What triggers your 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.

Lost to the Blue Jays that year! Not that I was old enough to remember. Baseball-wise, wouldn't '08 be a more memorable year for you?

Enter the Dragon?

Only if the boss fight is Gaethje vs Ferguson.

Honestly - when one of the Japanese orgs (usually Rizin) has a quasi freakshow fight with either ex-sumo guys or pro wrestlers or both. The fights are riveting as usually both guys have non-existent ground games and comically bad stand-up and gas tanks.

But the fights almost universally have strong "this reminds me of Paul Varelans" energy which is both undeniable and intoxicating.

Hendo came out to Lunatic Fringe too. A big American wrestling staple.

Tank Abbott.

I started watching UFC at UFC 1 but I wasn't truly hooked until UFC 6. Back then almost nobody knew anything about actual MMA. This Matua guy was a master of "bone crushing". I was 16 so was like that a bad motherfucker, master of bone crushing. Then Tank completely destroyed him....lol
