Welcome back to yet another episode of the Old School MMA Review! Join The Fight Nerd and Zane Simon as we leap back into the octagon to continue our in-depth journey down SEG UFC memory lane. This time, we look at "UFC 5: Return of the Beast", which sees Dan Severn maul his way to the top of the eight-man tournament, the debut of Oleg Taktarov, the mystery of Andy Anderson solved at last, SAFTA in action, and the anti-climatic ending to the Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock feud.
Speaking of, Zane and I debate about who truly won that infamous first-ever superfight in the UFC, and it's time for the people to weigh in, such as viewers like you. Think of it like a PBS pledge but without the tote bags. Vote in our poll and decide who, if anyone, should have walked away as the inaugural UFC Superfight Champ!
Check out Zane's UFC 5 Fighter Redux piece for more nuggets of gold about the competitors at this event, and support the official DVD release of UFC 5 so that we don't get sued.
