First UFC fight ever | UFC 1

i used to rent these VHS when they first came out at Movie Gallery LOL before i drove, on tuesdays (movie and music release day), i would walk about 3/4 mile to a shopping center that had a video store and a record store! NO INTERNET!!! whoo hoo!

When the white guy enters the ring for his introduction, he throws Roman salutes.

Part of the reason for no head kicks on a downed opponent was established in the UFC not longer after this.

Holy crap that Samoan was in Hawaii 5-0 for every season.

LOL ref called time cause dude was knocked out LOL #CallitAsWeGo

These were the good ol days no rules no weight class

Kickin it old school.

Oh the good old days. 30 seconds in and a dude is being kicked in the face on the ground.

If I recall right, there was a tooth stuck in the foot of the guy who threw the kick

Watched it with dads black box remember it like it was yesterday

He was my teacher, back in the days. From Holland, The Hague.

Oh shit thats the guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshal 😂

Big boi didn’t do shit yet and was sweating like a mug

@donc80006256 My dad had a video store and i remember the first ufc coming out on vhs around the same time Bum Fights came out both weee awesome nothing else like them

He kicked his teeth out……next round was on the same day…insane nowadays

What in the was big dude going for when he rushed in like that 😭

I’m gonna tell my kids this was tai tuivasa vs alexsandr volkonovski

I remember renting these on VHS 🧓

We watched UFC 2 and IIRC some dude said his martial art style was Ninjitsu?!?!? Which sounded impressive to a young ghost until some kick-boxer just about put white Sho Kasugi’s face through the octagon floor …

Loved seeing that nigger get his teeth knocked out when I was a kid

Soccer kicks should still be allowed…

I believe he broke his foot. Messed him up in fights after

Lmao was that commenter Ron Simmons from the WWF days?? Lol wow

Classic UFC 1! Teila Tuli vs Gordeau was wild – sumo power vs kickboxing precision. Nostalgia hits hard 🔥

They are actually in the same weight class too! They just carry it differently 😂

We need this ruleset with today's talent

What year was this?

@Surabees My favorite part was the weird fighting styles like “Hawaiian Bone Breaking” and “Christian Karate.”

This was back when I watched ufc, you'd rent the VHS' on weekends. You were truly the ultimate fighter because if you won you had to move on and fight multiple more times to win it all!

Back before Dana when UFC was good

This clip and the Gary Goodrich crucifix elbow... My favorite clips from UFC of all time..

At least at one point in time, my local Tommy K's video store used to keep these VHS in the adults only section, so I had to muster up the courage to go back there and pull these video tapes off the shelf. I believe they were either previously or later out in the sports section.

Just try to imagine what would have been the betting odds on this fight …

I’d be more concerned with the masses on his brain stem 👀

One of my first rentals ever at Blockbuster
