What triggers your MMA nostalgia?

[sampuncher]

I was just driving and Hendos music came on shuffle. Made in America by Toby Keith.

I let the song play and it instantly took me back to 204.

I remember Hendo walking out to it and it took me back to hearing it live and the memory of me watching it thinking "fuck man, this is Hendos last fight".

This just one song for example but a glimpse of MMA transferring into everyday life.

Is there a certain saying, song, action that you hear in everyday life that takes you back to a certain MMA memory?

(apologies if this thread makes no sense and ive explained it poorly in advance, hope someone gets what im saying) .

Am I crazy or didn't / doesn't Hendo come out to this?



I'll admit, I've FF'd thru walkouts for many years now. So maybe he used to, and I wouldn't notice if it changed.

A country boy can survive. Reminds me of Hughes walking in to smash the next fool in his way.

Yeah he did, I think he used the Toby Keith later on though, the Toby Keith song just reminds me of Old Man Hendo though. Hed definitely used it for a good few of his last fights, not sure when he switched them.

When Wild Boys comes on radio

OK I actually have an answer to your question.

I have a puppy ("pandemic puppy"). When she wants more cuddling, she puts her head down at 45 degrees and kinda rolls forward / flips over. I call it her "Imanari Roll".

And then my wife rolls her eyes

 

[Kwic]

When I imagine Hughes brother pounding each other behind the barn.

If someone says "bro" I immediately picture Karo losing his shit. Also Sandstorm - Wandy.

 

[HootyMcBoob]

Whenever I see someone with a big fat head, I'm reminded of Tito Ortiz.

When Pride lady screams into your ear.... you know it's Fedor's/Sakuraba/Wand, Shogun....(fill in the blanks) time! That's what I call MMA nostalgia!

1993 was an amazing year in my youth. Phillies in the world series; John Kruk, Mitch Williams, Darren Dalton, Lenny Dykstra and the rest - one of the most exciting summers I can remember. Now every time I watch a Phillies game I think of those guys and that year, and Royce Gracie blowing my mind making bigger dudes give up.

You're good, but watch out if you see her throwing any sand.
