[Daaavo]

....here's a couple nuggets from UFC #1 and UFC #3.



And here's David 'Tank' Abbott's first fight in UFC #6.

'Atta boy.

So far, most of these fights have been like Iron Mike Tyson's early career--knock outs early in the first round.

The joe vs joe fight was pretty awesome though!

 

[waggy]

[halbe]

Man, that is sick.

I can't watch that stuff again.

He wound up fighting 4 more times. Losing 3 of the 4.


As a side note, here's Tank Abbott getting beaten like a yard dog.

In a vaguely related story I put a guy in an armbar/wristlock type hold tonight.

I definately thought UFC49 was one of the better UFCs that I've seen. They showed almost all the fights in their entirety. There were some crazy knock outs!

[konakona]

Josh Thomson -v- Yves Edwards

WOWZERs at the kick. that must have hurt!!

 

[Deadtrees]

UFC and PRIDE is GOOD!

One of the most amazing fights was Bob Sapp vs. Antonio Nogueira. That was one hell of a match and it's amazing that Nogueira survived from that pile driver type of attack.

AND I WAS THERE!!!!!!

AND I WAS THERE!!!!!! I went to Vegas to see the fight, and I had the time of my life! I think this was one of teh best fight cards I have ever seen! The only one I had a problem with was the title fight since it ended the same way the last one did only this time it was in favor of the other fighter... Some grudge match... at least Liddell kicked butt...
