Francisco Filho

Kyokushin - 100 Kumite

They are not small they are normal, but francisco, he is almost 2 meters he is big and he is fighting MASTERS.

He gets a strong fighter at round 37! Filho is employing defensive counter kicking in most rounds and wins by waza-ari/ippon then comes in Kazumi that just keeps pressuring forward and with his great ability to read his opponents disables Filho's countering abilities. great sparring match.

He is the striking coach on The Ultimate Fighter Brazil on Team Vitor Belfort now. There are clips of him showing them how to do the brazilian kick and other kyokushin techniques.

This is a hundred man kumite, where one many attempts to spar with one hundred people in a row without getting knocked out or succumbing to exhaustion, so they obviously don't care about an even playing field.



Francisco Filho had 24 years in 1995. He holds the record for duration (3 hours and 2 minutes) and wins (76 wins and 24 draws).

It was said Fihlo breezed through this so effortlessly that he hit up Japan's Disneyland the next day. Considering most of the participants who survive the 100 man kumite end up in the hospital for at least a week.







He is very respected in the Kyokushin contingent and the K-1 world.
