The Tragic Story Of A UFC Fighter That Makes You Think ... 
Спорт
The high cost of being a champion!! You don't hear about the fighters that never won but still ended up like this
Guys who never did contests, but who are punch drunk from sparring only..
He already said MMA didn't fucked him up, it was the K-1 bouts. It was hard to watch, he was getting destroyed in K-1, he was getting KTFO in almost all his K-1 fights.
I remember him getting DESTROYED by Glaube Feitosa, it was a brutal KO.
This man still has the most vicious ko in UFC history.
100%. 8 elbows to the temple of a guy who’s trapped in the crucifix position, and he was out cold after the very first one.
Was he the guy who got someone in the crucifix and elbowed him into the shadow realm?
Mf almost killed that guy...in fact caused many face-craneal fractures
@@jonathanshaw7355 Yes.
It was NASTY
CTE aint no joke
"The star that shines twice as bright, fades twice as fast"-- from the original Blade Runner.
this was really great video of what happens to fighters after their careers are done
I didn't know any of this. Ty for the video. Well done. What a beast in his prime.
Big daddy, Canadian legend
Meet him few times
Remember this man in the early UFC days! Hope he does okay - hang in there!!!!
Humans weren’t designed to be bashed about. It’s entertaining though 😂
legend. so sad. much respect stepping in the ring/cage. Thank you for the memories
Sad story much respect to this legend
I think that gym owners need to be more responsible for fighters than the promotions, athletic commissions or governing bodies around the world. I say this because it's not necessarily the fight that is causing CTE. It's fighting after getting a concussion. Fighters get suspended, I think for 90 days, after getting KO'd and think it should be at least 6 months depending how bad it was. The only issue with that is that the fighters will then go home after a fight and start training again a week later. So instead of resting and letting the brain heal they will start sparring way too soon. Gyms should have certain rules in place about not letting fighters spar for however long it takes to heal after getting a concussion and should be penalized if they allow it. I think that they should be held responsible for it too
Gym and coaches are moneygrabs.. no gym cares anyones heath lol pockets they care about pockets
@@yknows3158 Exactly, they'll let their fighters die in a cage or ring because they can make more money if they win. These gyms and coaches should all make the same money win or lose. Then maybe they'd protect their fighters
It's hard cuz its an individual choice. No one is forcing u to train. No one is forcing u to fight. U choose to knowing full well the consequences. Thats not on the gym or anything or anyone else.
Maybe the fighter should be held responsible? If the doctor says you shouldn't spar for X weeks, don't spar. The gym, coach etc has no way of knowing what the doctors orders are due to HIPPA laws, so how are you going to hold the coach accountable? He or she never truly knows what the fighters doctor says.
@@scots2129 exactly.....what an idea!
Working at the Honda plant was a dream job for many back in the day.
Still a great job.
This guy is amazing and a really nice guy. I’ve recently trained with him and it was one of the most humbling experiences in my life. Dude is ridiculously strong. He is in the Barrie hall of fame and is highly respected in this city.
He was a good fighter and a arm wrestler
Strong lifter too.
In his prime Gary is the best arm wrestler
you are an amazing man and wont be forgotten
great video
God bless you Gary.And thank-you for the memories.
This is so sad, but even here, hes a warrior.
Brave man for sharing his story hands up chin down as always
I didn't know there was ever a bright side
I remember him as a fighter that was happy to dish it out, but quit as soon as it got rough for him.
A version of Bob sapp
As he should. Once you start getting knocked out leave. No point of living your life like he is now
Goodridge one of the greatest ARM WRESTLERS of all time.
Better to not get involved in strike heavy competition. If you value your health know when to retire.
That's terrible. I remember big daddy. He is one of the OGs of MMA. No concussion protocols back then & a lot of mismatches in skill level also. Crazy to think you could throw someone that earned a black belt in a month into a cage or into K-1 against the world's best kickboxers. Early MMA was really a freak show for blood lust. It's not the same sport that it is today. He did pretty well in MMA. despite it all. Probably not a good idea to throw him into K-1 though. He also fought well past his prime. I'm glad Gary gets that free healthcare in Canada. I've seen documentaries of pro wrestlers that are bankrupted with medical bills despite earning a decent living in the US. It's terrible. I'm glad he's got a family that loves him.
He had a black belt in a TMA Kuk Sool Won in 1 month…hahaha I have a brown belt in KSW, and they have hundred of “wrist grab” techniques, there is no situation in MMA where you grab their wrists.
Back when he was in ultimate fighter they did tournaments, some fighters fighting 3 times in one night. It was literally a blood sport with no rules or time limit except it was over when one person tapped or was incapacitated. The wild wild west times of MMA.
Antonio Bigfoot Silva needs to watch this
It's already too late for BigFoot, he has forayed in bare-knuckle boxing 😢
Bigfoot is done.
Just met Gary at the HAVOC BARE KNUCKLE event in red deer Alberta he seems to be doing very well these days considering. He's a legend
Here to give this Man his flowers and Much Respect for His Legacy!
This brother is loved immensely! Thank you to the channel for sharing this story. Coming from a long time fan of Gary Goodridge
Gary has been around since very early UFC , Pride days Still remember him getting Ragdolled by Fedor but hes a Legend
Did not mention that he almost killed his opponent in his first UFC fight and outweighted his opponent by atleast 20 kilos!
Everyone knows you will pay the price for all the blows..... Its universal law, its very very unhealthy ! But .....fame, status money and bling seems more... important
Always has been back to 500bc Pankration and undoubtedly 1000s of years before back to early men you pick up a stone I pick up a stick
I was just thinking about Big Daddy!!!! Him Vs the great Don Fry
After 1 mont black belt,
Machev :who gave you black belt Brother
We have to check this
@@SwampOperator😂
"In which he quite succeeded." Lol
I remember seeing Gary in the early UFC fights he got a guy in a crucifix and it was brutal finished the guy quickly!
garry goodridge use to come to my thai boxing gym in scarborough siam number 1. i was about 15 yrs old and he was a huge guy. didnt know about this.
My friend,and it hurts to see this,his mind used to be fast as his hit arm wrestling or boxing when I knew him
I remember watching a doc of him on youtube years ago when i was tripping on mushrooms and it ruined my night
Lol definitely not something u should be watching whilst tripping
ya definintely not..i felt as if i was the one who did this to him and felt so guilty and depressed@@SAsh-zg6ln
Dude was a great arm wrestler as well.
🤘🤘 *He was also a BEAST Arm wrestler who destroyed John Brzenk.*
Just like Rome…the greatest gladiators live a great life backed by the ruler until a newer greater fighter appears
He is a badass those elbows were vicious at da ufc
Legend...
Hmmm, who would ever think that getting smashed in the head could be bad for you....
Big daddy one of the very best and most entertaining
Second the best
Dude was a legit badass!
Who wud have thought a 110 kg man smashing you in the head wud cause any damage.
I want to be fighter and i know the risks to it everything that it mental and the Dedication you have to go through it
Sounds like you already have brain damage
Been there, done that. Not worth it. And way too many things have to go exactly right -- EVERY day.
Not mma, Most of his brain damages came from K-1 era.
I never knew when he made his UFC debut, he barely has training. One month to black belt and some boxing is incredible considering he elbowed his first opponent to unconsciousness and went 19 minutes with a gold Olympian wrestler for his first two fights
I love the ufc
I met him 3 or 4 years ago with my kid at a comic con , I went cause he was there . Told him I don't care about comics. He agreed with me than sold me his comic. his table wasn't really active . He held my kid. My kid thought he was a super hero. Could tell he wasn't with it though. He did smile when he hold my kid.
Tough
He was a journeyman still sad what happened
That dude is a tough MF.Maybe not technically top of the line,but heart of a fighter.
In a underneath crucifix. Gary Goodrich proceeded to deliver knees and elbows to both sides of a man's skull, right on his temples. This technique ultimately rendered this man unconscious. And proceeded to drop my jaw to the floor and I let loose my first ever WTF?!?!
I met Gary years ago downtown Barrie at a bar called Roxannes or Ruannes or something like that.. My mom and her bf knew him because he kinda dated moms bf's sister before.. I think at the time he was the world arm wrestling champion whivh amazed me cus Over the Top wpas an awesome movie forva little boy lat the time lol..I was maybe 8 or 10 so it was around 1988-1990. Anyway I just remember seeing this huge sort of scary looking guy and my moms saus hey "Gary c'mere and say hi to my son" He came right over and sat with us and immediately the scariness went away and he was the nicest guy. He sat with us and gave me all the attention and let me beat him in an arm wrestle. I didn't know who he was that day but definitely knew after and always remembered that day and cheered for him. I've heard ppl say bad things about him but to me he seemed like the nicest guy ever and I'll never forget the time he took with me. At the beginning you said he's from Barrie, I may be wrong but I think he's actually from Alliston, which is a smaller town close to Barrie.. just saying. Hope is doing well.

I had the chance to compete against Gary in Armwestling, in the 90th, would not want to try him in the cage Lolll
Papi Grande
Why is this such a tragic story? Yes, it's not a game of badminton. Gary Goodridge knew this and he signed up for it. It's free will. You have every right to pursue happiness, in this world. No one owns him. He is owed no money because of his injuries.
If you don't like the sport, there is always barber college. Plenty of guys who lay brick for a living end up with lots of injuries, too. They make a fraction of what this man made for one fight.
That is life. It is why you get the bimbos and the Ferraris.
Good point. No sympathy for this psycho. He said he enjoys beating up people. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
He took a beating for 2 decades?What did u expect?
He’s fought a lot of boxing / kickboxing matches.. probably more than mma fights.
At least he is still disciplined and takes his meds.
The Fantastic 4th
Stephan Bonner is a perfect example
Also one of the strongest and most feared Arm Wrestlers of the 90's. Most don't know but the AW's of today that know him all agree it's sad to think about who he was and how much talent he had.
Only people that live vicariously.
Holy crap - are all the scripts for these written by AI?
THIS IS WHY FIGHTERS NEED TO BE PAID MORE AND NOT BE SCREWED BY DANA WHITE
The UFC paid $75 million for rival Pride FC. That’s where the money goes to buy rivals. That money should go back to fighters.
Dana white is making million dollars using these people
I seen his fights and read his bio. He said the braindamage problably came from k1 kickboxing not mma. K1 hit harder and is only standup knockout
The commentator keeps calling him Henry
Big Daddy handed out some CTE to opponents also.
WE LOVE YOU GARY !!!! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF ;)
It all depends on ur style of fighting I don’t get y people always bring up the negative with boxing and mma yes I am aware it’s dangerous but u can avoid head trauma u just have to have solid defense and have Normal training schedule life is already dangerous so y not take the risk and receive the reward loom at mayweather for example the list goes on so anyone looking to take part in combat Sports I am to just go for it no need to listen to other people perspective
Max Holloway!
This tears my heart apart
The amount of ai used in the scripting is unbelievable, listen closely to each word
I didn't know he had to get a "black belt" in 2 months from a strip mall macdojo to get a licence to fight? 😆 Thank god they got rid of that bullshit rule and thankfully it didn't effect his fighting style! 🥊🥊💥💥
It was Kuk Sool Won. A TMA that has a hundred techniques on wrist-grabs.
Big daddy goodridge
If you dont know getting hit in the head repeatedly is bad for you, that's your own fault.
lol rage bait
Nobody knew back then. Stop acting high and mighty.
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot nobody knew getting hit in the head was bad for you? Helmets have been around for centuries, I'm pretty sure it was figured out a long time ago.
this mans daughter is my coworkers step sister lol the guy is apparently pretty messed up
3rd 😞
7 out of 10 donated alzheimer brain had Lyme bacteria in it, FACT I have the same exact problems as these people do With the bio weapon Lyme disease that completely ruined my life 15 years ago. I can’t remember what I’m talking about , I forget midsentence have the same exact symptoms as these people do but the med bed is coming to save all of us Lyme disease Warriors everyone with every disease including CTE. Between the med bed and Psilocybin I don’t think this problem will exist I know Lyme disease won’t I hope CTE doesn’t either
This AI video and narration is horrible. You need to get it under control.
It makes you wonder whats so different about the Muay Thai fighters. Those crazy ass guys will have legit 200 fights before they are 30 and do it well into their 40's. Legit, what are those Thai guys made out of?
Dreadfull narration.
Big Daddy Goodridge is the greatest MMA fighter the world has ever seen a living legend that will never be forgotten !
He fought Igor vovchanchyn twice he's made of iron ❤ God bless u big daddy woow Gary would lock a man's arm under there body and shout wooow and knocked them out from the guard he would let his opponents hit him he tried that with vov 😂😂😂 ❤ peace and love
You have no idea wtf you were talking about. Gary was a horrible striker, never won any boxing or kickboxing titles amateur or pro. Never won any wrestling, never trained in any. He was an unskilled brawler an had a subpar journeyman record. You're video is horribly inaccurate
Sry but if your job involves regularly getting head trauma you need to invest in good medical care, and if you're not earning enough then just get a regular job
So simple quick, let me get you a time machine.
Lmao, imagine dedicating your whole life to fighting and training in 2024. There are so many professions to chose from, but you decide to become a braindead fighter :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
Imagine dedicating your life to a dead end job for money, rather than choosing to follow a dream and live a life you love. Your bosses are going to love you. Enjoy those weekends, holidays, and OT.
@@jordanbabcock9349 good luck living with cte, brain damage, epilepsy and other injuries bybthe age of 40.
It all depends on how u train bro u can avoid head trauma max Holloway doesn’t spar anymore
