This guy is seriously one of my mma heroes, an average man, by his own admisson an average fighter, never afraid to acknowledge when he got his but kicked, was always humble....i mean this guy is so down to earth on TUF 1 he admitted that if he was ever caught in a submission he d tP his little heart out.....

@kylemendes7246 10 ай бұрын

but remember its the same fighter who got caught in a submission broke his arm, he didnt tap and knocked his opponent out with his right hand. it was before he got into TUF 1, the man is a beast and the only reason why he said he would tap was because he wouldnt be able to fight in TUF if he didnt tap

One of the best series the UFC has put out. Helps showing the people that don't know who are the guys who helped make the UFC what it is today, and showing the guys that watched these fights live a little walk down memory lane. Giving respect is what it's always about. I remember having to rent the first probably 10 ufc fights at Blockbuster on VHS.Time flies

When Forest became champion it was like a relief for fans. Kind of reminds me of Leon Edwards the way it made me feel when he won the title, its like you didnt expect to see it but you wanted him to be the champ, and gd you loved to see it when he won the title. Especially since UFC was a new thing for me and a lot of fans and we watched Forest on TUF and that epic fight with bonner and so on. The Forest era will always be remembered by me. I was a really young new fan but I remember watching all of forests fights.

I started watching like a month after the UFC, my friend told me about because I currently had ran 1 mile to and from Kung Fu with Japanese Ju Jitsu, I love it and it seemed to keep me from street fighting. Anywho, Forrest and DEFINITLY = The Iceman got me watching the events and the couple I'd missed I went Blockbuster and Century Marial Arts to rent and buy UFC DVDs, Damn, I'm getting old but I still practice MMA. Thank you UFC for changing my life forever!
