Where do you find obscure 90s fights?

[Ogata]

Are there any UFC fights that are "lost media" and aside from that. How do you find obscure fights of a UFC fighter who fought in an event that granted them a chance in the UFC?

I have been looking for Qs fights for years now but it seems like its lost fight!

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

fight pass is your best chance. mma-core was great for shit like this a decade ago but like 90% of the fights on there now are 404’d.

Doubt any UFC fight is lost media considering Fight Pass is a thing.

Now for fights from other promotions from back then, that could be a whole different deal. HooknShoot for example, might be hard to find footage from unless they signed a deal with Fight Pass that gave them their fight library.

I remember scouring the web for Liddell vs vitor like 15 years ago but could never find it. Wasn’t until like a year ago I watched on fight pass. I’m not sure there’s a ufc fight that you can’t find on fight pass or ESPN plus

 

[Bobby Boulders]

You can find torrents of fighters' entire careers. There are sites specifically geared towards MMA, but idk how well the seeds are doing. Even 10 years ago it was slow going.

Stuff not on fightpass you can't DL maybe try going full James Thompson and looking for old DVD's? quite a lot of smaller MMA events did come out on disk in the late 90's and 00's.

I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never seen that fight. I also looked for it at some point but never was successful.

Shiiiit....I got almost all the Super Brawl events from Hawaii on DVD. Signed up for something around 2002 or so.... $3.99/mo subscription got me a DVD with cover art in the mail every month. Wild shit in those fights.

It looks like they have basically every notable MMA org on fight pass, HookNShoot is in the 'Classic MMA' section along with stuff like Pancrase, Cage Rage, King of the Cage, Gladiator Challenge, Shooto etc

I've surprisingly found stuff at dollar stores.

Q's fights??

Yes I remember Quincy Rice had an MMA fight on YouTube but it was removed. He looked super young. The only thing I can find is a quick grapplers quest competition:

Google Pride Fighting Championship. You can watch "legends" fight cans.

Yeah it was, I completely forgot about that site. They even used to do the TUF episodes although it was usually chopped up pretty weird.
