bluey thanks
damn that 1st vid is crazy haha`
most confusing thread title eva
lol I thought the same thing
"He meant to say he posted the URL's, he just didn't embed the actual vids.
Geez does everything have to be spelled out for you retards??"
Obviously that's what was meant, but the title could have said that instead of that awkward nonsense. Is that so hard to understand?
My favorite fighter of all time. And one of the first true mma fighters along with Don Fry.
"Ruas was probably the first true MMA fighter in the UFC. He combined Muay Thai with BJJ, and even used foot stomps. Great fighter. Too bad we caught him during his late years."
My sentiments exactly!!!!!
and quit arguing over my thread title!!! ; )
My favorite fighter probalby too. There was nothing like watching that UFC where he debuted. He had a broken hand I think and didn't even tell anyone and still won.
In 1997(?) I was in the parking lot of Ralphs (LA grocery store) in Tarzana with my girlfriend. I look over and see someone sitting in the passenger seat of a car with no driver. He looks at me looking at him and I said to my GF, "I think that is Marco Ruas" of course she had no clue wtf I was talking about. I said "that guy looks like Marco Ruas, but his ears are a little too big". So I raise my hands up like I was a boxer and he smiled and got out of the car. Holy shit, it really was him. I walked over and we tried to talk but his english wan't very good at the time, he said his wife was inside getting groceries. Really cool guy. Then 2 years later I was lucky to get to take classes with him at BHJJC. I even have the complete set of his Panther Instructional videos. Amazing to get to meet and take classes with one of your MMA idols.
^cool story!
jman, that is a kickass story.
That's a cool story bro...those Panther tapes suck though huh?
I have never been more dissapointed in a fight cancellation (fighter drops out) than I was when he and Don Frye didn't end up fighting. It was signed and was the main event fight, but didn't happen. Bitteti, instead, climbed in and got his ass KICKED.
Samoa.
Met him at WEF 8.....a SUPER nice guy.
English not too good tho.
But you could just see that he WANTED to talk to fans.
