New Year’s Eve is always a glorious time in Japan. On top of the much subdued yet festive street parties all over Tokyo, we as fight fans have been treated with timeless year-ender events over the last two decades.
I’m sure you all have your favorites. Like when Fedor showed Mark Hunt how to properly finish a kimura in 2006. Or Ryo Chonan’s classic flying scissor heel hook finish on the great Anderson Silva in 2004.
The list of notable mentions goes on and on, but this one takes the cake for me.
