Who is the RJJ of K1?

Who are the fighters that rely more so on their athletic gifts rather than having great technical ability and can get away with making mistakes because of it, to the point where this becomes their style?

dont want to know about Schilt being huge btw. RJJ, not Valuev we're talking about here.

Ghita has been blessed with a rock jaw and insanely hard striking. Not quite the same as RJJ, but athletic gifts over raw skills.

Artem Levin fights with his hands all the way down

lol Levin is such a dickhead but its hilarious to watch him fight. When he beat Groenhart, he KO'd him with a knee, then broke into the goofiest, whitest dance ever.

Aussie

Levin is a good call. I don't wanna say Ghita cause he stands there in your face pummeling you with clean leg kicks and technical but powerful punches. He's very methodical. Is having a chin being an athlete? I'd personally disagree and say it's just biological.

I loves me some pure carnage. But, to be honest, it's Badr all the way. There is no doubt whatsoever that Badr or Saki will return to KB once they experience the top level of boxers. Badr's technique is absolutely disgraceful. Usually fighters pick up on tech throughout their career, but Badr seems to be losing it rapidly. He only relies on his ability to read his opponents strikes within a millisecond, and then he banks off of his reaction speed being quicker than his opponent. Once Spong gets used to his size, and fighting larger fighters, he will be absolutely unstoppable with these K-1 HW's. Every single one relies on half technique, and half power...

Who is Randolph Jarold Johnson, anyway?

Can't agree with Badr... his technique sort of went downhill with Mike's Gym, but that raw aggression boxing came out... but in his early days, like when he Leko-bustered that Crout faggot, he looked like a 100kg version of Buakaw with raw Muay Thai, then he evolved his game over the years to what it is here. He started off being probably the most technically sound HW out there though

He wasn't nearly as technical as you make him out to be. Just a lanky , angry kid , with excellent kickboxing overall. Power and speed too. What more can you ask ? But it's hillarious to say he was the most technically sound HW. What does that make Ignashov ? A god ?

A drunk bastard

Badr was more of a kicker when he was in Chakuriki,when he went
to Mike's gym he was turned into a boxer.I believe his style is very complete
now,that being said he could always bring back the kicks if he wanted too IMO,but that wont matter in the future anyway
