Anyone here from the old days!

Been watching since the late 90s on VHS. The first live event I watched was Pride 12.
 
I watched UFC when it was called HCFC, Human Cock Fighting Championship.
 
Started watching in ‘96 or ‘97.

First live event was in ‘99 (small local event.)

First major live event was UFC 77: Hostile Territory. October 20, 2007. Cincinnati, OH. Rich Franklin vs Anderson Silva II.

It’s good to see an old school Sherdogger visit again!
 
ya man been here since, I think it was UFC 1. The one where Griffin beat Bonnar.

I found this place because of ufc 40 searching yahoo. I learned about pride from Sherdog. Thanks guys, just bleed and so on.
ufc 40 WAS HUGE for the UFC. I think that brought in a crazy amount of crossover fans.

All my friends thought Ken would KILL Tito.

Casuals! Tito was just bigger, faster, and his skill set had advanced past Ken. I get the nostalgia back in the day but I thought that was a no brainer. The UFC spin doctors don't nearly get enough credit. Their promotional push is magic.

That was my first season of consistently viewing. I used to get grade school excited for the rampage chain and barking act
