I came back to look at this video, and started thinking of how everyone had their own distinct style, like comic book heroes and villains. Royce Gracie was the skinny grappler, Ken Shamrock was the hollywood star, Pat Smith was the kickboxer, Gerard Gordeau was the dirty fighter, Kimo was the religious nut, Tank Abbott was the walking boulder, Dan Severn was the wrestler and so on. I know that today's UFC fighters are better in every conceivable way, but it looks like they all fight the same. I miss those original days.

While they did under appreciate him, you gotta keep in mind that NOW Ken is an legend but at that time, he was not as big of a household name as he is now.. and he only wrestled about a year or 2 in WWE and had some time gaps inbetween due to injuries and he got sent down for more training because he had injured several wrestlers.

Between this, the win over Severn, and draws with Gracie and Taktarov (both fights he very likely would have won a decision), this was Shamrock's apex.

Dan Severn harping “position, position, position”…. That’s the world class wrestler in him speaking. All his training and experience: “dominant position means your back is not on the mat.” The BJJ/Submission guys emphasized the finish. Whether that finish came from on top or the bottom did not matter to them. Great example of this was when his “brother” Frank took on GM Winner Kevin Jackson. Everyone told Frank “You are crazy that Man is going to get a single/double, put you down, and grind you to a pulp. Well Mr. Jackson…. let me introduce you to an arm bar from the transition to the guard.

I don't think Shamrock ever got to feel like he could let his guard down to the critics. He dwelled so much on the opinions of the one or two people left that doubted him, that I'm guessing he never really stopped to recognize just how great he was. Him and Royce Gracie were simply the best 2 fighters of the early ufc years.

Man. These are epic. I was 9-10 years old during UFC 5 & 6, and when everyone else was into Power Rangers and WWF wrestling, I was watching these with my one friend on his dad's chipped Sattelite dish. We felt so badass watching these. Like we were criminals. Lol

So awesome....loved the look and feel of these old school UFC videos. Felt very underground. Now it's just WWE with real punches.

I love these old UFC videos. And I love fighter video introductions like these, when they have a chance to speak

Kimo gave Ken a kiss on the cheek. Class act. Total respect.

Shamrock really learned his lesson from his fights with Gracie. That’s BJJ what we see here. He was already an experienced grappler, and he learned he should double down on that. Here, he is basically the role model for modern MMA fighters.

Great to watch the different strengths all the fighters had in those days, from different backgrounds, and seeing their moves work for them, either strikers or grappler.

His last name is Nance. Ken was troubled as a youth. He was in a boys home for several years and was adopted by Bob Shamrock, the owner of a boys home. Ken broke his neck in HS and was in a halo for several months. As soon as it came off, he was a fighting and wrestling animal once again!!!

Jesus, Ken was such an instinctual beast on the ground, pure flow

I loved the early UFC days. I know they were first really geared to showing how great Gracie Jiu Jitsu was and it worked, but it was also awesome how it showed different styles and techniques.

I love mma, i watched this as it happened and i still watch today, i've loved watching the sport and fighters evolve. Ken, Frank, and even Kimo should be in every combat HOF for being brave enough to step in there when it was unknown how bada$$ people could actually be.

There really is something about these older matches. Everything is saw raw. I never saw any of these live, but I was lucky that the video store down the road always had the newest releases on VHS. My brother and I were really into it.

I remember watching these fights on PPV. I used to hold Ultimate Fighting Championship parties back in the day. My favorite will always be the Ultimate Ultimate. Always wished we could have had an Ultimate Ultimate Ultimate lol. These fights were such a solid foundation for a big part of today's MMA. Kimo, Severn, Shamrock, P. Smith, etc, etc, etc
