MMA History for the Holidays
For Boxing Day, a celebration of Britain's feudal past, I thought I'd share my aging MMA History series. I wasn't as diligent as planned in 2010, only adding two installments, but I swear I'll do more this year!
Read a few you might learn something!
II: The Ur-Brazilian MMA Feud: BJJ vs Luta Livre and the Style They Never Saw Coming
IV: Rickson Brings Jiu Jitsu Back to Japan
VIII: From Russia With Leglocks
XI: Carlson Gracie's Mighty Camp
XII: End of the UFC Glory Days
XV: Pancrase, RINGS, and Shooto 1996
XVIII: The Losses of Luta Livre
XVI: Rico Chiapparelli and the RAW Team
XIX: The Humbled PRIDE of Nobuhiko Takada
XX: Kazushi Sakuraba and Frank Shamrock Emerge at Ultimate Japan
XXI: The Amazing UFC Championship Run of Frank Shamrock
XXII: Catch Wrestling and Kazushi Sakuraba's Early PRIDE Run
