Yep. Looking at some of his early MMA fights you can see the speed difference between 28 year old Cung and 35 year old Cung. It's a shame he didn't switch to MMA earlier.

I got pulled out of the 14th row by Shogun's cousin to go sit cageside with him and some of Shogun's trainers that night. First ever live UFC event.

Easily the best night for MMA. Having multiple screens pays off though none of the best fights overlapped. Seeing Wand land knees from the clinch again was fucking awesome. Too bad it was Cung Le.
Hell yeah. You can see me right there in that clip.

One of my fav events to watch, a night I will never forget. Watched at a bar and the energy in the co main and main was insane. The only regret I have about this night was the Shogun/Hendo outcome. One of the greatest fights ever, but being a Shogun fan it would have meant so much more to have Shogun win that one. I remember watching round 5 and Shogun dominating and hoping he'd finish. And I thought to myself, Shogun wins it will be a night that will be magic, if he loses the decision I'll always think what could have been, and I think that to this day.
Awesome fight by Wanderlei!!
And then you had dumbass Joe Rogan crying about the stoppage. One of the worse and most bias commentary. He was riding Cung the whole fight. Rogan calls it a bad stoppage and then in the replay says Cung is fighting back and going for a takedown lol. More like getting his ass kicked with like 25 unanswered strikes, getting dropped and holding onto a leg.

"Cung is fighting back, he's fighting back"
Meanwhile Cung is taking shot after shot and barely staying up.

Cung was one of the most entertaining fighters to ever compete. His fights were always awesome.

Wand had some other fantastic brawls in the UFC, like against Bisping, and both Franklin fights... but since there was no finishes, and Wand lost both of the Aces fights (I thought the first one was the perfect example of a draw, but whatever) they don't get mentioned a lot.
Both guys almost got finished in their second battle (Franklin said he went out at the end of the second round, and got woken up by Wand's GnP making his head bounce on the canvas)
People mostly remember the Chuck, Jardine, Cung Le, and Stann fights.
(And try to forget the Chris Leben one
)
Rampage III was important for Jackson's career revival, but the cheap shots after the KO while the ref was trying to drag Quinton away kinda left a bad taste...

The Stann fight was amazing, they were both swinging for the fences and Wanderlei got dropped like 3 times but came backWand had some other fantastic brawls in the UFC, like against Bisping, and both Franklin fights... but since there was no finishes, and Wand lost both of the Aces fights (I thought the first one was the perfect example of a draw, but whatever) they don't get mentioned a lot.

Both Franklin fights were absolutely great.
