My uncle got me into mma, we used to watch recorded events from a few months ago in vhs… from 93 to 96/97. Good ole Severn, Hoyce, Ken, Kimo, Paul Valerans (rip), Oleg, etc. Great times. By 97 I lost all contact with mma until I moved to usa in 2004. Tuf 1 got me hooked again. Didn’t have a clue about Pride, k1, strikeforce, Dana, Fedor, Crocop, Vitor, Couture, Liddell etc. It all stopped for me in 97 lol. Began lurking around in 2004. Opened an acct in 2005 but got hacked.
Still a fan to this day, mma is not the same it was… I think me getting older has lots to do with it but also the quality took a hit.
