it became instantly clear that rounds, weight classes etc were needed to make it entertaining. it also became clear that watching a boxer fight a wrestler was going to be boring as fuck 9 times out of 10.
I totally loved the first ones without weight classes, rules, etc. The guy dragging the cross I think was Kimo, he went on to fight in K1 and Pride I think, as well as more fights in the UFC.

I wish they could bring back the old days. Nothing like seeing a sumo wrestler take on a judo guy.
