Kimura, like Oyama, was a training fanatic.
I wasnt sure if Oyama and Helio were in the same time period, but since they lived really far apart, that would be why they never fought.

Im not sure how good Helio was at taking guys down, let alone knowing how to properly avoid strikes and time/set up the takedown, but if it did go to the ground, i still dont think Helio could have finished him.

Oyama by brutal KO

Does anyone have any footage of Oyama?
