fascinating MMA facts

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

I’m bored and need to be mentally stimulated.

Somebody tell me a fascinating tidbit of information about any UFC fighter.

Something that maybe not everyone has heard before or maybe something you learned while you were stalking your favorite fighters Instagram page.

Mike Pyle’s first 2 mma fights were against rampage jackson and jon fitch.

He weighed 175 against rampage.

And apparently rampage missed weight by 25 lbs for the fight....lol

Bisping and Nick Diaz are the only ones who fought both GSP and Anderson Silva.

I like the OP’s intentions. Not sure of where the thread is going.

 

[Murder_KickHC]

Conor McGregor became the first fighter to get a KO in 3 different weight classes after destroying 170 lbs Cowboy Cerrone at UFC 246.

 

[NatoHoro]

Anderson Silva nearly killed Rafael Cordeiro, with a shotgun.

"In a certain period of financial difficulty, Anderson Silva was making his living teaching jiu-jitsu classes and Rafael Cordeiro, Chute Boxe head coach at that time, didn't want him to continue. They had a heated argument in which Anderson was slapped on the face.
Afterwards, Anderson went to a place where Cordeiro was, accompanied by two guys, and held a shotgun while he was waiting for the coach to return. His two companions apparently lost their nerve and they talked Anderson out of the action, making him control himself and give up on his intent."

HOW CAN HE SLAP ME????

Matt Hughes received this Valentine's Day card four months before he was hit by a train. Some experts believe that somebody else planned the hit all along...

Love the Simpsons reference.

Bravo.

Some poeple claim Bruce Lee inspired mixed martial arts. Bas Rutten, one of the originals, became interested in martial arts after sneaking in to a movie to see Enter the Dragon.

Melvin Guillard tapped before I can finish this interesting fact about him.
