Benny Urquidez vs Naito

You guys might know Benny Urquidez from some old Jackie Chan movies. One that I remember clearly is "Meals on Wheels". I didn't know much about Urquidez at that time but I thought the end fight scene with him vs Jackie Chan was great.

He was a famous late 70s early 80s fighter that originally competed in the American karate and kickboxing scene. Kickboxers under the American rules wore the long pants due to it developing from the karate competitions. He later became famous for taking on primarily Japanese kickboxers in Japan. He's known for his jumping spinning back kick, like the one in this match.
