Bicentennial Superfight 2

On June 26, 1976, boxing world champion, Muhammad Ali, fought legendary Japanese wrestler, Antonio Inoki, in what was a precursor to mixed martial arts competition. The modified rules to the match severely limited Inoki’s move set, forcing him to spend the majority of the match crawling on his back, kicking at Ali’s legs. Ali suffered over 100 kicks leaving him with two blood clots which were said to be responsible for his subsequent decline in mobility. Footage of the fight exists online, but it’s not pretty. Hogan and Stallone did it better.
