Reading Breathe by Rickson. Rickson vs Yoji Anjo. Is the video out there?
Yes,Rickson has a copy.He said on Joe Roganās podcast that he might show it someday.
Yes this is true, but the common thought is that it was not released at the time because it was basically assault and would not have promoted Gracie JJ in a positive light. And that it will not be released every even thought he statute of limitations for assault has long since run out, because it still shows Rickson in a bad light, ruthlessly beating Anjo even after he had given up. Forum member Momentum was shown the video by Rickson and his account matches everything we have heard of the video from those who were there and the account(s) of the video from Rickson and maybe his son as well.

Right, he says in the book that it was shown on Japanese television. I was wondering if it was anywhere online squirreled away somewhere. In my search, this thread came up. Best lead I have found.
I donāt remember this, Japanese tv and magazines showed still photos from before and after the fight as far as I remember. These have been posted.
My understanding was that he played a copy of the video for the Japanese press so that they would see that Anjoās claims of him being jumped by Ricksonās students were false and that it was a fair fight. Rickson allowed the press to view the recording in itās entirety but it was never broadcast to the public nor was any footage from the tape ever released.

That looks to be correct. Here is the exact excerpt from Breathe:
āThen I told my representative to set up a press conference in Tokyo where we could show the video of the fight. After the Japanese press watched the video, the fans learned that this was a fair fight and that Anjo had lied.ā
It would be cool to read what the press said about the video at least.

Fuck I just lost 800 GB of MMA / NHB footage. My fucking computer wonāt start. Iāve been meaning to back it up like I have my other 5 TB of footage, but fuck, I knew my comp was in its last days at 10 years old a cheap Dell. Hopefully a comp shop can recover my data.

D@@@mmmnnn,
Some can do wonders.I would be heartbroken.I was disturbed losing my Photobucket pictures.
I lost everything MMA related D through J .
Like every organization that had the name. 700gb. But since a lot was such old footage itās low quality and each files is relatively small so it seems wayyy more than 700gb . I gotta contact someone. Shit sucks. Just another stinging reminder to Always back your stuff up.

Did you have any of Dan Severnās Danger Zones?
I donāt know, it was one of the last big packs I downloaded with torrents and I never really looked through it except for those Extreme Challenge events
This may be the time for a shameful plug. The Kakutogi Road is constantly putting up various MMA/Kickboxing/puroresu/etc. Almost a thousand events are up now, and around 30-50 are added every week. The difference is that these arenāt crappy torrents. Almost all of these all sourced from the original VHS, DVD, original PPV broadcast, or satellite.

The Kakutogi Road Patreon os in the process of putting up all the original UFC PPVās. Uncut, and untouched by Zuffa. Right now 1-16, and a few others are up. I add more every month, and could certainly add 32.
