I’ve been watching old-school MMA again recently. It is a subject I dearly love and a subject about which I’ve written many articles. In viewing UFC 19 and UFC 20 back-to-back, I noticed an incredible contrast. On the one hand, there was the Lion’s Den, the first major team in mixed martial arts. I’ve addressed the camp previously and touched on how it ruined the careers of countless talents who should have been remembered as legends.
