Did you sell it off when fight pass came out?
I was actually trying to find my taped PPVs like UFC 22 but I only found those. Something cool about having them on VHS with the old school art work. Takes me back to the Hollywood Video days renting the first 10 or so events over and over again.

I had a giant duffel bag full of UFC, Pride and tons of smaller shows but I was a rambling man in my 20ās and still am to a degree. At some point I had to ditch it in a dumpster on one of my many cross country moves. There was some pretty epic shit in that dumpster. The best was Vaughn Paleli vs Aaron Brink. Vaughn went on an epic shit talking rant prefight and got straight humiliated. I wish I could find that one for old times sake.

Saboba was cool. I fought a heavyweight fight there when I weighed about 170lbs. They were looking for someone to stand in for a no show and Kimo told them Iād do it. I had to run to my car, finish my beer and grab my shorts lol.
Also, we had a couple OG meetups at the Beverly Hills JJ club. I was still wrestling competitively and worked out with Kerr and rolled with Oleg a couple times along with many others I donāt remember.
