Nice find, Bruno, man. Haven’t seen these in years.
Crazy how far NHB/MMA has come. 
Oh, and that Royce Gracie kid is goin’ places♠
Kevin Rossier? 66 wins by KO?
can someone tell me how i can put this on a flash drive so i can have this vid? i love it
Bruno: Use “Download Helper” Firefox addon. Will download and save vid.
Amazing, love the way Royce just walked all over them…. specially cocky ass Shamrock…. 178 pounds vs. 220…and you cant say Shamrock didnt know how to fight on the ground… true master
Absolutely epic. This is what the UFC is all about. Warriors not backing down no matter what. Broken wrists didnt faze these guys. It didnt matter how big or who your opponents were it was about heart and the desire to win. Just like Gracie said “its not about the money” Its a shame that our LHW champ cares more about his legacy and bank balance than honour and the pride of fighting. Evolution sucks sometime.
Great find Bruno. Thanks.
Classic…I love how the dingleberry announcer Bill Wallace chokes on his own spit at the beginning. “Good evening and welcome to McNichols…arougoufh!…”
Royce gracie legend? buttheads to the back of the head and the oponent tapping and royce not letting go? disgrace and embarecement.
nuno@ maybe you should actually try paying attention to the fact that at that time there was no rules which it clearly stated. This means everything from headbutts to head stomps were allowed. And did you not see the semi final where Shamrock blatantly tapped but the inept referee didnt notice. Lets just say that the referees back then werent up to todays standards thats why Royce had to make sure in the final. If your gonna blame anyone blame the shoddy referee.
@nuno
He did not let go because Gerard bit his ear in the fight.Also in that time people were completly unaware of submissions.So if Royce lets go of the submission and the ref doesn’t see the tap,the fight is not over.And judging by the commentators and the reaction time of the ref,nobody knew what Royce was doing.
BTW it’s a headbutt,not a buttheads.And they were completly legal so why would you not use headbutts when you have the opportunity?I think biting somebody is a bigger embarassment then headbutting…It’s even a bigger embarassment then calling headbutts buttheads.
You can’t judge UFC 1 by today’s standards. UFC back then was just an overly glorified vale-tudo championship (which for me was awesome!). There’s very little left in the UFC from that time. After they made weight categories and invented rules, everything changed. It became a sport, not a fighting contest.
Back then, kicks and punches to the balls were perfectly fine. Stomping on someone’s spine? Awesome! Soccer kicks to the back of the head? Sure! The only two rules were no eye gauging and no… what the hell. There was only one rule.
It was a great time. I twas a terrifying time. I love both vale-tudo and MMA, but they are VERY different things.
Is it me, or Gerard Gordeau did 4 Nazi salute when he came in the cage?
I’ve seen this when it came out and never caught it back then.
Everyone remember how they felt when they saw this?
Saw it a few times when it first took place … wasn’t sure what it was … totally random when I saw it. But I knew that skinny Brazilian kid was kicking everybody’s a$$. And I remember thinking: Oh sh1t! A real Fvcking Bruce Lee.
Oh Sh1t … This is great.
Just got to the Tall guy kicking the 400 pound sumo guy in the face.
The the White guy that looks like a mean troll that lived on the bridge, foot stomping the Black dude in the head.
Art Jimmerson and his boxing glove…
You know you’re screwed when you have Royce Gracie on top of you and you’re wearing 1 boxing glove.
There use to be a mock video of superfoot bill wallace f****** up all of the commentary. Like calling it the Ultimate fighting challenge, burping into the microphone for the opening sentence, calling fighters a “boxer person” and keeping track of how many times he pronounces teila tuli in differnt ways.
I cant find that video but if you can find it, it is pure ol’ skool gold.
That sumo Guy that got kicked in the face is now acting in Hawaii Five-O.
Kevin Rosier vs Zane frazier looked liked Meatloaf from fight club vs Ray parker Jnr from Ghostbusters !!!
I remember when this first came out when I was a freshman in high school watching it on vhs. I don’t know where my life would be today if it wasn’t for MMA and UFC. God bless Royce Gracie and God bless MMA
@Nuno…youre such a dumb ass TROLL…u probably have \Chael Sonnen posters all over your room,…cos yeah u still live with mommy
@TheKungFuLowKick The ref is a BJJ’s Grand Master, he knew better than anyone what Royce were doing…
