Hoost in the inaugural UFC tournament? I wonder if Royce Gracie would have escaped alive.
At UFC 36, Matt Hughes fought Shooto’s former MW (167 lb) Champ, Sakurai, because the current Champ had trouble getting a visa. The Champ was Anderson Silva.

"At PRIDE Critical Countdown Absolute, during the stare down when the ref finished the rules, Josh Barnett said to Mark Hunt “and no flying ass drops”
I betcha Wandy wishes he had thrown that one in too

Still doenst seem fair.

Not much of a choke either. One hand pushing into the neck.
Maybe all those groin strikes were so Joe Son wouldn't gang rape anyone else
