Benny the Jet Urquidez

There are certain types of fighters. There are some who are brawlers with very little technique and some with great technique who train constantly every day trying to better themselves. Whatever type of fighter, to be considered as one of the greatest, you need heart and guts. To me one stands out more than any other. That’s Benny the Jet Urquidez.

Not very big in size, Benny was one of the best martial artists of his time. He is up there with the likes of Bill Wallace, and Joe Louis who fought at around the same era. Benny was the type of fighter that if you knocked him down he would get straight up, and without blinking make you pay for it. He fought many great fighters in his time and become a great success and inspiration to lots. The following is a clip of Benny fighting Shinobi Onuki. Throughout the fight Onuki does seem to be pressing Benny, but if you notice it is always Benny who takes the centre of the ring showing no fear and keeps attacking no matter how much he’s hit. At the end Benny throws one of the sweetest back kicks ive seen but does perform an illegal throw straight after completely winding Onuki. Just watch Benny’s face the whole time. He looks fearless, full of guts and has that special “eye of the tiger”.
