Have any of you watched this yet? I started watching it last night, but I fell a sleep as I was dog tired from work. I'm going to finish it up tonight.
From IMDB...
"Ten years before the debut of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, two karate promoters and their fighters, a rough group of barroom brawlers, bikers, teachers and steel workers, pioneered the first mixed-martial arts league in the nation."
It's actually 14 years before the UFC, but you get the picture. The fights were kind of a mix between modern MMA and long pants kick boxing rules. The promotion was simply titled Tough Guy Contest. There was head gear, little karate booties, no kicks below the waste, but grappling and submissions were allowed, and MMA style gloves that had the figures covered more. There were no professional fighters allowed though.
Here is the trailer...
