Any old time UFC fans here...?? - 02/08/24 02:48 AM
I'm trying to remember a fighters name...pretty sure it was pre-UFC, and all the weight classes and rules etc. Looking for the name/video of a bald fighter who had a pony tail in the center of his skull, was a big man and if I remember was quite successful. The fight I'm looking for the other guy quickly grabbed hold of the others pony tail and had complete control of the fight from there on...any info??

I remember that fight but the name evades me.
The name Keith kinda rings a bell?

Royce Gracie latched on to the ponytail of a 250 pounder by the name of Kimo. There is a video of it in UFC Fight Pass but I saw it on FB.

No, it wasn't Royce Gracie....I think it was even before his time. Some of the earliest fighting I saw.....

Kimo is who I thought of. Was the guy Simoan?

I remember Joyce using an opponents white shirt to choke him out.

What about the 2 pretty boys who fought in an early UFC? They agreed to no face strikes or hair pulling before the fight…lol. Dang pansies!

Brock Lesner was a homegrown South Dakota boy. The high school boys dreaded wrestling him. He was a beast on the mat and was UFC champ for awhile but really didn't like getting punched in the face.
