This fight which took place at UFC 13 in 1997, was Randy's second ever match in the UFC during a 4 man one night tournament. There is a very noticeable disparity in weight here as Randy's opponent, Stephen Graham was 290 lbs and Randy at 225 lbs. Randy was the much quicker man here and you can see his craftiness on display with even a try at a RNC. Also to note, this card featured two four-man tournaments Which was at Heavyweight and Lightweight. Earlier in the night Randy's first ever match was held as well, defeating Tony Halme to move in to the second round and face Graham.

Great threads...Randy at 33 and Vitor at 19 both in 1997 is crazy...
 
Knees to grounded opponent, and shoes allowed.

I kinda wish both were still legal, especially shoes. Even just this past week Jake Ellenberger was injured and defeated because he was barefoot.
