Thanks. I remember me and my friends actually rented the first UFC videos from Blockbuster back then and all watched amazed that there was a real life modern Bloodsport tournament

I enjoy this kind of stuff. The problem with the entire Gracie thing though is that people are still stuck in that 90's mindset.

I don't think the casual fan understands that the first UFC was pretty much setup to be an infomercial for BJJ.
