First UFC fights were tough as fuck. Not that I would put a step on a ring nowadays, but damn, back in the days, one could write the fight rules on the side of a metro ticket.

Remember him from those early UFCs, also had a few funny scenes in Oz back in the day -

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

I gotta give respect and props to this man, Emmanuel Yarborough. He fought in the UFC when it was not popular. 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.

best part of 350lbs overweight and he dies.
Hardly a shock.

Clearly starting his Arnold Classic prep. Should glide into the contest in peak condition.
