His fight against Clay Guida was the first MMA fight I ever watched. Been hooked ever since. If you haven’t seen it watch it! It’s an absolute war.

[@BiggityBoggity8095]

People forget that there was a time when Diego Sanchez was one of the best in the world. Dude fought for a title and had wins up two weight classes. The best of which has to be Nick Diaz.

[@Ozzyozzysheesh]

His fight with Gilbert Melendez is also really good too

[@dannyc7227]

The more recent UFC fans don’t realize the animal Diego was back in his prime. Dude fought his heart out when he stepped inside the cage.

[@111calvin6]

I love how instead of giving the fighters a couple grand a fight, dana just summons the most insane speech of all time

[@EpsteinsRope]

Dana simps like to use the excuse that the company was "broke" back then. Curious how they couldn't pay they fighters a respectable wage because "the company was bankrupt" yet they seemingly had just enough money to line Dana's pockets with 1.2m dollars that year. Dude had a 5 million dollar annual salary from day 1 (at that time). Meanwhile he had these men fight for free, and it was rare to see undercard fighters breach $5k...

[@duramaxdad]

He offered $5k KO Bonus. This show was what made ufc make it. Had the show not been popular ufc may not have been

[@thegadflygang5381]

And he acts offended which is even more insane

[@EpsteinsRope]

@@duramaxdad Someone else would have taken it over or started a new organization. They may have even paid their fighters better. We'll never know what could have been. The UFC isn't the end all be all of mixed martial arts

Crazy how the middleweights of back then were not that big compared to today's. Weight cutting has evolved so much.

[@ashb4275]

Yepp, and there's also more money in the sport now, which also means a higher grade of PEDs.

[@marklower007]

Most weren't mw they just fought there to get on the show. Kenflo for example. Also Mike sick fighting bonnar when he was 2 weight classes bigger etc.

[@briangriffith4574]

Chris leben and nate quarry were the only guys on this show that ever actually fought at middleweight in the ufc

[@Freeyourself206]

Weight cutting is cheating, dangerous and should not be tolerated. It’s disgusting and deplorable.

Yea they had too, no smaller weight classes

[@avikfett1551]

I miss the old beginning of the UFC ppv with the Gladiators. As soon as the song from Stemm would play you knew that was the war music and some shit was about to go down. Pissed off the neighbours a few times with the surround sound cranked on Ufc nights. Good times

[@thatoneguy3115]

The final vs Florian was the quickest stoppage I’ve ever seen involving “45 minute” Mazzagatti. Respect to Diego for always marching to his own drum

[@tonyc7301]

Wow. I remember watching this live and I didn’t remember the stoppage being that quick. Wow that was way too fast. Diego probably would’ve won anyway by Florian deserved more of a chance.

When that nobody Alex guy told Diego that 'he' was a nobody, I had to laugh. Here we are almost 20 years later, and time (being the great equalizer) has made Hall Of Fame level fighter Diego Sanchez who has given us some of the best early UFC fights into a respected and remembered champion, and made that other dude into forgettable mud. LOL

[@truecrimetime007]

Diego should have kept fighting like he did on the show. His career derailed when he tried to become a boxer.

Wrestling was, is and will always be the king of MMA. Strikers never had a chance. A wrestler can always become an elite striker, a striker cant become an elite wrestler.

[@cody1482]

If that were true then we would see plenty of examples of wrestlers becoming elite strikers, not just the 1 in 1000. And GSP is an example of proving "strikers can't become elite wrestlers" wrong. He became the best MMA grappler at 170 despite his base being striking.

Hey Larone can you do Rashad Evans tuf 2?

[@user-ne9en9mw7q]

What I like about TUF is Sam H's entrepreneurial spirit. His secret store that he and Peter Welch will open after the TUF champion fights. Sam knows about honor, he speaks about it after having his Town Hall meeting. Another important takeaway is the actual fights now same team members are fighting each other. Sucks that we never thought this would happen so telling you what issue we are having. Like having a torn labrum.
