Karl Gotch and Kimura in the 60's. Don't be fooled by the size discrepancy, Karl was 8'1" 525 lbs

1910-3-10 Ft Collins Weekly Courier. This is the guy who shortly hereafter was traveling thru the south ringing in locals and had the misfortune to try and ring in a guy who was doing the same thing(Charles Olsen). McCray died from the injuries sustained in the bout.

2000-8-1 Submission Fighter. The artist formerly known as Ralph with a Sak interview


this was the back cover, not cacc but pretty cool photo. Just prior to the match, Sperry was posting a little trash talk to Almeida, creating a little buzz about the upcoming match, at the same time a blue belt enforcer was posting reasons why Sperry was cheated in the Igor Zinoviev loss, Sperry replied "Sperry lost because Sperry got his ass kicked" LOL
