Was Marcos Ruas the first true MMA fighter?

[TitoSchaubHighIQ]

Yes. Ruas was the first well rounded fighter. He's the prototype of modern MMA fighters.

Ken himself has proudly said that was his nickname before becoming “the worlds most dangerous man”

Ahhh so he gave himself a nickname based on knocking out drunks …..I’ll be Ron “ two kicks “ Harper from now on

He didn’t give himself the nickname, he said that’s what they called him.

but “two kicks” is a dope nickname, I bet there’s a good story behind it

His skill level coupled with his nickname the king of the streets really says it all. He probably earned that name through demonstration.

the king of the streets asked for four months to train when Rickson came looking for him lol

No true MMA fighter was long before in time in Pankration. In my opinion.

My favourite is Diodixipus.

Dioxippus should have killed that bitch ass Macedonian.

Dioxippus should have killed that bitch ass Macedonian.

In hindsight
