UFC 40: Shamrock vs. Ortiz 1

[Jessie Saucedo]

UFC 1!! Because of my brothers trainer at the time who went by ZANE FRAZIER. Zane had a school in North Hollywood.

[Brandon Mccaghren]

The first one I saw was UFC 6 (I think). It was the one where Tank Abbott knocks the big Samoan dude into a seizure. It was awesome. I didn't really get fully obsessed with it until BJ Penn vs Matt Hughes 1. Don't remember what event that was.

[Tyler Frazier]

anyone remember how disapointing ufc 3 was. they marketed it as shamrock vs royce gracie and in the end gracie quit halfway through due to injury, then shamrock quit cuz gracie quit and some random replacement fighter ended up winning it.

[Jack LaBarge]

UFC 3 was fun with Kimo smacking Royce around!!

[Jack LaBarge]

Keith Hackney chopping down the Sumo guy. Shamrock got hurt so he couldn't continue...UFC 3 was very exciting!

[Jack LaBarge]

The fresh little Steve Jennum finshes Howard for the Tournament win....again that was a exciting fight!

[Tyler Frazier]

Keith Hackney chopping down the Sumo guy. Shamrock got hurt so he couldn't continue...UFC 3 was very exciting!

Some people thought shamrock couldn't be bothered to carry on cuz he couldn't get his revenge on royce lol. Still... i agree it was exciting... bare knuckle.. few rules etc. I loved the part where Harold howard did that weird cartwheel flip type move.

What was it like? Did you think someone was going to get killed? Who did you think was gonna win?

Nah, I didn't think anyone would get killed. I had been doing Judo and JuJitsu at the time as was all ready fighting in Full Contact Jujitsu matches, so I was rooting for the Jiu Jitsu guy and thought becasue of the grappling advatage Royce would have a good shot at winning. I had read an article in a old MA magazine about a martial artist going to Brazil and training, I believe with the Machados and told the whole story about how he got his ass kicked, etc. So when they introduced Royce I figured he must have been associated with the Machados.
