What triggers your MMA nostalgia?

I, for the life of me, visualize Keith Hackney dropping Yarborough anytime I hear the term palm strike.
 
Fuckn joe carter :(

I'd say '08 was equally memorable, but it doesn't do anything for me in regard to MMA nostalgia. I was a kid in '93 and a baseball fanatic and the Phillies were bad for as long as I could remember at that point in time. Sports fandom is different when you're a kid. It was great when they won in '08 though.

Yeah I wish I could have remembered the Jays' back-to-back World Series wins, that'll never happen again!

I know what you mean about sports fandom being different as a kid, though. I was a big New Jersey Devils fan, and when they won the cup in 2000 I remember doing laps around the house for what felt like an hour haha.

I was ecstatic when the Raptors won the Larry O'Brien last year, but there's something more magical about it when you're a kid for sure.

But I also remember crying my eyes out and subsequently listening to Dad ream me out for being a baby after the Devils lost in the finals in '01! I don't miss those days, so it goes both ways haha.
