I remember Ken Shamrock and friends in the original, low quality UFC fights.
I used to rent the videos from the library for UFC 5,6,7, etc.
They'd pit a sumo against a 160 pound blackbelt, etc.
And they all fought several times each night.
You would have 8 fighters, then 4, then the 2 left in the final. You'd have to win three fights IN THE SAME NIGHT to take the title. It was awesome seeing guys with busted faces ENTERING a fight. Then it was no-time limit I believe... they fought until somebody lost, period. No rounds.
Anyone have links to those low budget early fights? they were WAY better IMHO.
