Description
Benny Urquidez, widely regarded as the greatest pound-for-pound kickboxer of all time, earned the nickname "The Jet" due to his explosive spinning back kick. After a decade of competing in non-contact point karate, Urquidez pioneered full-contact fighting, often facing opponents with ambiguous rules and contrasting styles. Urquidez's illustrious career spanned two decades, marked by numerous World Championships in five different weight divisions. He remained undefeated for 27 years, holding the record for the longest reign as World Champion. This remarkable achievement was cemented by his victory over Japan's reigning World Champion at the age of 42, coming out of semi-retirement to seal his legendary status.
