Fight of the Day: Ray Sefo vs. Min Soo Kim

There are so many things about this video that confuse me — the three-minute first round, the standing 8-count, the "hey, no hitting!" stoppage at 2:39 — but basically what you're watching here is kickboxer Ray Sefo beat the crap out of Min Soo Kim in Sefo's MMA debut at K-1 Hero's 2 (7/6/05). If you're an expert on K-1 history, let us know if the Hero's rules were all screwy in the promotion's early days, or if they're using a hybrid kickboxing/MMA rule-set to ease Sugarfoot Sefo into the world of MMA. Anyway, despite his serviceable grappling, Kim is basically knocked out twice at the beginning of the second round — once by a kick, once by a punch. Since Sefo (along with roommate Jan Nortje) just joined Xtreme Couture's fight team, we'll hopefully see more beatings like this in the future.
