Bob "the beast" Sapp comes from the NFL and the wrestling scene. He is a huge man, and has fought in Pride, k-1, k-1 heros and Inoki-bom-ba-ye.
Some poeple feel like his skills are sub par, and that he wins his fights by being the stronger and larger one.

Bob won the latest k-1 Japan, and his trainer (Sam Greco) and he have really done a good job.

Sapp has fought fighters such as Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Mirko CroCop, Ernesto Hoost, Jerome LeBanner and many others.

He is 350 lbs (159kg) and 6'5 (1.96 meters).

His all time pro mma record is 6 - 2 - 1 (Win - Loss - Draw)

i have never understood why so many hate sapp.
i know his not very technical.but his strenght
have negated the skill of other fighters which is a skill of its own

.
his physical prowess is his weapon.and he has evolved much lately
last thing i heard is that he throws high kicks now.
imagine a round house kick from a 160 kg guy

to quote pete "sugarfoot" wallace
"the the beauty is in the effectiveness of the technique"

Yeah man, Greco has done a very good job. And Sapp didn't have a heart attack after the first round either!

ohhh man, has he ever! It was terrible in the first GPs!

He has improved his kicking and cardio a lot lately.
I like him.
His fights are always entertaining.

what is he up to is it k-1 or heros that he is competing in nowadays

by **Gurre** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 5:24 am

Regular k-1, not heros. I don't think he want to go back to MMA after the asskicking he got from Fujita.

i see i have some catchnig up to do.have only seen a few fights with him.

yeah man...

by **pankratios** » Sun Jul 17, 2005 1:03 pm

I saw his last fight
He fought at K1 Heroes a guy calling Allan Karev I think.
They both are realy huge. But Sapp KO'ed vey quickly.

by **Gurre** » Sun Jul 17, 2005 1:34 pm

yeah, impressive. Greco is doing wonders for Sapp... but Greco's a bit crazy. Slapping Sapp etc...

by **Liemann** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 4:51 am

One of my favorite fighters! One of few, really huge guys that impresses me.. I remeber seeing Giant Silva.. and i just shook my head.. Sooo slow.. Sapp on the other hand is a true slugger, in the old fashioned way

I would like to see him fight Aleksander Emelianenko. Both know for slugging. And Aleksander was beaten big guys before (James Thompson and Morais for example)

by **slavegan** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 5:27 am

yes that would be something but i hope it will be a little longer than the twon you mentioned
(wherent both of them knock outs whithin 2 min)

by **Gurre** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 5:33 am

yeah that's true. But I still think Alex would take it. He's got more talent then Sapp.
