I remember haystacks telling a story that old grannies used to hit him with the handbags walking up to the ring. Wouldn't have been so bad except some of the old biddies used to put bricks in their bags !
brings back memories that did big daddy v giant haystacks,i used to
watch it on world of sport about 4pm,me fav wrestler at the time was kendo nagasaki,royal brothers,catweasil,jim breaks,and billy two rivers
jeeeeeze im showing me age now roud:
It too sanitised thses days, wrestlers have killed it. UFC back in the 'human cock fighting' days before regulation, when nobody really had much of a clue. that was scary. I remember the story about UFC 1, in the first fight when that huge sumo guy got knocked down and then kicked in the mouth. Apparently one of his teeth went flying into the first row where the rest of the fighters were and a couple of them wanted to do a runner.
Pride at its peak, now that was worth watching.
BTW, I think you mean MMA not UFC. There are a shit load of greats fights outside of the UFC including this weekends card with Fedor vs Werdum.
Totally agree m8, also the guy who kicked the sumo in the face broke his foot and still fought Royce if i remember right.
Royce Gracie quickly became one of my heroes lol and i am lucky enough to have trained with him, Royler and Rolker Gracie, but Really wanna train with Rickson but havent managed so yet
Pride i did prefer to UFC and yes the fedor fight will be good. i like fedor and his un-assuming approach lol
Yeah he fought royce, apparently he was biting him (which was one of the rules they had at the time) so when he had the choke (i think) on at the end he didn't let go immediately. 'Armbar' Rickson is the one who always had the big reputation, like he is supposed to be 200 and 1 in street fighting.
Where abouts did you train the the gracies, must of have been pretty interesting. I think its Rolls who has a school in london, though I've heard its very expensive to train there. I've done some mma training with a couple of friends but nothing serious. These days with kids, a bad back and age catching up, my training is much more limited. Been training mauy thai for the last year and after a friends suggestion started traditional jujitsu recently.
As for fedor, once he is done with werdum (who is a legit threat) and overeem (who I think will beat him), he needs to head over to the ufc.
Who do you fancy in the brock vs carwin fight ?
