yeh back when it was easy. look at dan henderson, theres a real champ
I remember when he knocked out Silva for the belt. I had just said,"Henderson looks like he's getting tired". Then BAM.
Then I said,"Or maybe not."
LOL

i know exactly which fight your talkin about , and i cant remember the names either. it was a giant black cat (over 300ish) and a 185 ish white dude with a pure karate style. either fighter lasted very long in the ufc , but that was great.That's what I'm talkin' about !!
One of the early ones, like # 3 or 4 there was this one fight where I bet on this huge black guy that was up against this much smaller white dude. When the bell rang that white guy karated the crap out of the slower huge guy. He beat him down and broke his hands beatin' the back of his head. Did they even have gloves back then ? I can't remember because I was half drunk. I lost that bet, but what a fight !! Needless to say the white guy could not continue in the tournament that night....
great fight!I remember when he knocked out Silva for the belt. I had just said,"Henderson looks like he's getting tired". Then BAM.

Yeah...injuries definately were the worst part of tourneys.
A tourney nowadays would be fun to watch.
Part of the thrill of the early tournaments though, was watching little guys like Royce get in the ring with "big monsters". LOL! Being like most, I'd never heard of Brazilian Jiu Jitzu. I don't think most of those "monsters" had heard about it either, until Royce disclocated their shoulders or elbows .LOL!
Back then they weren't ready with as many camera angles either. I remember seeing Royce on his back getting beat up and the next thing you know the big guy on top is tapping. We'd be saying wtf just happened ??Yeah...injuries definately were the worst part of tourneys.

Its good for when UFC isnt around.
Good point on the camera angles.Back then they weren't ready with as many camera angles either. I remember seeing Royce on his back getting beat up and the next thing you know the big guy on top is tapping. We'd be saying wtf just happened ??
its rare that a juiced up fighter beats the more skilled fighter period. overeem dont have a chance in the world with or without the dope against junior.cant wait for dos santos to smash mir in just one round... too bad overeem is a steroided out cheating bitch!!! would have been great to see dos santos break his jaw in one round also... maybe when his ban lifts in a year we can see this!
is(was) this a bjj tourny ? im gonna have to find it.More not UFC, this is:
World Jiu-Jitsu Expo BJJ Superfight

i agree but imagine if jds was on roids vs all those guys? hed be up for murder... steroids are bad!overeem is a fucking roided up monster..... he has nasty power in his hands, knees and feet..... but he has a glass jaw.. and jds woulda broke that glass jaw... just like he is gonna break mir's jaw.. and thats what mir gets for breaking big nog;s arm.... noone is gonna beat dos santos.... he already ran threw the who's who of the h.w. division...
