Genki was winning the standup, and Kid isnt on Genki's level of BJJ in the first fight, the stoppage was BS.. who do you all think would of won tho? I cant make up my mind cuz Genki was winning the standup in that fight.. I think 2 out of 3 times Kid wins.. but im talking about this particular fight?

I think Genki would have won. That call was total ass.

Even today Genki might still win.

Genki should have won. he was bigger, with decent standup, and much better grappling, he stayed on the ground because he wanted Yamamoto to step into his guard.

the call ruined a very important fight for both of them, a test against the only other relevant fighter in the division.

Exactly, I think you nailed it.. it was a very important fight for both of them and you could see that especially in Genki, he didnt play around once that fight.. he was all business and I dont think you can find another fight where Genki had looked so motivated. He was robbed horribly in that fight, it doesnt get talked about enough but watching it the other day reminded me of what a big fuck up that was.

Genki... but kid is still cooler and p4p better.

I really cant say, probably Kid but its hard cuz Genki was so friggin motivated, and can you name one other fighter who can stick as many disciplines to his name as Genki? Greco wrestling, Folk wrestling, kickboxing, BJJ.. the guy knows it all and he brought it all to the table vs Kid, along with his size advantage so its hard to say cuz Kid is great because of his striking, and his wrestling, and being the most explosive fighter in the world right now, with excellent movement.. the guy knows how to explode at any second and knock you out.. but still Genki was beating him on the feet, and controlling him on the ground and Kid still to this day hasnt faced a guy with Genkis sub skills.. Genki may of sub'd him.

thats kinda wat i was leaning too...kid can ko genki within seconds on the feet (even though he was lossing) but i think eventually if it went to the ground, sudo could have subbed him..

I mean I still dont think Kid rocked Genki, it was a rare thing but everytime I looked at the punch, it didnt look like Genki was rocked, it looked like Kid hit him so hard that he dropped Genki, but Genki was still concious, didnt seize up, or anything like that.. kinda like gettin pushed and fallin except Kid just hit him and he fell. Then the fight ends without Kid landing a single punch after that.. terrible stoppage.
