What was Steve Jennum's ceiling?

Given that his martial art was "ninjutsu"

You guys are knocking Jeremy Horn here!

The legend started out under Robert Bussey with Ninjutsu!

Only on Sherdog is all I can say.

He was the first UFC fighter I remember watching and being wowed by. (I had never seen bare knuckle fighting before). Was he a cop or something like that? I’ll have to rewatch on google to refresh my memory.

I was watching ufc at the time and lived close to where Jennum lived. It was a great sense of pride the baddest man on the planet was living in your city. Lol

Yeah a cop in Omaha nebraska.

UFC 3 tournament champion!!! Got some luck with others getting injured… He did ok… Steve Jennum did ok in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

That was impressive.

 

[don't ask]

I was happy to see him pop up in Vale Tudo, but he got brutalized by Marco Ruas in just a few minutes.

Wasn’t that Scott morris?

 

[TheMaster]

Could he have been an all-time great?

Or a bust?

....

Could have been the face of Toyo Tires

Did we just teleport back to 1995?

Respect to Jennum. All jokes aside, he did it in a time with little to no rules, very little money, and very little exposure. And unlike Pat Smith, Harold Howard, and a certain individual whose name deserves to be erased from history (red trunks, got punched in the balls, hung out with Kimo, was a bit actor in "Austin Powers"), he wasn't a violent criminal who gave the young sport a bad name.

He didn't have the makings of a varsity athlete

What was the story with Howard again? Wasn't he chasing his wife with a hammer, then crashed in a casino?

Terrible odds for survival, great for everything else

Guys a total legend

Yeah. And then online dipshits blew him up as a hero and his daughter had to beg them to stop lionizing her crazy father. IIRC.

Yup, from Wiki:
"On December 22, 2009, Howard was charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault with a weapon, attempted breaking and entering, failure to remain, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, mischief and two counts breach of recognizance after being captured by police. The events leading to said arrest include attacking his sister and nephew with a hammer, attempting to force his way into his estranged wife's home, and finally crashing his car into the Fallsview Casino.[3] In the end, Harold was sentenced to just shy of five years in prison"

True!

Royce may have strangled Shamrock, Severn, and Kimo, but he got one good look at Harold and knew he didn’t want the smoke.
