Perfect single leg in MMA… in 500 B.C.

[Kevin Bergdorf]

I saw this at the MET in NYC on my last visit there, it's the trophy you won in an ancient MMA competition called the Pankration (wrestling, kicking and boxing no holds barred).

Trophies for winning a grappling match were a lot cooler back then.

See the guy with the stick? He was there to whip the guys if it got out of hand. That's what Herb Dean needs

Nice that would be a cool award to win.

Very cool stuff. Yeah trophys 100's of years ago meant something, had value, meaning. Nowadays it's a piece of plastic, spray-painted gold, on top of some cheap wood with a date and event etched into it. Lots in ancient times women and feasts were trophys also! Ah the good ol' days...

Before every female on the forums is offended by that, I do not believe that way, just stating how it was and making light of it .
