¿Do you miss the Tapout era?

Yep. Tapout, Dethrone, Affliction, Badboy, all those kick ass shirts were really cool back then. I had a couple of those.

I remember this sherdogger from that era.

I have a few Tapout shirts hanging up from fifteen years ago when I was in highschool.

it was a nostalgic period of MMA for sure. The golden days, to me.
 
Yes.....I was a dork who watched all of the tapout shows where they introduced Cowboy and Hendricks......amongst others. Those were good times for mma nerds.
 
The whole "Mask" persona (RIP) almost put me off MMA entirely. Back then I was a believer in MMA as a sport and a participant. Now I know better and kinda feel bad about my perception of the guy back then. I Actually believed at one point the the UFC - "As real as it gets" - was legitimate. I was like "WTF is this nonsense", because "Mask" had no place in my perception of MMA as a sport. Well, we all know at this point that it is part show, part sport. The "Tapout era" was otherwise the most interesting time in MMA for me. So, sorry Mask.
 
Sure do. Lots of good points were already said so I’m just gonna add that it was more fun.

Its interesting to hear that take...I don't watch any MMA media, only fights, so I often underestimate the weight that the non-fight MMA content actually has in the MMA world. Kind of want to see Hendricks on a Tapout show now. ..but way to lazy to ever search for it LOL.
