    So I watched the Rickson Gracie doc "Choke"...

    ...it was pretty good and well worth a watch if you're even remotely interested in the early years of MMA/NHB.

    ~ Rickson was definitely ahead of his time. I really liked his mindset to fighting.

    ~ Todd Hays knew he didn't want a piece of Rickson, "hurt" shoulder or not. He wasn't really in it to be a fighter, but I can't help but wonder how he would have turned out if he stuck to fighting. He had a pretty good skillset. His coach was ridiculous.

    ~ I had no idea that Sgt. Craig Pittman did MMA.

    ~ Gerard Gordeau was such a piece of shit.

    ~ Yuki Nakai was the most impressive bit to come out of the entire story. Absolute legend. A shame they didn't pick him to follow around.

    ~ It's was a bit funny to see the Gracies' discuss Nakai's butterfly guard.

    ~ The Kimura guy was a huge disappointment. They had him built up as this stud.

    Now I'm off to watch The Smashing Machine.

      Sgt Craig Pittman still does low level MMA, at like 48 years old.

      He always had a rep as one tough m'fer.
