Classic MMA Re-Hash, Video #4 Many probably don't know about this particular fighter and it's expected of them. Eric Pele never hit super stardom in our sport, but he did have a pretty nice run in MMA back in its early days. He fought the likes of Bobby Hoffman (twice), Antonio Silva, and Aleksander Emelianeko. With a tough chin and a hard punch, my respect has always been with Pele.
