The Gracie family started UFC back in the day, with Royce being fed losers to kick the shtein out of.
They are the stars of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Royce won the first 3, maybe 4 UFC championships I think.  Wasn't it Ken Shamrock that finally beat him?

[Tomahawk]

Royce kicked the shtein out of some good fighters too. But kicked the shtein out of isn't really accurate...Royce rolled on the ground with them for a gazillion hours until he was able to get his opponent into a submission hold.

I thought he had a draw with Shamrock in #4

The first guy to really "beat" Royce was Kimo.  They fought to a tie, so they had an overtime.  As Royce lined Kimo up, he kicked (EDIT:  let's say hit;  I think it was a kick, but that was almost 20 years ago) him in the face.  Hard.
Royce had just enough sense to get Kimo in the guard when he charged in, and Kimo, having no ground skills, got locked up and tapped out.  But Royce was "too injured to continue", presumably a concussion.

That match was bad ass.  I really wish the had the first 5 ufc's on DVD.

Actually, the baddest thing I saw on those old UFCs (which really were human cockfighting, BTW) was the Kenpo dude v. the Sumo wrestler (UFC 2 I think).  This little dude gets in their with this 400 pound behemoth who has NO idea how to actually fight.  Kenpo punches him repeatedly, then does this diving punch to the side of Sumo's head which is so hard it simultaneously KOs Sumo (who crashes to the mat in movie like fashion) and shatters his wrist.  As I recall, you could see the hand flapping from the impact.  Obviously, Kenpo couldn't continue, but that was farging awesome.

Runner-up:  The american Ninja who also couldn't fight;  got his nose broke in like 6 seconds and passed out from the head trauma.  Awesome.

those old UFCs (which really were human cockfighting, BTW)

I watched the first 3 or 4 UFC's because of that exact element.  It was just this raw, poorly produced fight inside an abandoned warehouse or something and the guys fought for peanuts.  Definitely had an edgy, tough guy blood sport feel to it.  I don't watch any MMA today, mostly because it's too polished and pretty.  Really starting to resemble the WWF.

Swedish man attempting to split atoms in his kitchen. He's stopped the project and been sent to jail, but that's probably the best reason I've ever heard of for going to jail.

Before leaving, the robbers brought the man's girlfriend into the home and introduced her to his wife, according to investigators. The robbers then left them all together in the house and took off.

GF why would you be on a site like that?

When the Eagles win the Superbowl this year are you planning to nuke Croydon?

Hell, why wouldn't I read about someone playing mad scientist?

I like it. How to annex Norway from your kitchen with smoke detectors shows the kind of creative thinking so lacking in our world today. I for one would vote him into office.
