UFC 4 Recap

UFC 4

Ooh, spiffy graphics!

Here. We. Go!

Ron Van Clief vs. Royce Gracie

Weak fight. Basically an old guy in Rocky IV shorts gets taken down and choked out. Go America!

Joe Son vs. Keith Hackney

Hackney groin-punches his way to a throat-poke-choke-out. Dirty fucker.

Melton Bowen vs. Steve Jennum

Bowen had no ground game. Gassed himself by trying to GnP while mounted(!). Lots of punches to the back of the head, a little fence holding. Armbar win by Jennum. Nothing special.

Anthony Macias vs. Dan Severn

Severn suplexed the shit out of Macias before taking his back and choking him out.

Keith Hackney vs. Royce Gracie

Hackney started out doing his doggy-paddle arm waving, got pushed up against the fence, delayed the takedown but eventually went down. Gracie worked an armbar from the guard to win.

Dan Severn vs. Marcus Bossett

Severn took a kick before taking Bossett to the ground, mounting him, then getting the choke out.

Dan Severn vs. Royce Gracie

Gracie came to the ring sporting a mouse. Severn took him down and held him there for 8 solid minutes before throwing punches. Lots of uninteresting stuff until Gracie got a triangle choke 8 minutes later.

Notable was how moments before the choke, the commentators (Jeff Blatnick in particular) insisted when Gracie was struggling to get the leg around Severn's neck, it wasn't that dangerous, “there's nothing there, Severn's in great position, there's no real power in those legs to be able to choke him.”

LOL.
