This is when we knew Rudimar didn’t give a shit if one of his fighters died.

That fight made zero sense for Ninja and all he got out of it was brain damage.

Hokit reminds me of that Ninja, the body type, the movement (unsteady on his feet).

What did ninja weigh during that fight?

I can see the hokit comparison physically, but hokit has an ace up his sleeve with his wrestling, that ninja did not have.

He was 220ish

Ninja bulked up to heavyweight for the GP.

Mostly by eating pies.

Because he’s about as consistent as Juiced, Jesus, TRT And Non TRT Vitor.

This fight at the time was the quintessential example of a LHW moving up to HW the wrong way and finding out HW Power is just different than all the other weight classes
