It's well documented that Gary is suffering from CTE after his retirement. People push some rando's youtube content all the time on here, famous or non-famous, self or others, so surely we sherbros can get behind the OG of MMA.

Let's show some support to the OG by subscribing. I did a second ago.

Done.

I live in the same town as Garry. Met him at the drug store once and said hi. He asked if he knew me as if he knows he doesn't always remember things. I said I was just a fan and shook his hand.
 
I'd have subbed without the plea, had I known it existed. Preciate it

Man, he really sounds rough. That man took as much damage as anyone who's fought, really went through some wars with anyone and everyone. His list of opponents is a real who's who of golden age MMA fighters and kickboxers. Was always one of my favorites, despite his win/loss records.

I think he sounds here better than before, but hard to say where he's at. Goodridge is one of the guys who just became a bit of a sacrifical lamb and thrown to the fire. If he had one tenth protection guys like Sean O'Malley got, he probably would've faired so much better and not have taken all the damage he did. It's really unfortunate.

I mean, who else can say they fought Judo multiple-time world champ, adcc champ, wrestling gold olympic medalist, sambo multiple time world champ/hall of famer, and numerous k-1 world champions?

At the end of the day, despite the numbers on his record, he's an OG, and a legend in my book. Hope he does well...
 
Legend … one of the originals … enjoyed many of his fights with my dad growing up
 
Goodridge was a bad man at his best. Inconsistent and not elite by any means but he was always dangerous. He knocked out Mikey Bernardo in K-1 who was nothing to fuck with and knocked out some hard men in Don Frye and Oleg Taktarov and TKOd Valentin Overeem who had beat Randy Couture and Ian Freeman in that same year. Goodridge also gave the fans a great brawl with Igor Vovchanchyn in what was a losing effort but still a good scrap. A fully geared up and ready to go Gary could have thrown down with guys like Derrick Lewis and Tuivasa all day IMO. I hespect of heem.
