Lol

That was brutal the Chief could really move for looking like that at 350+ and I’m glad I didn’t see that title on the video before clicking cause even though his opponent was unbelievably outmatched that was still shocking and brutal lol

Nice restraint too he held back and the ref was a little slow so he could’ve murded that man

Imagine the damage this warrior couldve done in PowerSLAP.

Ring girls just doing laps around the ring without any round cards or anything. Just a walk.

Used to play as Chief in the first(?) UFC game way back when, whatever that was called.

Edit: Tapout

Nice I used to play as him in the Dreamcast game too. That’s an elite class being in that game

if they clinched against that cage, i think that thing would have came down. promoter probably told them beforehand, ‘keep it in the center’

I also loved playing as Randleman and spamming leg kicks for easy wins.

i regret not seeking out local events like that back in the day. one of my poker buddies is a low level mma ref. might go with him and see what’s going on now but it’s nothing like the old days i’m sure.

If you never saw an Indian grudge match at KOTC you havent lived.

Best known for his successful use of the Homer Simpson Strategy against Ron Waterman.

Didn’t he get poked in the eye early against Big Daddy? I wish that fight went longer. Roberts was a late replacement for Tank in that match. I’d be cool with a round robin of those 3.

I used to talk to Monte Cox on the phone back around then. He was Andre’s manager, and I talked to him a bit after the Goodridge fight. IIRC, Monte said he got hit in the nose and it might’ve been broken.

I went to a smaller/regional MN promotion a few months ago. Andre was a judge and I got to say hello. Tyrone is still reffing matches as well.

I’m surprised I’ve never seen this fight.

It’s up there with the Wes Sims powerbomb on Alseitz.

I attended that event. Fun fight in a not-so-great night of fights.

Neither ufc iowa event – especially the main events – was all that good.
