Very good read,i think rep is a must. A few of these caught me off guard

I'll have to go back and watch PRIDE 22 to watch for the note pass from Page lol.

Its crazy how Tanner got the most triangle's in MMA, didnt see that coming.

#19 is crazy, Andersons the man!!, its funny how everyone was questioning his TDD after his fight with Lutter

Also Forrest's first fight was with Severn??, anyone know the outcome of that fight?

Also #20, Rickson Gracie, he was defeated by American Ron Tripp by "Total Victory via uchi-mata" in 45 seconds. What the hell is a uchi-mata??!! lol sorry if thats a newb question but i seriously have no idea, is it a gi choke?

Its a judo throw, which means it wasn't really a sub grappling or MMA fight of any kind so yeah, it doesn't really count.

Yeah, after the uchi-mata Rickson would've been ready to work so I don't really count that.

I'll have to watch the Rampage v Igor fight to see if I see that, i'm not sure how much I believe some of these things. Interesting read none the less.

19 is not true. The article was taken from a sherdog thread, where a ton of interesting stuff is true. 19 was contributed by a known sherdog troll

The thread - Facts about MMA that some may not know/remember - Sherdog Mixed Martial Arts Forums

The troll's post - Facts about MMA that some may not know/remember - Page 4 - Sherdog Mixed Martial Arts Forums

anderson silva allowed lutter to take him down so that silva could beat him on the ground to avenge pele, andersons training partner.

it was no accident what anderson did to chris leben

the competition is easier in japan

fedor hasnt fought a ranked HW in 3 years

nog doesnt lose fights, he just runs outta time
