ryo seemed to have unsettled him

[@felixnatanael7136]

Really dont understand about the style. His stance was so far, even beyond his own reach. The head movement was very active but only when not in contact, looks like just for show. To me, it shows a lot of doubt. The KO sequence show it all, he was in doubt whether wants to shoot or not, and ended up offering his head to Manhoef.

[@moctezuma_2]

Knocked him out, then he woke up, then he knocked him out again 🤣

[@TammyBundleballs]

Ooof nice one! That last hammer fist must have done a lot of damage.

[@Shyny_Yordy]

ONE has some... Unique fighters lol

[@Shyny_Yordy]

@Ryan Anderson yeah, cause now apparently I need to be a 3rd degree BJJ black belt & golden gloves boxing champion to tell when a fighter has a Unique style 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@letsmak3iteasy]

He's soften his body to prepare to hit the canvas.. what a fighter.

[@thatbroman6409]

Melvin got mad , mad him a lil hasty, but turned out well in the end , great fight

[@rolanpolinga4610]

Japanese guy feel like he is on anime until reality hit his face

[@jornpop7973]

He was supposedly performing the drunken monk stance but still impractical here

[@mamalannightshyaman]

Was Ryo trying to win by annoying Manhoef to death with that obnoxious fighting style?

[@hangry3102]

I think the style is viable but it takes a master to pull it off

need to watch melvin's fights in half playback speed to see what he's doing

El segundo golpe lo despertó para que vea lo que estaba pasando. Qué buen tipo es Manhoef

[@tsam3676]

That style is very effective just the way he was using was a little off but I see how good that style is

[@artsofallstar]

Yea on some in-depth stuff, he just wasn’t loose enough and was thinking to much

[@tsam3676]

@@artsofallstar he had him completely confused and could've knocked him out that's a genius style to develop if he mastered it

melvin's age is 42 old.. he is awsome guy 👍👍👍

Yeah but only 34 then. That was 2012

This man learned his style from a wacky inflatable tube man 😂

At least it was entertaining;)

Damn the Japanese guy got knocked out twice 😂 look at the last replay 😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

i don’t understand the hate towards this guy, he was just setting up for a ridiculous crossover

ALWAYS keep last least one hand up lol.

Its the kind of fight you see in the Yakuza franchise 😂

It was only a matter of time

This what happens when you take anime too seriously

[@hellodarkness5644]

Problem was he was too deep in to stop

[@hunggvan9996]

he look like a doll...kkkkk

[@sopretentious]

Too bad the ref stepped in so quick

[@criminaltotheworld3154]

That style would be more effective if he could transfer from the drunken style to conventional style throughout the fight. If you wanna see a better way to do it look up Emmanuel Augustus boxer

[@lkb4781]

That’s meisha Tate?

[@silentboy85]

early stoppage. should let at least two more punches

[@zmanx100]

Ryo Kawamura has an amazing style, completely unorthodox which allows you to strike while your opponent is essentially mesmerized, also your opponent cant telegraph your movements and will not be able to anticipate your next attack. Of course Manhoef is literally one of the best fighters of his era so he negated it with pure talent.

[@moctezuma_2]

Stfu there's no tact to what Ryo is doing. It may throw someone off for a round or two, but it's in no way a good fighting style.

[@umungus518]

Nah he "negated" it by realizing he was doing the exact same move he just did a minute earlier and wasn't protecting himself whatsoever. The fact that you think this "style" is amazing shows how little you know about mma. This guy is a clown

[@spearstrike211]

lmfao uh, no. Nothing amazing about his style, and his record shows as much. Ryo is 18-10-4 overall, with his wins coming over cans while his losses came to anyone who was *actually* a decent fighter. Dude was not a good fighter in the slightest, nor did he have “pure talent”. He was as average as they come.

[@8thsheet407]

Delete your comment boi!

[@kI-cq5xq]

Yea that’s not an amazing style. He fights like drunk guys at my local bar

[@legaspinozyaj8193]

At the start there is no action, it was so boring,. The management should pay them less

[@thatbroman6409]

That makes no sense, because one guy is nervous to engage ,less money? As a fighter ,thats totally unfair. As a fan, why would you care you wanna see them get KO'd. These are two humans fighting , not playing basketball, there are serious consequences in combat sports

[@soa9796]

THATBROMAN plus it’s their fight. Not the fans fight. They don’t fight for fans (most of the time). They are fighting for their own benefit

[@purujitnegi6906]

How was that boring, sure not too much contact but there was such good dodges. Probably its human nature to want more aggression.
