Excellent fight. I had the privilege of refereeing one of Benny's fights in Vancouver, Canada. A superb athlete and fighter he won convincingly and afterwards spent some time in a friendly and inspirational way with some of my students. A real gentleman.

I've never seen anything like this before. I'm astonished. It appears to my eyes that Benny wasn't going 100% the entire fight. That he was literally just warming up and even when it appeared he was struggling he was still only going 60% or so. When he got serious and turned it up a gear, he was on a completely different level. I don't know if anybody else sees this, this is very amazing.

Such a brutal vicious finish! This one and the Suzuki fight established Urquidez as a feared fighter on the Japanese KB circuit. For someone coming from trad.KB it's amazing how quickly he was able to adapt to low kicks, knees, sweeps/throws and the clinching game. Techniques wise not yet on his peak here I guess but as far as speed, accuracy, durability, killerinstinct and pure heart he must've been on his peak around 77-79. Nice spinning back kick in the third and then a grueling pace in the fourth, once Okao gets rattled Urquidez goes in for the kill with a brutal barrage of punches mixed with some straight kicks and then it's good night Okao!

I only recently started watching his fights on youtube and he implements a lot of what he goes over in the book. Starting out slow, testing his opponents weapons and timing and then putting it all together and beating his opponents. Nice addition to any martial art student's library (my opinion).

Urquidez only looks away from his opponent oncew during the entire fight. That's how he was able to just rain hell on Okau. He watched and read every move. Okau kept looking away and was barely seeing what his opponent was doing during the second half. Half the fight is knowing what the enemy is doing, and being able to predict the next move and even watch as that enemy becomes more exhausted and just waiting for them to slip up. Brilliant focus, amazing combos, and such a level-headed attitude. Benny was right at home.
