lol I remember Sherwood talking about this on the SRN when it was still around, he also talked about some crazy brawl involving the Hells Angels at an MMA show with chairs flying all over the place, knives etc. That was the true wild west days of MMA, do you know the show I'm talking about?

Back in Pride days, Gomi was so dominant that his rivalry against the entire Chute Boxe Academy was a thing.

It turned out that no one at LW in Chute Boxe was good enough for him, so at one point he called out frickin "Wanderlei Silva", wanting to go up to MW BJ Penn's style to fight him.

Dudes striking was so fierce he forced chuck and rampage to take him down

Jose aldo got the scar on his cheek when his sister accidently knocked him over onto a barbecue pit when he was a kid

Not sure if he still does it, but after a win, aldo would always add a new skull tattoo to his existing tattoo

Gilbert yvel would do a tally tattoo every time he ko'ed someone

Gilbert yvel has a tombstone tat with names of guys he beat

Bas Rutten was celebrating his birthday and was real drunk and telling Rampage jackson about his old fights and was apparently too animated in showing how he had punched someone and accidentally hit rampage in the face. Bas said he swore that should have knocked him out,but rampage showed no visible sign he even felt the punch and was just waiting for bas to continue the story.

Bas then said that he had no more doubt about Page´s chin...

Was this before or after Bas stole Rampage's chicken?

Pancrase fighter Kengo Watanabe had his first fight vs Bas Rutten when Bas was King of Pancrase and had already notched 25 wins.

Seems strange, no? Well there is a story behind it. Kengo was a "secret project" by Pancrase founders Funaki and Suzuki. They had trained him for over a year to specially be able to take out Rutten, counter his style. The Dutchman had been so dominant that they felt the need to design their own fighter who could beat him.

It didn't work. Bas TKO'd him in under 3 minutes.

A young Fabricio Werdum caught his girlfriend in bed with another man. When he confronted them the man used a rear naked choke to put Werdum to sleep. Werdum then took up BJJ

In 1997 Renzo Gracie fought Eugenio Tadeau. Bjj vs Luta Livre was still a major rivalry in Brazil so all eyes were on this fight since they were major representatives of their respective art. About 15 minutes into the grueling fight the crowd started swarming the cage. One of Tadeau's fans jumped the cage and punched Renzo in the face. Renzo punched him back and all hell broke loose as the crowd broke into a massive brawl including chairs flying WWE style and even gun shots going off. The fight was stopped and ruled a no contest and the chaos resulted in a 10 year ban on MMA events in Rio De Janeiro.

ECW! ECW! ECW!

In the fight between gary goodridge and pedro octavio, goodridge squeezed octavio's nuts with his toes and then repeatedly did it with his hands because it was legal.

The pedro also screamed when Kerr kimurad him,and ref called it off. (Audible tap out) but the pedro jumped to his feet waving his finger around at the refs face to protest the stoppage,saying "no! No! No! No!

Kerr just laughed

Wes sims had Mike Kyle in a guillotine and Kyle bit him to get out of it and then koed sims

There is a crazy story about how Mark Coleman entered MMA.

Richard Hamilton was one of the earliest managers in MMA history. He actively tried recruiting wrestlers into the sport (Coleman, Severn and Fry where all his projects. He also introduced Mark Kerr and Tom Eriksson to the sport but they didn't sign with him specifically).

Anyways, Fry was one of his early successes. But Fry had a heated and virolic break-up with Hamilton after he won his first UFC tournament. This enraged Hamilton, whom wanted revenge.

Hamilton specifically recruited an Olympic-caliber wrestler (Coleman) to get revenge on Fry. If a college level wrestler could do so well, what about an Olympian, he reasoned. Before Coleman's fight with Fry at the Tournament finals -- Hamilton told some outrageous lies to make Don look lika a bad person. Including that he had seen Fry deliberately injure the knee of one of his students. He did all of this to make Coleman hate Fry. It worked. Mark went out and gave Don a savage beating, sending his opponent to the hospital. Hamilton had his revenge.

Coleman eventually caught on to Hamilton's behavior. The guy lied constantly and could act very strangely. For example, after Coleman's Tournament win, Hamilton gleefully informed Mark that he was on the witness protection program, despite having just been on National TV.

So in the end, just like Fry and Severn, Coleman parted ways with him and Hamilton faded into obscurity.

Silva's manager ducked Weidman hard for almost two years. They were spooked.

Weidman debuted in the UFC in June ‘11 and fought Silva in July ‘13.

You really think Silva was shaking in his boots at Weidman’s wins over Jesse Bongfeldt and Tom Lawler? Fuck outta here.

His win over Maia was discredited by Sherbros as Maia was already considered a fat welterweight. His win over Munoz was nice but Weidman’s hype was comparable to Cody Garbrandt before fighting Dom - undefeated, hyped, but consdiered not entirely proven.

Two years, that shit is a pathetic lie.

Werdum tells a different story here

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mm...s-ex-boyfriend-changed-fabricio-werdum-s-life

Esentially, his girlfriend's ex encountered Werdum at the beach and challanged him to a BJJ fight. The ex (who was a blue belt) submitted him with a triangle choke. That's how Werdum got into BJJ.

(Timestamped)

its even better than that from what i remember. he had one of his students drop him off in the middle of the woods so he could compete in this super secret kumite kind of bullshit. the guy was told to come pick him up the next day, which he did, and torre had his '1st place trophy' lol. i hope i didnt fuck that up too bad. the whole torre situation is worth reading up on, and i think youre right-im pretty sure it was sherdog that torre was posting on back then. rogan and edgy knew him back then too.

It was Gerald Strebendt who wrote a post - but I wasn't sure if it was here. He explained the whole situation, because I guess people were accusing him of being an accomplice or not taking Torre down. It sounded like a horrendous experience to have someone try to get him to commit a murder, and then for some reason fill him in on all of it, and show him the body of his dead friend.

I actually have the KOTC dvd that has the fight between "Torre"/Bartel(s) and the other dude. They played it like the student was an enemy who was talking a bunch of shit about him in the streets/MMA circles (Torre did). Then the dude was talking up Torre's skills "Superb Jiu Jitsu skills!" like "Torre" was so good that even as an enemy, he had to give him props.

Funny to find out that fight was a work. When I first saw it, I didn't know what was going on, so it took until years later to hear that they faked it. KOTC had been talking him up, saying that he came out of retirement for the fight. I thought he'd just fought on some underground shows. He was involved in interviewing fighters and stuff there. So I thought he was legit until reading about the murder and the fake torunament.
Fucking crazy ass bastard.

John hackleman admitted they tried to avoid chuck fighting lyoto machida. "That fights all wrong for us"

Truthfully it made me want to see that fight if chuck had been closer to his prime.

Ultimate Athlete Fights 2. Rick Slaton against some Polish or Russian guy. Dude kept hitting him in the nuts from what I recall. I have the DVD. It just stops abruptly and says the fight wasn't finished due to a riot in the stands.
I believe that card had Nam Phan and Dennis Hallman (hard to recall, because they had two events and I watched both, but haven't watched the second one in forever because my DVD was scratched).
