I loved when ufc was like this each fighter brought his own fighting style it felt like mortal kombat or streetfighter
It was fun but the game has changed so much, none of the old guys would stand a chance against the new guys. The athletes know what works now. It's funny watching this... neither guy wants to throw punches or kicks. :P
It was a 80s bloodsport type b movie
Brian O'Neill Well he don’t throw a lot of punches because they knew the grecoroman style, probably he don’t want to have their face bloody.
@@bingobriano6021 Thats not true. They have found whats works *within the new rules* . This is what people chronically fail to understand; the UFC has developed rules to promote fast action and thats why whatever the study in the gym, when they get in the cage, all the UF fighters look the same. Its not because its what works, its because its what works best, with the rules. Keep in mind that most of these old fighters would be onstantly stood up or penalized for timidity, under current rules.
@flyingeagle357 Yeah, Shamrock in his prime, would beat some of the current UFC stars... to... death.
I love how in Ken Shamrock's profile it says "may throw punches." We can only hope.
*throws hammer instead*
I like when he ysed to slap people to death in pancrase
And they fought without gloves
We come a long way lol
Makes me laugh even more that it's number two on the list haha
I met Dan at a pro wrestling event a few years ago, he was the most down to earth guy ever. He spent about 20 minutes talking to me about old fights and wrestling matches and signed a few things for me.
That’s awesome
No you didn't
That’s cool now he charges $20 for a picture or signature
He is the best! Must pay for it. Because is Dan the Beast Severn. Fiat and Ferrari it's Italian cars, but not the same price.
@@lew1hunnoe156 I mean he's making a living off his name.
Dan is legitimately the nicest UFC fighter. The gentleman sent me a well thought out email back, when I sent him one while I was going through a tough time. 🙏 Dan is a REAL LIFE great man, and tough guy. 👊
And the only one that was not juiced. The real champ! I really like him for all the qualities that you said plus that.

Right. And its so fkn awesome

Hard to watch these fights without thinking about my dad who passed away in August. He would rent all of these old UFC and tyson fights. He was a green beret in the special forces and taught me how to defend myself. Obviously nothing like what these men can do but I can hold my own thanks to him. RIP dad
My condolences.
Sorry for your loss man. This was the best era of fighting imo.
sorry for your loss
Rest In Peace to your father, brother. He was a great man and father. 🙏🏽
Men like your father are what made this country great! Condolences 💯
It’s honestly amazing how well Shamrock was able to hold up grappling on his feet giving up so much weight.
He had some chemical help
Also amazing that he's wearing underwear in public
Both men were pro wrestlers in Japan where catch wrestlers Billy Robinson and Karl Gotch were coaches.
steroids
Not to mention getting punched in the nutsack as he was applying the choke
Love how you can watch a fight from 25 years ago and big John McCarthy is still the ref.
is he still around

I dont think he refs anymore...now he podcasts. Could be wrong but I thought he retired within the last year or so.

Thats whats up
Also home to the most casuals unfortunately
"Best MMA fans" You're all toxic af 😂😂😂
Four Twenty True. I saw some casual saying in a former video with Ken Shamrock in it that he deserves to be in hall of fame. Another casual said that it would be soon. Shamrock and Gracie were the first hall of fame inductees. smgdh 🤦🏻♂️
FAR From the truth
Always thought Severn looked like a huge Freddie Mercury
Chris Craven lmao u rite
This made me lol

I know it sounds crazy but I first saw Ken Shamrock through the WWF (now WWE). He was my favorite wrestler. He just has SOOO many tools. Slams, submissions, aggression and looked the part too! He should be in UFC and WWE hall of fame.
I first saw Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock in WWF few years after this
Lol ken is in the ufc hall of fame
The end of the fight is what makes these two so special! To see a genuine friendly conversation after trying to kill each other is awesome!

@@KillyJoe Thank fuck someone here realizes this Is new marketing. This is an ESPN executive making good decisions.
I’m from Japan and apologize if my English doesn’t make sense. I really like the way lot of fighters carry your background sport or organization on their shoulders. If you lose , or show weakness, it will tarnish the reputation of your background organization.(shamrock is pancrase).Gracies had BJJ on their shoulders. Fighter representing kyokushin karate was there too. So losing is not a option. They are dead serious. That’s what made UFC or MMA so exciting. I really miss those atmosphere.
Today the only thing you can show is your country's flag. So there's that
Beautifully said!
I remember the PRIDE days
I miss Pride
Your English is excellent. Sending love from Chicago to Japan for you my friend!
I feel bad for the people who missed these early days of modern mma. I was a lifelong fan of martial arts up to the point where the UFC began, and I had trained in aikido, taekwondo, and kenpo. To finally see a competition between practitioners of different styles with virtually no rules was like a dream come true. After seeing what actually worked and what didn’t, I was eventually able to get myself into a Brazilian jiujitsu school and train in Muaythai. If it wasn’t for these pioneers and those who came after them, I would probably have continued wasting my time training in useless martial arts.
Vale tudo
Taekwondo is not that useless when used in conjuction with other martial arts. Aikido on the other hand is utter bullshit. Dunno much about kenpo.
@@alfredosilvaneto agreed. Tkd may not beat Muay Thai or bjj, but it’s a solid martial art when taught correctly and mixed with other styles. Aikido is bullshit, no way around it.
So you feel bad for people who are younger than you?
I am apparently about the same age as you. haha I am a huge fan from the beginning as well. I studied jiu jitsu and kenpo for years. What I love seeing is how much the UFC has progressed in technique and science since the early days. The early days were fun but the techniques and skill these younger guys are bringing into the ring is phenomenal. I can't wait to see what another ten yrs will bring.
That “Lets get ready to rumble” was Epic.

I use to have the ken shamrock figure when i was young
Dude you’re my new best friend for this comment.
The crazy thing is they both started as professional wrestlers, became pioneers in MMA, then went back to wrestling.
Where the money was at the time
Shamrock started as a bouncer, participated in Toughman comps which was usually held in bar car parks and went to Japan to fight. He then signed up for UFC, went to professional wrestling and then back to UFC
@@deand8070 the promotion he was fighting for in Japan before Pancrase was a professional wrestling company that specialized in catchfighting which is probably the closest you'd get to real fights in a professional wrestling setting.
@@freshlyshrimped4651 nah fam thats worked shoot wrestling, Pancrase was legit shoot wrestling
Neither started out as pro wrestlers. Shamrock was a martial artist long before.
The early UFC was the pinnacle of the sport. Bare knuckles, no holds barred pure ass beating.
Yep honestly they should've made a UFC game back then when UFC was at its prime instead of making all them crappy overrated WWF games
That was so sick. ☠️
I love how Dan Severn casually walks to the octagon with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and it isn't even mentioned that he is also a professional wrestler
Both of these fellows had extensive professional wrestling careers.
@@Slop_Dogg I know that, shamrock was always a weird up and down for me, cos he pulled off the character of that professional fighter that could hurt you really well, but was also exactly that outside the character and that can be quite scary when health and safety is in perspective, and Severn didn’t even really need to do anything impressive in terms of ring work, he could come out with his 10 belts, throw a guy and put a foot on him for the 1 2 3 and it would still be a good match because of just how impressive he was in general
@@stely_official not to mention he has the best entrance music in wwe history
They both held the NWA title. Shamrock when he was in TNA.
@@cardfreak0560 agreed, equal to No More Words and just above a few others
Michael Buffer has aged about eight weeks since this
@JD Gust of Wind Dance your mom is trash but you don't see us complaining

JD Gust of Wind Dance bum
JD Gust of Wind Dance you got destroyed pussy hahahaha
JD Gust of Wind Dance sarcasm is pathetic
very good grappling, very good evasion and take down techniques and counters. this fight deserves more credit. i think after they broke from the first clinch, severn had that look of someone knowing this was going to be a bigger challenge than expected.
It would be cool to see another styles vs styles tournament like these old ufc fights. Ofc mma is great nowadays with people training all aspects , but it would be cool to see people from each individual martial art come to one of these tournaments in the modern day .
“He’s a grappler, he *also throws punches”* Lmfaooooooo

i love UFC back then. Before they standardized the gear, everyone wore whatever the hell they wanted. You got guys wearing gi's, you got guys on bare knuckles, you got guys wearing spandex. It was like watching one of those movie fight tournaments, only it was real life.
The sport used to be so raw! gosh i miss this death tournament style
And they had like 3 fights in the same night in a row 😦
This aint sport
Yeah like the 80s and 90s action films. That's what I was thinking
It’s a good thing they use gloves now. They are some crazy mfs put nobody should be out at risk for death
The respect shown at the end between them was great.
Got to meet Dan once. Truly a gentleman and a very nice guy.
I miss these kind of introduction videos. They don't talk trash against their opponent, all respect. These are true martial artists
I was just thinking that. We remember guys who were animals, but these animals could fight more than once in a night, always respectful to respectful opponents, no me too movement following them around. Such great dudes

Legendary battle :D roid beasts hugging for a couple minutes
I met Severn at a bar in Omaha Nebraska in 1997 while I was celebrating my birthday . He was super cool and bought all 25 of us a round of drinks when he found out while we were there. In person he looks like you could literally hit him with a sledgehammer and it would'nt phase him ,lol

These two men were amazing in their primes.. Shamrock looks like he was pieced together in a lab and Severn's raw horse power was unbelievable. In and outside of the ring Severn was a class act. BUT he truly became a beast when the bell rung.. Shamrock, at times, seemed like a cool guy and humble. Other times he would come across as an ass.
Yeah, lab steroids
@@J.G.Wentworth69420 He was only 6ft 205 here actually, which is nothing. He was likely on something, but we only know that because he admits being on steroids at time when fighting. WWE was when he was big. Like over 260 ripped with low body fat. His weight and muscle here isn't impressive at all for any natural lifter with great genetics. I have very very great genetics for muscle size and being ripped. I'm much bigger than shamrock in terms of muscle size then Shamrock here and leaner too. 6 ft 205 is pretty small even for a natty who lifts very very heavy and seriously. Now when he was over 250 in wwe and lean, that is when he was juicing hard and lifting really heavy. I don't know if you just know nothing about weight lifting and steroids, or if you just are one of those small guys with really bad genetics who could never build muscle yourself, so you assume even guys with small physiques with a tiny bit of muscle are on steroids because they look a lot better than you, when it's laughable to an athlete like me, because the muscle size just isn't there.
back when steroids were mandatory
Now steroids are a necessity to be at the top.

Ah man the handshake at th end. The chat in his ear. The hug. Honestly the sportsmanship.
Ken is like the only MMA person look up to. Dude is an absolute legend and a lion. 22 submission victories. Most impressive career ever. Such a legendary fighter. He represents fierceness, fitness, toughness and durability. An epic icon for the sport and a role model in real life. Not often you get those kind of individuals. Master. So inspirational and motivational. Love him. Natural charisma and influence. Feels like a movie star. Dominated every match with his expertise on the ground. By far one of if not the most talented, gifted and skilled mixed martial artist. His story is remarkable. Godfather of MMA. Class and courage. Royce easily lost the second fight the judges had it completely wrong like many other times. Ken had him in the ground and is working for the majority of the fight! That's a win! Ken's attitude and personality is always top notch. Very likable, respectable and honorable. The grandfather we wished we had.

Big John was there when Cain and Able were fighting... "K are you ready?! A are you ready?! Everything goes let's get it on!"
He was almost a fighter in UFC 2. Also, he was a big part in a lot of rules being added to the UFC, including refs being able to stop the fight.
He is real big in bjj. Seems like i saw somewhere he didnt compete because royce was. In the beginning this was about which style was best and they picked royce because he was smaller and they wanted people to see that a small guy could beat bigger opponents.
LAPD Officer too.
@@mattwoodardtn yup he trained gracie bjj and they didn't want multiple guys competing against each other. That's why Royce's big brother didn't compete
idk why but that classic "Let's get ready to rrrrrrrumble!" hyped me up so much. DIdnt know they had him announce for the UFC back then.
I really appreciate the Good Sportsmanship that was displayed. I believe that you should show respect to your opponent.
Commentator: "These two are very evenly matched!" *_55 Pound difference_*
And he won by overpowering him and stuffing his takedowns which is even crazier
This is the early days before the standardisation. 'Even' meant skill set as the last few UFC before this saw stand ups with no grappling get dominated by smaller and lighter grapplers.
Add some steroids on Ken and u can call it even lmao
Goldberg studied the videos
Well they were "evenly" matched. How the fuck do you tap out on a fucking headlock? Literally lesson number 1 in all Judo varients.
Loved the atmosphere and rawness of the old UFC events
