I am watching UFC 4 mostly because I want to see Al Snow making a sarcastic comment when someone tried interviewing Dan Severn after his fight.
Anyhoo, here comes Joe Son (whose art is "Joe Son-Do") against Keith Hackney.
Son puts on a front choke, but Hackney trips him down and begins punching him in the nuts many times. Keith then pulled Son's trunks down, exposing his ass and Son soon tapped out.
Suddenly I don't have a problem with the rules of today

When hearing UFC events reviewed by normal viewers. It almost seems like I'm reading 1997 wrestling results. AND I LOVE IT! UFC is more scripted then WWE  |

I am very unfamiliar with early UFC so I just watched both of said fights and they both made me feel uncomfortable for different reasons.
I was familiar with Severn from his WWF days. And I remember his feud with Ken Shamrock and everything and they would always talk about their past rivalry in the UFC. But watching that match, I legitimately felt that Severn was going to literally buttfuck Royce Gracie. I never get that feeling during current UFC fights.
And Joe Son against Keith Hackney made me feel uncomfortable for obvious reasons.

I prefer UFC now vs back then. On one hand, it was cool when you had different styles facing off, but it boiled down to Gracies and anyone doing BJJ just strangling everyone with their gis, so that was a downside. Plus the old tournament format had boring as fuck main events where two exhausted guys (or alternates) rolled around to save energy.

I definitely miss the old days. I saw an ad for UFC VI in the back of one of the Apter mags and ordered the PPV out of curiosity. After watching Ken Shamrock choke out Dan Severn and Oleg Taktarov's performances in the tournament, I was hooked. I immediately went back and watched the previous events and then followed it for a couple years until Ultimate Japan. After that, it somehow fell off the radar. This may have been during the dark years when a lot of the established stars were taking off. By the time I saw some again, in 2002 or so, it was hardly recognizable. I couldn't believe all the rules they had, and the rounds seemed completely strange too. I've gotten used to it and I understand why so much of it had to change, but I still miss the old days in a way and think it had a certain charm that is lacking now.
