Combat Sambo

If anyone watched the fights last night, ufc 160 you saw a master of combat sambo in Khabib N throw his opponent all over the cage.
Sambo is well known for its explosiveness, quick submissions and huge pick ups and throws. In combat sambo comps you also have to deal with headbutts!!
Its no wonder these athletes transition to mma so well.
Here's a vid of a beautifully executed head butt k.o. and a highlight from the Russian championship, also a headbutt k.o. at around 2min 12.

Shooto

Ten years before the advent of the UFC there was Shooto. Came across this very cool clip of some early fight s from the mid 80's. Sayama the founder of Shooto is also fighting and doing a demo. Enjoy.
