Does your UFC 17 VHS have Shamrock’s title fight?

Shamrock was getting schooled by Horn until that BS kneebar giveaway. I swear to this day that was a fixed ending; and I am a devout Frank Juarez fan!!🇲🇽☘️🇺🇲

It was a little odd. I recall that Shamrock didn't have many answers for Horn's grappling. Horn was just tenacious and had great control and transitions. That submission just manifested out of nowhere. Definitely odd. Should add, though, that Horn has lost quite a few via submission throughout his career. Nonetheless, I always found his grappling highly impressive, most of the time.

I rewatched this fight a few months ago, the first time I saw it since the nineties, and I had no memory of how big Horn was! He was fighting in the HW division after this! So, yeah, I'm not surprised to see Frank struggle with a naturally bigger grappler.
 
Anyways, my VHS tape must have had the title fight back then because I don't know where else I would have seen it.
 
A long time ago, on Time Warner Cable on Demand when they had UFC on demand, I paid to watch an old UFC, maybe this one, and it skipped one or two matches I rented it for. Maybe it skipped Hendo, Horn, Frank Shamrock, Chuck. I forget. I remember they spent lots of down time with the talking heads when they could have shown the match(es) I wanted to see.

checking my plex server 'my' dvd rip of UFC 17 didn't include the fight either and was sourced elsewhere.

I'll have to get my old UFC 17 VHS out from my spare room where lots of my old stuff is stored, the only thing I remember from UFC 17 was it was one of the events the mighty Andre The Chief Roberts fought in and destroyed his opponent, probably the best debut ever in UFC history, awesome seeing 400 Ibs of the chief and the only American fighter to ever fight in UFC history. Amazing event, will have to get it out to find the Shamrock fight.

I have UFC 1-22 on VHS, and Ultimate Ultimate 1995 and 1996, Ultimate Brazil, Ultimate Japan, Ultimate Night of Champions all on VHS and then 23-29 was underground and banned and impossible to watch, but then UFC 30-onwards it was back on VHS and then DVD

Hate to break it to ya but the Andre Roberts fight is NOT on the VHS or DVD, either, as well as Chuck's ufc debut against Noe Hernandez or the aforementioned Shamrock/Horn fight - which was taped to be used for a future event.

Main thing about horn that always impressed me was his composure when getting hit. Even in bad situations, he always stayed calm. The chuck and marquardt fight mainly

I will for the life of me not understand why this channel is not bigger. Literally the best interviews and that dude knows his knowledge and what questions to ask
