Even though it was in 1995, they didn't touch on the fact that "King of the Streets" Marco Ruas won UFC 7. He was the first fighter to really utilize leg kicks in the octagon even getting TKO stoppage using them that night. He then went on to train perhaps the fighter with the greatest and heaviest leg kickers of all-time Pedro Rizzo. Ruas is a somewhat forgotten legend in MMA history.

Oleg got done worse. Ruas got some clips and his name mentioned once for Ultimate Ultimate, Oleg got completely glossed over for winning UFC 6. Honestly goofy that both guys aren't in the UFC HOF. @@cviasco8571 and the 1994 vid was 20 mins even though 1994 has less events. Either make it longer or trim some fat like all the time they gave Royce/Shamrock at the start.

@ibezzant In these early days of the UFC each fighter just had a style but Marco Ruas was the first Mixed Martial Artist, a hybrid of sorts. He was proficient in *everything* and pretty much ahead of his time at the time. I started seeing the shift in fight IQ after seeing how well Keith Hackney did against Royce Gracie in UFC 4 then Ken Shamrock imo beating Royce in the rematch in UFC 5 even though they called it a draw. Really happy I was able to see this play out back then even though it was banned.

It's weird because there was an MMA promotion called SHOOTO which was about from 1985 (8 years before UFC). It had weight classes, well rounded mma styles and also not much BJJ but Catch Wrestling, Sambo and Judo instead. They were well ahead of their time. The UFC and Gracie family want people to FORGET about SHOOTO.
