I always love that throwing over the fence had to be made into a rule. Every promo around UFC was two combatants locked into the cage and not a single thought went by someone is crazy enough to throw a person out.
Supposedly Big John was supposed to be competing in UFC 1 but the Gracie’s wanted someone with a small frame to prove that the fighting style was the best so Royce was chosen. Not sure if it’s just a rumor or not but that’s what I’ve read.
well assuming they never added weightclasses. that contributed to that possibility. you'd be hard pressed to see it now with the addition of weightclasses.
@@theMightyWhytey how easily do you think Brock Lesnar could pick up and throw DC out the cage? Not at all, thats why I am saying if the rule wasn't there the fact that now you're not fighting someone 200lb less than you would make it difficult to throw someone out anyways.
The fence grabbing rule was also put in place following a Tank Abbot fight where he was totally gassed out, and on the verge of being knocked out. So he ended up holding his opponent pressed against the cage by grabbing the fence with both his hands and just holding on to dear life. Some of these rules definitely helped the sport have more entertaining fights. The lay & pray was probably one of my favorite rules to first show up. I really did not enjoy the Gracie & Shamrock fight where as the narrator rightfully explains, he would just hold on and use his grappling to 'hold on'. Didn't make for entertaining fights to see someone hold on to another fighter like that for 10 minutes. If you are a fan of the sport you should definitely try to watch the first 30 or so UFCs. It's really interesting to watch them even after all this time. I had all the Pride FC & the 80 first UFCs on DVD. No clue where all those DVDs went lol. I hate myself.
I agree there are so many newbies and by that it even applies to some ppl that have been watching for 5 or 8 maybe 10 years... I've been watching since the late 90s and there isn't many fights that I haven't seen.
@Matthew Gillingham I haven't watched at all, mainly because it never interested me, but also because I'm against pay-per-view as a concept. But I'll have to say, I do enjoy mma and boxing from time to time. I enjoy exercising myself more, though; I never want to go back into "regular shape / out of shape" ever again.
I second this. Been watching since Jan and I'm going back and watching the first few UFCs. I'm up to 6, right now, and the difference between Tank Abbott and all the random dudes in the first few UFCs is like night and day.
I remember thinking how boring the Gracie v Severn fight was, too, and wishing they would JUST DO something other than Gracie's little rabbit kicks to the back. At least it ended in a triangle choke after some 15 mins, unlike the snore-fest of Gracie v Shamrock.

This is actually right in line with the type of offbeat vids they do. Everytime I feel like they have to run outta ideas I see excellent suggestions like yours. I SALUTE YOU, SIR! 😁🤔😼
The weight cut would be an easy solution. Weigh them twice, once the day before like they do right now, once right before the fight. A dehydrated fighter can't fight effectively, forcing them into the correct weight class to perform optimally.
Until you get some psycho that tries to have a big weight cut and keeps it off for 24 hours causing their kidneys and brain to meltdown. How many main events getting cancelled would it take before the promoter just lies about it? Losing money or fighter safety, which one do you think is more important to the promoter?
@@asimpson164 Any person that did attempt something like that would get destroyed in the ring because they don't have time to rehydrate and recover. There would be 0 benefit to attempting a last minute huge weight cut.
@@purpletoad352 That Chinese guy did it and died for it. I'm just saying that it is a way to game that system and that it is possible. I don't know that we would ever see it happen but it could because someone would try to rehydrate as much as they could between last weigh in and the walk out. I don't know how they do hydration testing but if One FC is doing that now and the way their fighters look it seems like there might be a way to get the results you want without being as hydrated as much as the test would indicate. The best way will probably be some combination over a longer time.
Thanks for bringing One’s water testing to light. Many people have no clue what it is and no one knows that the weight classes are different in One. One nearly quit as a company following the death their fighter. UFC and other orgs need to figure it out. Eddie is shorter than his competition but he’s very muscular. 190 walk around weight and 170 fight weight makes more sense than UFC fighters walking around at 190 and fighting at 155. Eddie is smaller than his competition but look at Conor fighting at 145 against Aldo. I’d love to see the actual fight weight of the UFC’s best.
Yeah. Perriera was 220 against Izzy, at 185 pound limit. That's just ridiculous. Imagine the damage to his own kidneys, not just the unfair size advantage. For anyone to give up 18 pounds against another world class opponent is crazy.
@Alex Amaya that's why weight cutting must be declared illegal... Everyone should fight in their actual form, and in order to combat this problem you can just make the weights the same night of the fight.
@@argacc9434 Yeah exactly. Or someone who's even played sports. I can easily go down 1 weight class by changing my diet and exercise routine to change my "natural form". I can understand the argument that was brought up on the JRE and this video that maybe have a percentage limit to prevent people's internal organs from shutting down but if theres weight classes there'll be weight cutting.
Be fair they gave cyborg an exemption for a drug that os only used to stop the effects or steroids or natural male test from growing body hair etc. So she's either a he or on the sauce
I think there needs to be a weigh in just before the fight. The game seems to be aiming alot towards cutting as much as possible since some fighters can be 20 pounds heavier after the weigh in so fighters can essentially compete a couple weight classes lower then they actually are, which goes a long way towards defeating the purpose of such small weight classes
@@roejogan5212 What would be the point of weight cutting then, if your opponent does it too? Then it's just two dehydrated malnourished dudes that can't even use the skills they have because of their physical state. And if your opponent didn't cut weight, you immediately lost. So in the end fighters would just stop weight cutting. There would be no point in doing that anymore.
@@roejogan5212 If you are literally 1 pound over the weight limit then yeah you can drop that even on the day of the fight. But then it's such a little amount that it doesn't matter anyway. The point is to stop weight cutting where you drop a massive amount for the weigh-in and gain it back by the time of the fight. You can't do that if the weigh-in is like 2 hours before the fight. If you starve and dehydrate yourself to be 10 pounds lighter 2 hours before the fight, you'll be in dogshit shape by the time the fight starts. So none would do it because it would be beyond stupid and you'd just guarantee yourself a loss.
I would love to see the UFC and all other promotions implement One's anti-weight cutting rules. It is a harsh and dangerous practice and there is no advantage to it. Everyone is cutting weight just so they won't be the one guy at a disadvantage. Not having fighters dehydrate to cut weight also gives them more stamina since they are often still recovering after rehydrating right up to the start of the fight. This leads to more exciting fights for the viewers and less fighters completely gassing-out by the end of round 1.
@@ruzreuben9755 I don't know if the procedure has changed since I made this comment, but I know at least at one point they were checking their weight right up to near the fight. I was to say about 1 or 2 hours before the fight? That was (at least at that time) the difference between most promotions and "walking weight" weigh-in procedures: you wouldn't have a chance to rehydrate and recover. And if your weight was still cut that close to the fight, you would be a dead man walking since oftentimes fighters can barely stand up during the weigh-in when they are cutting in other promotions. If they changed to just checking urine hydration level, that is different from what it used to be and does seem like it could be cheated even if it would be challenging.
Looking at boxing has always made me wonder if weight cutting doesn't increase the chance of brain trauma. Most boxers who die of a cerebral hemorrhage shortly after a fight a guys from the smaller weight classes. You'd think it would be the heavier guys because their punches have more power but it's not. That makes me wonder if they aren't still dehydrated somewhat and that as a result their brain loses some of the impact absorption that a proper level of hydration would give them.
This video should be called “Turns out all martial sports in history have rules for a reason and trying to reinvent the wheel was a dangerous idea from the beginning.”
@@MrMattnis1 Oh.. I'm not familiar with this so let me clarify: when someone says "I dunno" in his opening statement that automatically makes him a douche?
Tank Abbott was the first one to use the gloves they use now . Tank Abbott used the bottom of the fence to pry his forearm across the throat of his opponent forcing him to tap out , and Tank Abbott held the fence against Scott Farozzo the entire fight . I believe Tank Abbott deserves the credit for the NO HOLDING THE FENCE RULE .

Jabib Galt according to the FCC. Any paid product placement must be disclosed in any visual media.

5:02 Tank influenced a few things. The cage got a bit higher after he tried to throw Cal Worsham over it. No fish hooking after he did it to Oleg Taktarov. No grabbing the fence after he used it to pin Paul Varelans's head into the corner and then rain down punches.
Amazing. MMA started for people bored with rule based fighting sports, only to relearn the history of fighting sports - namely, without rules, fights are too dangerous, too boring, or too long.
No one would say MMA is the least gay sport. Their broad, rippling shoulders glistening with vaseline, wearing tiny speedos as they grab each others junk and roll around scissoring each other.

Great video. Legit commentary, good editing, very informative, and prime choice of clips. Good video all around, literally commenting just to improve stats 😄
back when the fighters were allowed to wear sponsors on their shorts.. i remember this one guy who had "condomdepot.com" written on the backside of his shorts.. like.... yeaaaah.. that dude loves butt sex.
The very first MMA fight that I watched happened to be the Gracie/Shamrock event. I couldn't believe that these two guys, lying on the floor for over half an hour, was a martial art. It was a long time before I watched another match.
Tank also caused the no-fishooking rule to be adopted, after he did it to Oleg Taktarov in UFC7... as you mentioned both fishhooking and Tank Abbot. What a goon he was.
What a great video, your presentation is so professional and respectful to the subject matter. You didn’t make any snarky remarks or need to make needless jokes to convey your points. Comedy can be great, but can also be a crutch.
You missed the "no hanging on the cage". I saw a fight once with one of the Gracie's where the opponent hung onto the cage most of the fight. The no hanging on the cage rule was put in to place after.
"Mr Shamrock you won't be allowed to wear your boots" 15 minutes before his fight with Royce Gracie - that might have been #1 All the same, nice video!

I SALUTE YOU, SIR! 😁🤔😼
Div Goel this is a great idea!
The weight cut would be an easy solution. Weigh them twice, once the day before like they do right now, once right before the fight. A dehydrated fighter can't fight effectively, forcing them into the correct weight class to perform optimally.
thats actually genius
that’s what we do in my high school wrestling matches lmfao no way they haven’t implemented this in professional matches
Until you get some psycho that tries to have a big weight cut and keeps it off for 24 hours causing their kidneys and brain to meltdown. How many main events getting cancelled would it take before the promoter just lies about it? Losing money or fighter safety, which one do you think is more important to the promoter?
@@asimpson164 Any person that did attempt something like that would get destroyed in the ring because they don't have time to rehydrate and recover. There would be 0 benefit to attempting a last minute huge weight cut.
@@purpletoad352 That Chinese guy did it and died for it. I'm just saying that it is a way to game that system and that it is possible. I don't know that we would ever see it happen but it could because someone would try to rehydrate as much as they could between last weigh in and the walk out.
I don't know how they do hydration testing but if One FC is doing that now and the way their fighters look it seems like there might be a way to get the results you want without being as hydrated as much as the test would indicate.
The best way will probably be some combination over a longer time.
I believe Tank is responsible for the "no fish hooking" rule too. He did it against Oleg Taktarov or Dan Severn. I don't recall which one.

Thanks for bringing One’s water testing to light. Many people have no clue what it is and no one knows that the weight classes are different in One. One nearly quit as a company following the death their fighter. UFC and other orgs need to figure it out. Eddie is shorter than his competition but he’s very muscular. 190 walk around weight and 170 fight weight makes more sense than UFC fighters walking around at 190 and fighting at 155. Eddie is smaller than his competition but look at Conor fighting at 145 against Aldo. I’d love to see the actual fight weight of the UFC’s best.
agreed
Yeah. Perriera was 220 against Izzy, at 185 pound limit. That's just ridiculous. Imagine the damage to his own kidneys, not just the unfair size advantage. For anyone to give up 18 pounds against another world class opponent is crazy.

@ only crazy people.
They should do another weigh-in immediately before the fight. Wanna weight cut? Fine, but that's exactly how you're fightin'.
@Alex Amaya weight cutting is cheating. If there's a limit of 120 kg and you're 145 the night of the night of the Match you should be disqualified
@Alex Amaya that's why weight cutting must be declared illegal... Everyone should fight in their actual form, and in order to combat this problem you can just make the weights the same night of the fight.
This sounds like it’s coming from someone who’s never had to cut weight for competition
@@argacc9434 Yeah exactly. Or someone who's even played sports. I can easily go down 1 weight class by changing my diet and exercise routine to change my "natural form".

@Dave Franklin Why? Not long enough for you?
@Harun Lari but true
@@Armendosmaciato please research before talking
I think there needs to be a weigh in just before the fight. The game seems to be aiming alot towards cutting as much as possible since some fighters can be 20 pounds heavier after the weigh in so fighters can essentially compete a couple weight classes lower then they actually are, which goes a long way towards defeating the purpose of such small weight classes
If they do that, people will still weight cut and it'll be even more dangerous for the fighters
@@roejogan5212 What would be the point of weight cutting then, if your opponent does it too? Then it's just two dehydrated malnourished dudes that can't even use the skills they have because of their physical state. And if your opponent didn't cut weight, you immediately lost. So in the end fighters would just stop weight cutting. There would be no point in doing that anymore.
@@neemnoa303 people did it in Boxing when the weigh ins were day-of, and people will pursue any advantage.
@@roejogan5212 If you are literally 1 pound over the weight limit then yeah you can drop that even on the day of the fight. But then it's such a little amount that it doesn't matter anyway. The point is to stop weight cutting where you drop a massive amount for the weigh-in and gain it back by the time of the fight. You can't do that if the weigh-in is like 2 hours before the fight. If you starve and dehydrate yourself to be 10 pounds lighter 2 hours before the fight, you'll be in dogshit shape by the time the fight starts. So none would do it because it would be beyond stupid and you'd just guarantee yourself a loss.
Then there will be no 135 And 145 division. Everyone will go up 1-2 weight class higher

I would love to see the UFC and all other promotions implement One's anti-weight cutting rules. It is a harsh and dangerous practice and there is no advantage to it. Everyone is cutting weight just so they won't be the one guy at a disadvantage. Not having fighters dehydrate to cut weight also gives them more stamina since they are often still recovering after rehydrating right up to the start of the fight. This leads to more exciting fights for the viewers and less fighters completely gassing-out by the end of round 1.
It doesn't work though, it only measures urine hydration and can easily be cheated
@@ruzreuben9755 I don't know if the procedure has changed since I made this comment, but I know at least at one point they were checking their weight right up to near the fight. I was to say about 1 or 2 hours before the fight? That was (at least at that time) the difference between most promotions and "walking weight" weigh-in procedures: you wouldn't have a chance to rehydrate and recover. And if your weight was still cut that close to the fight, you would be a dead man walking since oftentimes fighters can barely stand up during the weigh-in when they are cutting in other promotions. If they changed to just checking urine hydration level, that is different from what it used to be and does seem like it could be cheated even if it would be challenging.
Looking at boxing has always made me wonder if weight cutting doesn't increase the chance of brain trauma. Most boxers who die of a cerebral hemorrhage shortly after a fight a guys from the smaller weight classes. You'd think it would be the heavier guys because their punches have more power but it's not. That makes me wonder if they aren't still dehydrated somewhat and that as a result their brain loses some of the impact absorption that a proper level of hydration would give them.
