Gary Goodrich is the person you're talking about. IIRC it was one of the early UFC events. I believe the guy he fought may have had a wrestling background and also trained with Tank.

big coloured guy, :vu: didn't that word go out in the late 60's,wow!!!:BSmeter:

Wasn't that the Pat Smith/Scott Morris fight at UFC 2? Or was it UFC 1? By the way, by the spelling you used for the word "coloured" I'll assume you're British? Using the word "colored" to describe an african american here in the States is considered rather offensive, you may want to say "black" or "african american" instead.

No, that was a different fight. The one you're talking about was in fact UFC2. Smith was actually mounted on Morris, and elbowed him repeatedly while Morris hung on.

original poster may not be an American...

The fight that came to my mind first was Remco Pardoe vs. Orlando Weit in UFC2. here is a link to that fight.

Others have mentioned Gary Goodrich, and he fought a guy named Augustos Santos in IV1 (1997) and won that by crucifix. Here is a clip for that fight in which you can see what the crucifix is, it is a submission hold requiring both arms to hold your opponent and restrict the breathing and put stress on the neck.

The crucifix with the elbows until the fight was stopped was Gary Goodridge (258lbs) vs Paul Herrera (185lbs) in UFC 8.

Herrera shot in for a low single, then tried to switch to a firemans carry, only to get tied up in a crucifix hold, then brutalized by 8 elbow strikes, and end up with a broken jaw. The official fight time was 13 seconds I beleive

is the fight itself.

Only Americans spell it colored, the rest of the world spells it coloured so why does the poster have to be British? Could be an Anzac, European,Asian etc. Just a point.

 

[matsu]

yeah fanx guys . i will check out those linx
the gary goodrich sounds right!


yep i am ENGLISH not british. and coloured is how its spelt correctly ie in english .

i am sorry if i offended any of our afro american/black buds.i thought about it as typed it but to be honest i havent a clue what is and aint politically correct any more.

Good clips So strange to see them in gi's and w/out gloves... I often remember some of those fights. Don't see the Crucifix all that often...

 

[matsu]

"Don't see the Crucifix all that often... "

why is that? was it that he was so much bigger and able to do or jsut one of those great forgotten techniques?

He kept fighting after that, mostly in Pride, I think...my favorite fight of his was when Gilbert Yvel (black dutch mma fighter) knocked him out cold in about 7 seconds with a high kick to the head...had that real loud THUD sound...awesome. I'm not sure if he's still fighting.

Here's the link to that one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnDUiAxYP8s&feature=related

Sorry about the spelling remark, we Americans tend to think everything should be the way we do it...(BTW I was right though, he is Brit, ah, Eng, ah from that big island anyway...)
