Looks like Babalu all the way to the left and I don't know who the second from the left is. Did you notice Wanderlei all the way on the right with the beard?2013: +8.24u(increased unit size on 5/19)

Yes, I did. It was everything I hoped it would be!
Highlights:
Apparently Dave Levicki was associated with that infamous "Seal Team 6".
I was a little surprised to see Gordeau in the corner of Frank Hamacker, since I saw him with Remco later. I guess all those Dutch guys stuck together. Wonder what would have happened if they had to fight.
I'd really wanted to see Pardoel fight that Spanish Pencak Silat guy. It was funny to see the announcers say "Now watch how close to the ground he fights." thinking he would imitate the Silat forms he showed them earlier -- but nope, he didn't. Also, one of the only active moments in the fight appeared to be missed by the cameras, as Leon stood up and got thrown back down, but the cameras were inexplicably filming someone's corner at that point. Finally, it seems Sherdog (and Wiki) have the fight outcome wrong, as they say Pardoel won by "armlock". He did go for some (and I recall Remco saying Leon's arms were hurt afterwards) but at the end of the fight, Leon is clearly tapping to a collar choke.
The commentators on "Sambo": "Sambo is the Soviet style they teach privately to the army... They teach a lot of dismembering -- things of that nature."
It was interesting to see Scott Morris getting a quick choke, and Pat Smith win with exactly the same standing guillotine he used later in the night on Rhodes.Comment

You see, I was like fuck that. I knew exactly what was going to happen. Not only was I sure that the silat guy had little grappling ability, but Remco was also a lot bigger. I would've much rather seen the Silat dude paired up with one of the karate or kung fu guys. I think that would've been a lot more entertaining.
I actually thought that the best (most entertaining) fights were the Wiet/Lucarelli (brutal) and DeLucia vs the wing chun guy.
I was actually wondering if what they said was true about Sambo not being taught to the public. I've never heard anything like that. Obviously that is not the case now if it ever was.
Yeah, Pat Smith was definitely one of the more legit fighters in the early days, and if Morris hadn't gone retarded in his 2nd fight then he may have ended up showing some decent skills as well.I heart cockComment

I was curious to see the Wiet fight to see why people were so confident in him vs. Remco. I'm not sure I'm getting it, as Lucarelli even had him in some trouble. To Wiet's credit though, he was fighting much bigger guys.Comment

From what I understand Sambo was in fact created as an elite special forces combat system. In the beginning it wasn't taught to the general public. It was originally a battlefield concept and many of it's core philosophies reflect that. An old Sambo saying translates to something like "break one leg and remove three men" because it takes two guys to carry the dude with the broken leg off the battlefield.2013: +8.24u(increased unit size on 5/19)
