banned fights? hmmm... this sounds like something i want to see.... why were they banned? were they style vs style? how do i get a hold of a copy? can you download them somewhere on the net?
i kinda think that the UFC fights now days are more entertaining. MMA is the best type of MA for that format so it is a better fight when both guys know it. in the early days you have TKD guys trying to grapple because they figure the boxer they are fighting won't know what to do. so then you don't get to see a TKD vs. Boxing match for example, you see two guys trying to grapple when they don't know what they are doing. the early days would have been much more interesting if grappling was not set up to be the only MA that worked. you will notice that all the fights are carefully selected so that the likely hood that Royce Gracie will face a style that is hard to grapple with (like sumo for example) is not high.
