Just a reminder that top russian spotsmen of high rivalry sport of kyokushin were absolutley destroyed by literally whos of literally what sport (it was sanda) in the beginning of 2000's. Everyone including Osipov lost because of the reasons mentioned above - 0 distance management, 0 head protection. Sanda fighters also demolished some Royama's fighters in 2004. After that, Matsui, having better fighters than Royama, always refused to fight the Chinese. And after that some cringe redditors of r/kyokushin dare writing "Yeah, we are practicing head defence, we just don't compete with head punches".
Kyokushin. Is. Rubbish.
