Hi Ken!

No. His sub game was very basic actually, he was just twice as strong as everyone he was up against in pancrase.

Why don’t YOU post the while sequence
While his strength was certainly a big part of his success, that doesn’t mean his leg submissions weren’t slick.
He also had a legit leg scissor, which is rare in MMA.

I knew what you meant.
He had one of the GOAT entrance themes.

i always felt ken was great because of what other people didn’t know about submissions. he knew how to leg lock people when the world had barely heard of an armbar. once the sport caught up a little and he wasn’t one of the only guys with submission experience is when he started to struggle.

That’s not what happened.
Ken didn’t “struggle” until after he went to the WWF for 3 and a half years, re-injuring his neck in the process.
Ken’s comeback struggles were defined by injuries more than anything.
In the 90s he was dominant.
You can use lack of specific knowledge to help describe the success of several fighters from the pioneer era.
Look at Royce Gracie.

I would say Sifu Ferguson, but he was the Prince of Leg Locks

He wasn’t the Prince of Leglocks. That was Robert Ferguson. Remember? (Someone beat me to it)
