The first UFC had a cool fight between a Savate guy and a sumo. He kicked the sumo's toothout. Not sure where to find it I saw it years ago.

Shawn, what you wrote is totally true. I wish the UFC fighters fought with a uniform similar to Russian Sambo. The fights would be more exciting from a spectator's point of view (there would be a greater number of throws/takedowns, chokes, footwork, savate style kicks in addition to Thai style kicks and more armbars) and safer because there'd be more submissions by choke and one couldn't rely on the 'sweaty arm' defense against armbars. Just my opinion. Any comments? J~
