Gary Goodridge tells crazy arm wrestling story (latest interview)

[2004 account]

Not gonna lie, he actually is sounding better than before...he still has cte but he sounds less punch drunk and also sounds mentally clearer than before.

Maybe the drugs are working well or something? Either way good on him, he is a legend and deserves some of that Dana white snowy driveway retirement money lol as do many other mma pioneers for the ufc but that's another topic I guess.


Anyways enjoy the story.

This is amazing, he sounds great! I definitely wasn't expecting that considering some of the symptoms he was describing he had some years ago.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

I bet this guy has worse CTE then Gary.

He goes through how he beat 1000 men arm wrestling and at some point the promoter asked him to beat 5 guys in a row with nothing but his pinky and he did.


GG true real life over the top champ and probably the guiness record holder

1000? You must have worse CTE then Gary.

1000? You must have worse CTE then Gary.

Min 2:51, did you even see the video? Thats what Gary stated. You must have dementia or a short attention span if you watched it and didn't realize that.

Yeah, he also gave a tremendous beating to some undersized Japanese fighters. Like Overeem (who destroyed an old Goodridge), there seems to be some karma with giving/taking beatdowns in MMA. But I'm glad he's sounding more articulate. I don't think of CTE as something that's usually reversible.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Wow! He sounds great for the absurd amount of damage hes taken. Congrats to Gary

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Good to see him doing as well as he is! Any mention of his BKFC debut?!

 

[Fedsmoker]

Mike Bernardo has him mounted above his fireplace

he said 100 not 1000

 

[WildShrimper]

Sounds way better, hopefully most fighters with CTE can have somewhat of a normal life after.

 

[yekmurat]

Yeah he is a great armwrestler too

 

[Prince Nephilim]

They’re actually 1-1. Gary knocked him out as well.


Nice try tho, swine.

 

[Poser Caust]

he said 100 not 1000

He said both because he came back to beat 1000 for a million+a million yen after he beat 100 for 10,000 us

 

[HelloJapan]

I know arm wrestling great Devon Larratt (and fellow Canadian) has talked highly of Gary's arm wrestling prowess and brutal strength.

 

[cambo78]

How has he gotten less CTE'ish?? (thank God). It's a pleasant surprise. Hopefully he's doing as well/better as he looks/sounds.

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

wait then why isn't he being features on one of those arm wrestling youtube channels as a legend.

I didn't watch that far in. I blame TS for his incomplete Cliffs.
