Doesn't the announcer work for Fox News now? If it is, I wonder what his opinion of MMA is now that he works for that network...

Banning probably sucks but if you are trying to say that 2005 people are cooler than say 2008.. I feel sorry for you kid.

I would recommend some of the PrideFC fights to the newbs instead. Informative commentary, awesome rules, great fights, a well put together show, and of course brutal.

Agreed - but the juxtaposition between the UFC then and now is eye opening for those that havent seen it.

Also I thought Id get flamed if I mentioned pride..

Damn, the sport has come a long way.

Arlovski or Mir would run through those guys. So would many lightweights.

Man, it's hard to watch those elbows to the spine. I keep on thinking the guy is gonna die.

The great thing about this fight is that I think it would still be legal.

Thanks for the vids,

Back then MMA was actually exciting and fun to watch.
