I have ufc 4 on dvd. 3 rules. Win by knockout, submission or .... (prob death cant remember). Had people punching eachother in the balls, elbows to head on ground and no timer, just one round til it finished. Oh and all fights in one night. Royce Gracie was a boss

He fought when it was called No Holds Barred (not Mixed Martial Arts). It was a true cage fight. Very few rules. For that, I give this great man my respect. May he rest in peace.
