      Severely overweight people (a la butterbean) have a hard time rolling over. If you are large enough you can keep them down with good technique. Then it's just a matter of draining their stamina which happens faster the larger the body is.

      @@justaneditygangstar If memory serves, he was only given a couple months to train it max, I think a single month.

    One thing I really want to emphasize is after the match was over, it looked like Minowa wanted to help Butterbean up. There was a true sense of sportsmanship here between these two and I really admire that. It seems to be lost in the modern trash-talking era of professional fighting.

    In Dying Light 2 those well executed drop kicks would have sent Butterbean into next week but he swatted both of them off damn

    Only thing inthink of seeing old fights from Pride Fc is that its Sadly UFC can bring the magic Pride FC once had.

    Incredible. And I’m a Butterbean fan… but an absolutely incredible win.

    For the lack of damage inflicted to either fighter, this might as well have been a strict grappling match.

      Butter bean got full force dropkicked in the face, he just has an insane chin. Second one clearly missed but first one hit clean

      ​@@anonymoose2474🤓☝️ he technically blocked it didn't hit his chin but I guess his hand hit his chin

    • @anonymoose2474

      Freeze frame it. One hand "blocked" one foot, the other is directly on his eye socket/forehead. And that kind of "block" isn't how you block a kick, so it wouldn't even matter, but regardless, it is literally center mass of his face unblocked@@vegetablackpotato4700

    Good commentary. At 4:08 Butterbean looks like he's getting gassed.
    Congratulations Minowa.

    He knows he cannot strangle the man with no neck so he tries to surprise him.
