My opponent used handcuffs to viciously beat me down, capitalizing on my inability to defend myself.

The early days of the UFC, especially in the 1990s, were wild. It was less regulated, with fewer rules compared to today. Fighters from various martial arts backgrounds would compete in a tournament-style format, often with few weight classes.

Here is a little flashback to the NHB Era of the Ultimate Fighting Championships. The only two rules: 1) No biting. 2) No eye-gouging. That was it. No time limits. No rounds. Time started.......and the time would end when one man (women were not competing yet) was usually unconscious; whether that was by knockout, choke out. Your corner was able to throw the towel in for you if they thought that their athlete was in trouble. And the rinside doctor could stop a match. That was it. Oh.....I almost
