Before the UFC , you had this....

She was my Proctologist's secretary. Can confirm her threat.

for sure. i just wanted to point out that Count Dante wasn't a complete fraud. like you said, he had legitimate credits, he was just an insane person.

No doubt. Btw are you a fan of Igor zienovev?

 

[Elmo]

Yeah. But you still had a handful of people like THIS

I could do it just like that back in the Kung Fu days.
No boxes though I usually just rolled on the ground after getting kicked.

not particularly, although i know who he is. my "WAR IGOR" is actually for Igor Vovchanchyn

350

It was about that time I noticed ogata was 7p stories tall, and a crustacean from the paleolithic era!

 

[Just Creed]

The correct answer is 'yes'

Few years ago it was mentioned that she is still alive and although older still the same weight.

Black Dragon Fighting Society is legit.

He apparently trained in catch wrestling and Japanese jujitsu.

So going back to MMA, you had western kickboxing which turned out to be PKA. When point karate fighters mixed boxing to create karate style kickboxing. Now going back even further in the 60s, you had this type of martial artist:

Guessing this was a poke in the eye, still extremely effective at the highest level of mma fought in the UFC.

UFC never stoped Edmund getting in on the fake sensei business, or Stephen Segal now that I think about it.

Edmund has sick wushu game bro!

It's insane how he convinced the mma community that he was good. Sad part is, Manny, Ronda, Travis and Ellenburger went to him despite being in better camps already.

Count Dantee was actually semi legit. Black Dragon fight society actually had 'MMA' style events. Its was basically called style vs. style. But any thing went.

But the PR and marketing was very bad.

Oh yea and they probably started the chicago dojo street wars.

I mentioned it in the OP because I know he has boxing and karate skills. That and I give credit where credit is due. Count Dante was a nut but still a great martial artist or maybe one of the best of his era.
