NEw BIG JOHN interview talks early UFC and says Dana didnt want to do TUF

BIG JOHN McCARTHY interview. : MatRatz.com

It's amazing when Dana talks about the TUF show he acts like he came up with the idea but Big John says Dana didnt want to do the show. All this time I thohght Dana was the master mind behind the show.

Dana has said this before ages ago, that he didn't want to do TUF at first.

WTF Big John McCarthy was Royce Gracie's training partner before UFC one.

Damn.

I saw an article recently where Big John was talking about UFC 1. He actually was on security for that event, he didn't start reffing until UFC 2.

Anyways, before the fights, he was back stage with Art "One Glove" Jimmerson and Art was saying "How's he gonna get inside my jab, I'm too fast". Big John took him down and Art said "Oh no, this guy's gonna break my arms and legs". That's pretty much why Art tapped as soon as he got in trouble with Royce.
