old UFC CEO Bob Meyrowitz talks about early years of UFC

from an old film in 2006

 

who originally got sanctions in those states i wonder

 

Zuffa comes in around UFC 30. Gee I guess Dana didn't invent the sport.

 

Who the fuck said Dana white invented mma?

 

made me laugh cuz when sherwood started talking, i remembered danas comment about the sherdog staff never participating in an athletic activity in their lives lol

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

in a related note I have a copy of the UFC 1 contract the fighters signed.

 

haha

 

Is this a full documentary, or is that it? I only ask because I want more and a doc on the early history of the UFC would be sweet.

 

Sumo wrestling maybe?

 

It would be awesome. Unfortunately, I think Zuffa is trying to make sure fans/governing bodes do not see the UFC as a bunch of mulleted rednecks in wife beater and tennis shoes knocking each other senseless.

They control the real content, so they are the gatekeepers on something like this. Zuffa would basically have to decide if producing something like this would generate profits sizeable enough to outweigh perception risks it would generate.

 

good thoughts.

 

maybe he's referring to past press packets

 

i think he also started yamma

 

that is really well said btw

 

i thought he did

 

dana, only legit if it happened in zuffa..

 

i'm sure alot has happened in zuffa that is off the radar.

 

The era of the double last name -- "Royce Gracie Gracie"

 

Buffer should bring it back
