2006.
That's the last time I signed on to the UG. What a memorable year. We were all mesmorized by Basic Instinct 2 in the theaters. Saddam was still on the loose. A young Dave Chapelle was teaching us how to laugh. Mirko Cro Cop was the GP Champion.
Can't believe my login still works.
Anyway, I'm back, bitches.
Are all my old friends still here?
Go back to sleep.
just kidding.
I'm fucked up and thought you should know that I like Toby Keith's music. Welcome back.
TuriAltavilla - Saddam was still on the loose.
Nah, he was on death row, was executed at the end of 06 I believe.
2006 I was still at PRIDE and as we all know that's when the downward spiral was going on.
Then Pro Elite and that was an intense couple years.
I am now running my own local MMA promotion in Hollywood. Our next show is Sept 11th. www.uofmma.com
Meanwhile good to be back here!
Bruno, good call.
Wikipedia said Saddam was captured in 03. Seems like just yesterday they were pulling his big bearded ass out of that cave he was hiding in.
Hey turi... Hope alls been well! 
Greg is that you?
How is the promotion going?
yea sir...NAAFS is doing real well thanks for asking. Good luck with your show my friend!
There aren't many old-timers left here now. I can't remember the last time I've seen a "Rickson by armbar" post.
Ditto Greg! Best with your shows as well.
Interpromotional rivalry baby! So cal vs Ohio!!!!! ;)
Mush, one of the youngsters in my last show didn't know what PRIDE was. Never even heard of it. Not a surprise because it's long gone and that's the way things go, but still gets you thinking of different generations of MMA fans and what they were exposed to.
We should talk and set something up. We've got some great ammys in the NAAFS and a stable of up and coming pros that will be making some noise in the very near future. Keep an eye on stipe Miocic at ufc 136. He's our former hw champ and an absolute beast.
Sounds good Greg!
I know you know this but it's very rewarding to work with these up and coming fighters and see them get where they want to go.
