I don't know whether that's true but it'd certainly explain Goodridge's ferocity!

Well, it's either that or Kimo-Royce. As for Schultz, I don't wonder "what if", I'm just glad he never came back. The tactics he used against Goodridge were absolutely despicable. Also the wrestlers back then weren't as well-rounded as they are now and so the best ones (like Kevin Jackson for instance) never really lived up to their potential.

They didn't ban that move... almost nothing other than eye gouging, fish hooking, groin strikes, etc. was banned at that point. Matt Hughes finished Newton and Penn in a similar position...

How long until Coleman shows up? The Gooodridge crucifix was almost immediately banned, as no one had even considered someone getting that position, much less how much damage it could do.

How long until Coleman shows up?

I've always loved Bohlander and that Ferrozo fight, and of course the Goodridge/Herrera finish is one of the best ever. You are right, Frye is the prototype for the modern mixed martial artist. Even though jiu-jitsu got all the early hype, wrestling proved itself to be the best base. Wait until you watch UFC IX, the Frye vs. Bitetti fight is still one of the most awesome, brutal fights in the history of the organization. And as a bonus, the best wrestler who ever fought in the UFC makes his one and only appearance, leaving us to wonder "what if" to this day. Great UFC with lots of memorable moments.

The one with Tank wasn't the greatest but he beat on him pretty good. I really enjoyed Ferrozo’s future fights. The one with Tank wasn’t the greatest but he beat on him pretty good.
