– Apparently not everyone is as invincible as the title suggests.

The SmarK Rant for UFC 111: Georges St. Pierre v. Dan Hardy – Live from New Jersey. – Your hosts are Mike Goldberg & Joe Rogan. – I didn’t have my laptop and was watching with a group, so I’m gonna have to do this mostly from memory.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship VII: The Brawl in Buffalo! – Live from Buffalo, NY. – Your hosts are Bruce Beck and Jeff Blatnick, with Don "The Dragon" Wilson on color. – The draw seems like an easy win for Marco Ruas, along with a Shamrock v. Oleg superfight.

Ultimate Fighting Championship V: Return of the Beast! (April 1995) – Live from Charlotte, North Carolina – Your hosts are Bruce Beck and Jeff Blatnick. – More tweaking of the rules, as we now have 20 minute time limits instead of the previous "fight until the death" format.

So we’re back to an 8-man tournament again after the failed experiment that was the 16-man tournament of UFC 2. One minor rule change, as Big John now has the power to stop matches.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship II: No Way Out! (March 11 1994) – This was back when SEG favored roman numerals in their titles. – Changes in the format: 16 men in the tournament (Royce Gracie v. 15 tomato cans, basically), no rounds this time. – The original announce crew is gone and replaced with Brian [...]

Take a trip all the way back to the humble, “human cockfighting” beginnings of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, as Scott Keith reviews the very first show from 1993.
