Lance MigliaccioHOST
I was doing it, of course, before UFC and MMA.
Lance MigliaccioHOST

I knew the Gracies.
Lance MigliaccioHOST

Sam HoyosGUEST
Man, from UFC 1 until now, I watched the shit out of that shit.
Michael ClarkHOST
Same, same.
Michael ClarkHOST
Honestly, that was a large core of my show for a long period of time.
Mitch AguiarGUEST
with jiu-jitsu.
Mitch AguiarGUEST
When jiu-jitsu came onto the scene and hoist UFC 1, everyone was like, whoa, okay, we need to learn this.
Mitch AguiarGUEST
