This series 'The Day...' is about 'extraordinary' moments in NHB/Vale Tudo history.
Today: [Australian NHB Scene]
Was @ Caged Combat 1 - Australian Ultimate Fighting, in Sydney, Australia [March 13, 1997].
Was a 2 days Tournament.
On the Left:
Zen Machine had a background in:
> Judo, under Master Mehdi.
> BJJ, under Carlson.
He was also one of the founders of BTT.
On the Right:
Vernon 'Tiger' White.
Tiger had a background in TKD.
He then joined Pancrase Org., where he had to learn the ground game, like all the pure strikers who went there.
Joined the Lion´s Den Team, and progressively refined his ground game (see his defensive grappling against SAKU G. in Pride, and his leglocks game here, as a striker...).
Underrated.
@ 8mn:
Lasted some 30 sec (!)...
Tiger is like...
Carlson is like...
"Ah son, forgot to tell you, these Nu Breeds are not really into 'No Time Limit'..."
Ah... That transitional era between NHB and MMA... I legit smiled.
