There will never be another like Carlson. You can only understand if you had the honor of meeting him. Always miss you Grandmaster.

This was really great to watch. Interesting stuff.

[@magician234]

This was great! Thank you for posting this. I am always intrigued by the short, yet deep history on MMA. The picture of Rickson jumping into the ring to fight Takada in the rematch was one of the most epic pics I have ever seen in MMA. Really REALLY enjoyed this video.

[@Bin6h4m]

I went there and it really was amazing. The pictures were huge. A large portion of the pictures were of Gracie members and that was great.
