This show outshone UFC big time at the time. Still one of my all time favorites, if not my favorite promotion, very influential with the usage of gloves, weight classes, even matchups etc. #s 1, 3 and 4 are all top notch, but #4 was always hard to find in stores for some reason. #2 at the Six Nations reserve was a disaster with many fighters not arriving, others going to jail, a real mess. The Quebec police, which had very bad relations with the Mohawk nation (this was a few years after the Oka crisis) had declared that they would shut it down, well it went ahead, but with a pretty bad card.![]()

That is an awesome story Mega! Being an MMA fan was a lot of work, and a pain in the ass, in the 90's lol.
I have a tape from Jeff(HnS), called Fight world Uncensored. Pele was pissed as fuck backstage after his fight wit Menne. He was going nuts pacing all over yellin when he spotted Montes guys. It ended up with him being restrained yelling at Matt Hughes in bad English, "You Shit!,You Shit.." As we all know they later met in Kuwait and Pele knocked Hughes the fuck out.![]()
