In the spirit of the OG thread about athletes that everyone misses being able to watch live, I wanted to start a UG version
What retired/inactive fighters do you miss being able to watch?
for me, the first guy to captivate my interest was Sakuraba. i wish I had been a fan when he was younger, the only bouts of his I saw live were the 2nd go with Royce and afterwards.
-Fedor
-Genki Sudo
That's a good list. I would add Evan Tanner, albeit for a different reason.
Royce Gracie
That man made me trane, and trane hard.
Sakuraba came after Royce for me.
Double Mongolion Chop!
Chuck
Matt Hughes
Rich Franklin
Tito
Chuck
Frank Shamrock
Tank Abbot
Mo Smith
Don Frye
Dan Severn
Jon Fitch
Arturo Gatti.
Chris Lytle for sure!
Desmond maralonavitch
Chuck Liddell
I used to get so hyped up for a Liddell fight, I sure miss him
Karo before the medical issues.
Ryan Gracie (dude was nuts)
Ninja rua
Sakuraba
Don Frye
Genki Sudo.
Would have been huge if he was currently fighting.
Pride. Best of pride doesnt do it justice.
You need the opening ceremony and the walk outs to really feel the magnitude of the event.
No specific fighter. Genki and saku were fun to watch, top 10 ring entrances.
shoudawhouda - Chris Lytle for sure!Damn right
Cole Konrad
Sukuraba, Mark Kerr
Randleman
Levictus Smithers
rockemsockem - Cole Konrad
Pretty sure Cole Conrad retired
