      He’s the reason the sport is still alive. He insisted on the rules changes early in and giving the ref the authority to stop fights. If the guy who was in charge of UFC 1 had continued someone would have died. He was also instrumental in the legal and political battles for years.

    16:40 The Sumo from UFC1 is Teila Tuli aka Taylor Wily, he was in a few movies and tv shows. I heard a funny story about him being the first fighter to sign to fight when all the other fighters were sketched out about it (thinking they wouldnt get paid, unsure of the rules etc) and Teila Tula was so chill about it, he walked out and said something like, "Were all here to party, and if you want to party, I'll see you in the arena tomorrow." which broke the tension in the room and all the other fighters started to sign.

    Spent 30 years in traditional martial arts. Always striking/standing. Ended up with a hip replacement in my mid 30s. My biggest regret is never having tried ground work martial arts. I'm Scottish, we were slow in importing BJJ. But I wish I'd tried judo at least.
    I remember being around 15. Mind 90s and standing around talking to guys at a martial arts competition. One of them said "there's a new thing started in America I hear. Bringing all styles of martial arts together and fighting in one competition" I remember thinking, that'll NEVER take over from traditional martial arts. Never heard much about mma in scotland again for years. How wrong was I? Maybe not as big as boxing yet. But certainly better in my eyes. Leaves traditional martial arts in its DUST..
    If I'd been born 15 years later, I'd loved to have tried mma

      At higher qualities it is fine but at lower quality it’s definitely desynced

    I watched this when it first came out and I’m still watching it. Big John is the man.

    I think fundamental is a better word than basic for Ricksons jiu-jitsu game.

      Kurwin Saunders “basic” is a basic word for fundamental. I see your point, though. Basic sort of gives an inferior connotation, but in Gracie’s defense, he’s doing the basics, only with perfect execution.

    Glad we all *FINALLY* know now -- Royce wasn't "chosen" for UFC 1 because he had the "perfect" size. He had a 10lbs diff with Rickson and it was all about honor and who's student got attached to the W.
