Great thread. I loved the Rea - Franklin fight. Rea actually put Franklin in some trouble in that fight.
Loved this quote from one of the commentators: "You need to finish this shit to win the fight". Cool that Matt Hughes was reffing the fight.

Wanderlei Silva's Vale-Tudo bareknuckled fights are kinda rare

Thanks so much! This is a great resource! I just watched the Couture/Horn fight. Pretty good. Interesting how Horn stood on the lower rope to get a better angle on Couture - I've never seen that done before. Looked like Horn's conditioning was nothing compared to The Natural's. Great fight!

Awesome, thanks alot...

The AA fights aren't too hard to find.

The only AA fight I have a hard time finding is the Ricco Rodriguez one. I saw it once a long time ago before I really started following the sport.

If anyone can link me, PM me please!

Although it isn't MMA, some people may be interested to see this:

Hidehiko Yoshida winning the olympic gold medal in judo

Here is one that I found interesting.

Kimo vs. Bam Bam Bigelow:

It s a good topic
I find:
shogun vs capoeira
Wanderlei vs Bormet

this would greatly attribute the VIDEO ARCHIVE...

I'm not saying any of them are hard to find, I just want to start a libraryesque thread of fights most people may not have seen... I just chose those fighters at random.

I appreciate it, but I've moving it to the lounge where this is alredy a thread for this pinned to the top of the page.Stickan I looked for this fight everywhere( including daily motion ) for the first 4 days after it happened. Props for bringing it to me

Understandable, and I realize there is a video thread stickied, I guess the best I can do is link this thread to it, or maybe you can just merge it...
