A disappointing sting in the UFC followed but Cro Cop then found new life with a late career resurgence that saw him claim a K-1 world title and win the RIZIN Openweight Grand Prix in 2016 before hanging up the gloves for good in 2019 following a stroke.

DAMN! They Were Good celebrates the careers of the most exciting and influential fighters in MMA history. This episode covers Mark Hunt, The King of the Walkoff KO and a criminally underrated action fighter. Moving to MMA in 2004 after a short but accomplished career in kickboxing, the "Super Samoan" had immediate success in Pride, beating Wanderlei Silva and Mirko Cro Cop to establish himself as a serious threat. Then came a down period though as Hunt lost six in a row, including a UFC debut that the company begrudgingly gave him after he refused a buyout on his contract. What followed was one of the greatest second acts in MMA history as Hunt established himself as one of the best in the world and became a bona fide star, before an ugly late career period marred by a prolonged legal battle with the UFC ultimately left Hunt with less of a reputation that he deserves. What were the most iconic performances and what were our favorite memories from Hunt's career? Listen in as the MMA Fighting crews remembers remembers the man who gave MMA the Atomic Butt Drop.

DAMN! They Were Good celebrates the careers of the most exciting and influential fighters in MMA history and on this episode it celebrates the career of Wanderlei Silva, the most intimidating fighter to ever compete in MMA. 22 years ago this Friday, Wanderlei Silva made history, becoming the inaugural Pride Middleweight Champion after beating Kazushi Sakuraba for the second time at Pride 17. That win cemented "The Ax Murderer" as not just one of the best fighters in the world, but one of the scariest, and for the next four years, the MMA world would see him do nothing but reinforce that image. Whether he was annihilating cans or kneeing Quinton Jackson through the ropes, for half a decade, Wanderlei was appointment viewing, and his willingness to test himself against anyone, including guys like Mirko Cro Cop and Mark Hunt, solidified him as an all time fan favorite. What were the most iconic performances, what were our favorite memories, and what did we miss out on over Silva's 23 year run? Listen in as the MMA Fighting crews remembers the career of the original King of Violence. Follow Guilherme Cruz: @guicruzzz Follow Alexander K.

Welcome to the 6th Round Retro Post-Fight ShowThis is the show that digs into the archives and gives you a comprehensive review of classic MMA events that span as far back as UFC 1, PRIDE, K-1, and now DREAM!This episode: DREAM 1Join Eddie Mercado & Victor Rodriguez as they delve into the world of the DREAM (a popular MMA Promotion) based out of Japan. We conducted a retroactive post-fight show for the inaugural ‘DREAM 1: Lightweight Grand Prix 2008 1st Round' event this week, straight out of the archives of yesteryear. So let's take a trip back to Sat, Mar 15, 2008.The guys will explore the inaugural MMA Promotions event, which featured the first seven tournament bouts, fought at 154 lbs (70 kg), along with a trio of open-weight fights – complete with results, analysis, and of course a few laughs. The event was broadcast LIVE across Japan on the TBS Television network, from the Saitama Super Arena, in Saitama, Japan. The event remarkably attracted a sellout crowd for its debut, with 19,120 viewers.For those of you not in the know, the ‘DREAM Grand Prix Tournament Series' required all bouts be fought under their own ‘DREAM Mixed Martial Arts Rules', which amounted to a ten-minute first round and a five-minute second round, with the fights judged overall.Bloody Elbow Podcasts are now 100% listener-financed broadcasts. To receive new shows and support our Podcast Team, consider becoming a paid subscriber today.The evening's main event showcased the 2007 ‘HERO's Middleweight Champion', J. Z. Calvancanti of Brazil throwing down with Japan's own judoka, Shinya Aoki. “Hero's” was another Japanese MMA Promotion at the time, affiliated with K-1. HERO's was discontinued in order to create the new DREAM franchise in collaboration with former PRIDE FC executives. And if you aren't familiar with PRIDE - well, I don't know what to tell you… you had best go down a google-search-rabbit-hole this weekend and learn about one of the most innovative and legendary promotions in the history of the sport.Anyway, we had the exciting, fun, new, promising DREAM MMA Promotion debuting a tournament series with a card featuring a total of ten bouts; with half of them ending in finishes! Take away the four decisions and we got three knockouts and two submissions… then throw in one no contest thanks to an injury via illegal elbows (which btw, spoiler alert, happened to be the result of the main event) and you had one helluva event.Watch with usIf you would like to watch the bouts, Victor says he found the event on YouTube in its entirety. I had no such luck, but was able to locate most of the individual bouts and some highlight reels, they are all linked into this post. As of the time of this writing, a message has gone out to Victor to try to obtain this elusive link; if located, the post will be updated with it as soon as possible. If a bout was split into two clips, I have them one after the other in the timestamp segment of the post.Join us to rediscover all the action and discuss as we go along! Let's check it out!TIMESTAMPS:0:00 INTRO to the show / Segue into the event…8:50 Opener: Ikusha ‘Minowa-Man' Minowa (40-27-8) vs. the debuting Korean Baseball Pitcher, Lee Kwan Bum (0-1), who never fought again after the one minute and 25 second bout, ending in a killer kneebar.12:25 Bout 2: Hayato Sakurai (32-7-2) vs. Hidetaka Monma (14-8-3), knocked out (punches) in 4:12 of Round 16:55 Bout 3: Joachim Hansen (17-6-1) defeated Kotetsu Boku (5-7) via UD in the first tourney match on the card20:18 Bout 4: Luiz Firmino (12-3) submits Kazuyuki Miyata (5-7) vía Rear Naked Choke at 7:37 of Round 128:00 Bout 5: Katsuhiko Nagata (4-2) wins via UD over Artur Umakhanov (9-4)30:16 Bout 6: Mitsuhiro Ishida (16-3-1) wins via UD over Bu Kyung Jung (0-2)32:38 Bout 7: Mirko ‘Cro Cop' Filipović (23-6-2) knocks out (punches) Tatsuya Mizuno (3-3) in a mere 56 seconds35:26 Bout 8: Eddie Alvarez (13-1) knocks out (punches) Andre Amade (6-2-1) at 6:47 of the first round40:00 Bout 9 Co-Main Event: Tatsuya Kawajiri wins via UD over Kultar Gill (7-7)42:02 Bout 10 Main Event: Shinya Aoki (14-2) fights to a no contest ending with Gesias Cavalcante (14-1-1) injured by illegal elbows only three minutes and 46 seconds into the first round49:36 Event Recap51:50 Wrap Up52:17 OUTROThank you for listening to this Bloody Elbow Podcast Production. This post is public so feel free to share it.Have you loved this show? We always have. Sadly, this is the final round for the RETRO…Due to our Podcast Network now being 100% listener-financed, we have been forced to make some changes to our Broadcast Schedule recently. We crunched the numbers, looked at the ratings, listened to feedback and just had no choice but to let some shows go, at least for now. In addition to letting some shows go, we also made the decision to cease production of “non-UFC-event week podcast content”…. the RETRO falls into that category, and we are all sad to see it retired. We would like to sincerely thank you all for listening to Vic and Eddie here on the Bloody Elbow Podcast Network over the years, though.

“Your Conscious Mind is So much stronger than the Subconscious, if you allow your Conscious Mind to take control of what is happening.”—Ray Sefo My guest this episode is the one and only Ray Sefo, he has fought in 110 Professional Fights, achieving 54 Knock Outs and 6 World Titles.  He has competed in 4 Combat Sports (Boxing, Muay Thai, Kick Boxing, and MMA).  Mr. Sefo is the President of Fighter Operations for PFL, the Professional Fighters League and is a true martial arts renaissance man.This episode is filled with golden nuggets.  We cover the lost art of vision, timing and setting up your opponents.  We talk about Ray's transition from traditional arts like Wing Chun to Sport Combat arts like Boxing and Muay Thai.  My key takeaway is that “Mental Toughness is the courage to step forward and face your fears.”  We dive deep into understanding the inner workings of the Conscious mind and how it must be trained to take control of what is happening around you.  Ray describes that “The biggest battle is always fighting yourself.”  We also discuss his amazing fighting career, his is epic battles with Mirko Cro Cop, Ernesto Hoost, Jerome Le Banner, and the birth of the PFL.  This is an insightful episode filled with great wisdom from a true humble warrior of the arts.

Kris & David are guestless as we discuss the week that was August 17-23, 2001.We start the show with the WWF, where we talk about their problems with DirecTV (which lasted several months) before pivoting into SummerSlam 2001, where we talk about the good and the bad from the second PPV show of the WCW/ECW invasion. We then go to Raw & Smackdown, including "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Appreciation Night and Kurt Angle's reaction to it, plus so much more.Then we go to Japan, where we talk about Kazuyuki Fujita getting a hatchet wound cut into his forehead by a Mirko Cro Cop knee at K-1's Andy Hug Memorial Show and how that changed both of their careers as well as New Japan in general, along with the tragic stroke suffered by Brian Johnston at that show. We also go over all the other news in Japan before going to Mexico, where we talk about a very solid scene at that time where everyone was doing well.Then we come back to the U.S., where we talk about the Spanish Announce Team getting fired from CZW for interesting reasons, Steve Corino being the NWA Champion and getting mysteriously buried in the Observer again, Stacy Carter divorcing Jerry Lawler, a loaded California indie scene, and lots more.2001 is always fun to talk about, and we had a blast doing this show, so we hope that you have the same experience as you listen!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF2:10:33 Classic Commercial Break2:15:16 Halftime2:30:18 Asia-Pacific: K-1, DEEP, AJPW, BattlARTS, BJPW, Michinoku Pro, Osaka Pro, Atsushi Onita, Seikendo, Toryumon, AJPW, Arsion, GAEA, Jd', JWP, NEO Ladies, & Vince Russo's secret Australian tour3:40:03 Latin America: AAA, CMLL, IWRG, Monterrey, Tijuana, & IWAPR3:56:01 Other USA: MECW, NWANJ, SAT drama, CZW, JAPW, NWA Wildside, Sid sues AOL, Howard Brody, Pillman Memorial shows, IWAMS, Prentice's USA, Memphis, Stacy Carter, Steel Domain, Rev Pro, UPW, APW, WOW Magazine, USA Network, & UrbanWA5:06:29 Patreon Preview: Cheryl Vasquez's Titangate-inspired protest outside a WWF house show in PoughkeepsieTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

Rising from being a track athlete, boxer and member of the Croatian army, this fan of “Bloodsport” and JCVD emerged as one of the world's best kickboxers and mixed martial artists of his time. An amazing athlete who established himself largely after his prime but during the rise of MMA, Cro Cop was a fan and sport favorite for the better part of two decades.
