“Pederneiras is making his debut here and is only 1-0 overall in MMA. So how come he gets a title shot already? There was some weird booking in these shows.”
Pederneiras only had one fight; but that fight saw him beat Rumina Sato who was arguably the recognized #1 LW in the world during that period, which would be why he got the title shot. Plus he’s a BJJ whiz (gave BJ Penn, Shaolin Ribeiro, Thales Leites, Jose Aldo, etc their black belts) and that meant a hell of a lot back then.
Ron Waterman was under a WWF developmental deal years ago, I remember. I never saw him until watching this show but he had a good look. Shocked that he got KO’d.
