Well Greg/MO , I believe this is now #5 ( or maybe #6). I didn't know that you were a UFC fan also. Man, this is starting to get scary now!! Maybe we can get Tim or Randy to wear Predator shorts for their next fight!
It was really cool when I found out that Sylvia, Couture and Matt Hughes were hunters. I have been watching UFC from the beginning, and I mean the beginning. Does anyone else here remember Tank Abbot, Kieth Hackney, , Kimo, Paul " The Polar Bear"Varlens, Big Daddy Gary Goodrich ( who is still in K2 and Pride fighting) and all the other guys? Of course, I remember when Royce Gracie was winning the first few tourneys. A buddy and I was laughing the other day remembering the time when Superfoot Wallace was the host of the first few UFC events, and he started the evening and actually burped in the mike when he was talking. It was hilarious to watch. Man he was terrible. Don the Dragon stunk also.
Boy the sport sure has evolved since those days. It is still fun to break out the old videos and see the difference from today. No time limits, no weight classes etc.
Man I love the UFC!!! It is even cooler to know that some of them are hard core hunters like us. Just like when I find out an NFL player is " one of us". It is so cool.
I must agree with whoever said that about Croucop. Sylvia, Arlosvky, and even Coutre as a heavyweight now are great fighters, but man is Croucop gonna shake up the heavyweight division. that guy is a machine. Great striker, great ground and pounder, great submissions, quick. Well... he is just plain amazing. I really hope that whoever wins between Tim and Randy ( that is one of those fights for me where I wish they both could win) beats Croucop, but man, I don't know.
I am gonna check out Sylvias website as soon as I get done on here.I remember when Randy had on a sweatshirt beforea fight with an outfitters website advertised on it( I beleive it was his first fight with the Iceman but not for sure). After the fight I tried to get the website but it said under construction.
Oh well, sorry to ramble. I get a little excited when I talk either bowhunting, NFL or UFC!!
