Had that not happened, Bobby southworth wouldn't have called Chris leben a f@ther1355 b@5tard, which caused him to sleep outside, then get sprayed by the hose leading to him punching through the door, making for the most iconic scene of that season lol crazy to think about it that way.

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

[@gabegarcia4995]

I was 23 years old when season one of ultimate fighter came out I am now 43 years old It trips me out to this day every time I watch Diego Sanchez in season one Here’s the thing....How in the hell did this kid Diego have it figured out back then that it was important to incorporate yoga with his MMA😮 And how did he know how important it was to do ice punches after training None of those other guys had it figured out back then except for Diego To this day this is something you hear Joe Rogan talk about how important yoga is and how important ice plunging mixed with sauna treatment is important to recoup your body 💯

THE biggest mistake any fighter makes not taking the other side seriously. Getting hit increases adrenelin.

[@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

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