Kinnikuman Nisei wasn't received too well in Japan, and thus they canceled the show after 1 season (51 episodes). However, in North America, it did surprisingly well despite it being dubbed by the infamous 4Kids. As a result, 4Kids requested that Toei produce a second season just for the dub. The negotiations worked out and the dub received another 26 episodes.
You know, FUNimation could easely make a new cut of DBZ themselves. It is not like what Toei has been doing is hard.
