WTF is a kumite!? 
Read the fucking article. Thanks for the video/article Schiavello. The amount of mental and physical endurance required for that is staggering. Dude was literally fighting longer than the run time of Inception. Thanks again.
Also, could you ask Overeem whether he considers himself British or Dutch next time you talk to him? Thanks.

Awkward..
painbringer666 - the guys he was "fighting" weren't really trying to finish him
nevertheless it was a great test of endurance
Dude you have no idea... Japanese don't treat gaijin very kindly during this kind of thing. They were going extremely hard to try and knock him out.
