Financially and functionally, the mixed martial arts scene of the 1990s had the organization of an upended wastebasket. There are moments valued with nostalgia -- if you need a remedial course on Royce Gracie’s influence or the proliferation of opposing styles, grab a book -- but on the whole, it was just one big experimental phase, with everyone searching for the sense in a superficially disgusting sport. To stage a show without being chased out of town or arrested was considered an achievement. This is not an environment that thrives on survival, not invention........

Do you agree with the list? Think of any others that should be in there?

Well, I think some things are missing on that list. What about the tv show The Ultimate Fighter? I think it should be up there on no 1 or 2

think brock...being champ and only workin at 65 percent is a crazy story should be up there.

and the fedor ufc strikeforce tug of war..also justin ilers..former heavy weight ufc fighter shot by pscho girlfriend was slept on..crazy story

Yeah The Ultimate Fighter should be on the list for sure. Dana has said that "The Ultimate Fighter" was a last attempt to get the UFC going.
