Old sherdog videos that got you into MMA

[MUSTKILL]

I remember back in the early days the only source of mma, outside of renting japanese dvds or shady video stores, were highlight videos.
This was the way I got people into mma. Guys like Boondocks and Hero1 were legends on these boards. Time to give them some props once again.
Here's some of my favorites from back in the day:

Fighter highlights:

Sakuraba HL:


Peter Aerts HL:

This was the first guy to make me go holy fucking shit.

CroCop HL:


Frank Shamrock:

Absolute classics! The only one I've never been able to find again was the Sherdog Carlos Newton one- it has my Jiu Jitsu coach in it.

I made over 100 highlights...I stopped uploading them probably about 7 years ago cause I make them for fighters and friends as opposed to posting on forums.Old the McFedries one was newish the rest were '03-'05 ish.Didn't feel like digging up anymore but there's some classics here.

I remember that one. Tank had some of the most BRUTAL KOs ever.
After watching his highlight I saw Vitor's and went wtf? I remember thinking back then, this guy must be on a buffet of steroids.

Royce coming out to faith no more...I don't like that band but it was a cool video

There was an old Fedor HL that was edited to a TATU song weirdly enough that I used to watch way back. I think it brought me to this site.

Those were the real glory days. Back when MMA was this niche special thing to me..

Props on bringing up Ironlife. I was actually a mod on there. Maybe 2003 or so
