SPOILER below
----------
I believe this is the fight where Yod lossed his WBC belt. I actually haven't watch this entire fight yet, but I thought being a Yod fight I should post it up.

The two had fought once before this, and Yod took it comfortably.

Former Thai kicking phenomenon takes on the Japanese fighter with an elephant's heart ("It's Showtime" rules: no elbow or clinch...very K-1 style)
