Pretty much my list since I started watching long ago. Frye, Dan, Pat Smith, Hackney, Ruas, Varlens are other I'd add to the above list.
How can I sum up the good old 90's, before people trained the UFC... Everybody thought they were Pat Smith but most found out they were Ninja Morris real quickPretty much my list since I started watching long ago. Frye, Dan, Pat Smith, Hackney, Ruas, Varlens are other I'd add to the above list.
Awesome, man. Would have been cool having a mates dad in NHB. Hope you go to meet him.Awesome that you mention Keith Hackney. I went to high school with his son. We were friends, and I think he sparked my interest in mma if I can remember correctly. That was so long ago lol.
During the time you went to school with him, did he ever try to punch you in the balls?Awesome that you mention Keith Hackney. I went to high school with his son. We were friends, and I think he sparked my interest in mma if I can remember correctly. That was so long ago lol.
For sure. More style vs style back then. Can't get away with that now as they are mostly well cross trained. Frank Shamrock was probably the best example of an early MMA cross trained fighter.How can I sum up the good old 90's, before people trained the UFC...

Rashad Evans, he was so consistently one of the best at LHW for years, and just a cool guy. Shame his career wrapped up the way it did.
Throw Ruas in the there and you have the perfect list. I had such a man-crush on him.Royce , Frank and Ken , Bas , Tank , Coleman and Kerr
But probably Tito for the showmanship
BJ Penn was my favorite fighter for a long timeBJ Penn, Nick Diaz. These guys were so fun to watch wherever the fight went. I was impressed with how talented they were. They could piece guys up and they could submit them. They both were gutsy and didn’t shy away from a scrap.
Huge Lauzon fan. He's incapable of having a boring fight.Chuck
Joe Lauzon - I was a noob at the time and had no idea who Jens Pulver was, they were making out like Lauzon had no chance, came right out and starched him
