...at the McNicol Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado. I remember the elevation having some effect on the fighters. The first one I watched live on PPV was UFC 3, the one when alternate Steve Jennum won. I saw UFC 1 much later on, and it looked like every fight was a squash match. 20 years...wow, it doesn't seem like 20 years.
i remember watching royce gracie fight and had no clue what bjj was. i hated that style. ken shamrock and oleg taktarov were most fun to watch. taktarov vs. tank abott was a great fight for what it was back then.
