As long as it’s a good memory that’s what counts most!
But would have been fun to beat that guy

Yea, $1200. To be a last minute replacement, ride in my new pickup to Chicago area while the boys took turns driving, a thousand to one underdog.
Got to watch my son’s hang out with what I consider, cool people. It was wonderful.
Two weeks before, I had gotten to watch my oldest hang out with Shonie Carter, that was cool too😊
Memories are precious.

I know where they are. Per my investigation one man has every pair from every event and they are all signed.
Will not reveal name.

What was the point of not letting fighters keep the gloves? Intend to sell later as memorabilia?
In the smaller shows, it was so they could be re-used. In the bigger shows, they were offered for sale. I cornered a buddy at a mid sized show. We were told that if the gloves were not returned, the fighter would not be paid.
Mark Kerr supposedly was able to get out 1 of his Pride pairs and were displayed at his buddy’s gym. Def the exception to the rule.

Was Tank the first one to use a modern MMA glove style?

Thanks for answering dude. Makes sense.
No,Melton Bowen was.
Felix Mitchell came in with a pair of some fingerless gloves (before Melton) and BJM would not let him wear them.

Melton Bowen
What brand did he use? Those would be cool to keep if there’s ever an MMA brick and mortar hall of fame
No idea what-so-ever.

They’re just like the old Harbinger gloves, down to the palm bar you had to cut out. I’ve still got a set of those floating around somewhere.

Notice that Felix Mitchell comes out in a red pair of fingerless MMA gloves at UFC 3 & BJM doesn’t let him wear them.
That’s crazy. Probably like $20,000 worth of gloves! High end collectors from Japan and Russia would probably hop all over Fedors. I wonder if Fedor got to keep his? From what I heard nobody got to keep them.
Those Affliction shows were epic. Just the whole timing of it and seeing new fights and matchups, I was so stoked. I signed up for the street team and got a shitload of fliers and posters. If you ever had an Affliction flier on your car in HB it came from me! I was so stoked and wanted it to succeed. My only regret is about 8 years ago I threw away about 500 fliers and 20 promotional posters left over. I figured they were worthless.

LOL. I went to the Beverly Hills presser and left with 1,000 posters and 150 god awful tshirts. Luckily, Fedor was nice like always and signed a bunch of stuff too.
