People nowaday only cares about MMA and Muay Thai. Kickboxing rules had degrade so much from it's golden days that a lot of weapons and technique are unusable. Especially the essential technique that make Kickboxing what it is, Muay Thai and Karate technique. You can elbow. Can't clinch. Can't teep opponent away. Can't use high jump move. And more...... It ruined the sports and interest.
having to fight 3 times in a single night to win a tourmanent creates different fights, you want it to end quickly so your more fresh in the next one. on top of that...the japanese crowd of the K1 or Pride time cant be matched. They worshipped the fighters.
@@megaham1552 thats less to do with K1 falling off. The whole sport of kickboxing has fallen off. Its still one of the top 5 kickboxing organisations in the world tho
Buakaw killed K1 lol Dana White knows he can only exert so much control of the outcomes of rhe UFC from a promotional standpoint. K1, and this can especially be seen with Buakaw, wanted to control their perception too greatly.
Buakaw pretty much destroy the prestige of all Japanese kickboxer when he won K-1. They used to claim that Japan is the strongest and the sole representative of Asian Martial Art scene after the downfall of Hong Kong Kung Fu scenes. Buakaw prove them wrong and brought Thailand and Muay Thai to the true world stage that day. Ending the Japanese domination in Martial Art business and ruin their career.
And just yesterday, it happened again. The very moment they bring Buakaw back into K-1. Those Yakuza-worshipper immediately change the rule to cut off his weapon. Not to mention locking him into fighting a Bulgarian Glory Contender who are already familiar with the new rule and was backed by Japanese-kickboxing camp. Once again. Buakaw proved just how and why K-1 could no longer compete against today's world giant like ONE Championship or UFC.
Andy Hug was a national hero here in Switzerland. He started a huge kickboxing boom and made K-1 famous over here. We would always watch all the tournaments on Eurosport.
Sad to see so little views on anything kickboxing related
You know any good channels or videos that talk about kickboxing?

I found peak K-1 more entertaining than any other combat sport

I grew up around a lot of the dutch K-1 champions and fighters. So to me K-1 is still the best fighting comp that ever graced the earth
K-1 was brutal
Thanks for watching let me know in the comments what you think.
Happy Holidays😊
K1 had bigger views than Pride
I just had my first amateur match under k-1 rules
Love it 💪
K1 is still active in Japan and is the best kickboxing promotion there along with RISE
It's not really as big as before though

@@DonMIFC how do we change that?
@@lightnang One fc bringing it back.
@@burningknuckle26 One FC has a lot of potential to make it big but they need to expand more into the west
I love k1 and still wainting for the tournament begin
This was awesome, I was thinking today about what happened to this promotion. Thank you.
I worked security at the Bellagio and loved working this event. Peter Aerts was my dude. Bad sob.
The 2014 Buakaw incident happened with newer owners, not the old FEG
Thanks for honouring K-1
Seriously cool video thank you 🙏🏻👏🏻
How come only 134 views?
Tell your friends😅
5:20 After all, he won. Haven't you seen the fight?
I heard they are reviving WG class including Heavyweight division.

I think fans found him boring, which led to K1 being biased against him and changing the ruleset. Similar with overeemand semmy schlit.
And just yesterday, it happened again.

Cheaters will never win the beat fighters. What are cheaters? Steroid users ☝️

*Obvious rigged matches,* plus rule change to favor japanese style of fighting.
