Not to disappoint, but I have not heard of these fighters. They must go way back. Probably some that go so far back before I was born. That's pretty interesting though. Are these guys what got you into martial arts?

Well, I watched BJ Penn choke out Matt Hughes and thought BJJ would be something I'd like to learn, and now here I am. It's weird though because I used to watch the old Pride fights on TV but it wasn't until I got older that martial arts hooked me. I figure it probably had to do a lot with the fact I was just going to school and working without doing anything proactive.
