I met Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie getting pedicures next door to my aquarium shop. That was pretty epic. Unfortunately, it was before cell phones, so no photos were taken.
Sadly this inevitably led to the sport becoming boring af. Most fights end with cats laying on top of other people for minutes at a time. Unless your somewhat versed in the technique, you can’t really follow along.
Which simultaneously leads to this odd pseudo-warrior culture within the fandom that makes it unbearable for people who exist outside of the sport.
Some fights are always gonna be entertaining. But watching a cat tackle another dude who otherwise woulda rocked him and then get applauded is pretty lame, as a viewer.
This is about the time when mma turned into boring matches filled with men in pajamas rolling around on the ground trying to grapple instead of standing and fighting.
The very first UFC championship was rigged by the Gracie's. It was just a whole promotion for their retarded jujitsu company. He's trash they're trash your trash. Lol.
What happened was Royce strangled him with his belt. He won with a trick not because BJJ is better. And although BJJ has always remained an important part of MMA the Gracies never won again and till this day no champ has used BJJ to become a champ since then.
The first UFC champion is a Grappler, and people today are complaining saying that grappling skill is boring, they know nothing about MMA or UFC, they should watch boxing instead.
I’m 14 and done both boxing and martial arts for 11 years I understand this very well❤❤❤❤
that when it was real UFC no weight class you fought three times in one night it was brutal true gladiators this is a very goat classic match

I seen the fight Shamrock did tap….Hoice gracey..is the best
What a worthless referee, obvious why he isn’t in the ufc anymore
Remember when UFC had fighters from all disciplines competing.
A sumo vs a MMA guy I think?
😅😅 Fun times
I used to be so annoyed watching that guy look like a little spider money. All grabbing. No striking. Horrible 👎🏾

THE REAL UFC,…step it up Dana😏
The iconic center of the ring takes me back to when I was a little kid watching ufc
I remember the fight. Even though shamrock won after fighting few times with him
The entire UFC lineup were the ish back then. Royce was special though
Wtf is the referí for?? 😢😅😅😅
How did the ref not see the tap? Red pants was literally smashing a hole in the ring floor
Ken tapped 5 times
One of the best fights ever
