Many of you guys may not be old enough to remember the Professional Karate Association (PKA). It came on ESPN back in the early days of that network. Pretty much just kicks and punching, all above the waist. Still, they had some great fighters and
I would dearly love for some network to do Re-runs of those bouts.
My favorite was Jean Yves Theriault,

a French Canadian MW who was simply devastating. It would have been interesting to see him against some of the current MMA guys. I absolutely think he would more than have held his own and would have been a champion in this time as well.
Some other top guys were Bad Brad Hefton, Bob Thunder Thurman, Benny The Jet Urquidez, Rick Roufus, Bill Superfoot Wallace, Joe Lewis, Jeff Smith and many more.
Do any of you guys remember the PKA? If so who were your favorites? I am sure I have forgotten many of their names.
This may have been covered before, but a search of PKA did not get any hits in this forum.
