    I miss this type of shit from early ufc days… Like they used to just put muy Thai vs karate masters and it was interesting as hell to see. I get why it happened but now it’s all mma vs mma… Not as fun imo.

    Edit- I’m remembering seeing a few sumo dudes too. I’m thinking this was the 90s

      Wasn’t there a fight between an american boxer and a japanese sumo wrestler? and it was just the most epic fucking thing I’d ever witnessed. now it’s all domestic abusers with a BJJ hobby

      Yeah I remember as a teenager I rented VHS of UFC 4, 5, 6 and 7 and it was the best thing I ever watched. I was trying to find the first 3, but it was hard to do in early 90s
