Financially and functionally, the mixed martial arts scene of the 1990s had the organization of an upended wastebasket. There are moments valued with nostalgia -- if you need a remedial course on Royce Gracie’s influence or the proliferation of opposing styles, grab a book -- but on the whole, it was just one big experimental phase, with everyone searching for the sense in a superficially disgusting sport. To stage a show without being chased out of town or arrested was considered an achievement. This is not an environment that thrives on survival, not invention........

The 10 stories that mattered most:

10. The New Year’s Eve Wars in Japan (2001-Present)

9. Gina Carano (2007-Present)

8. The Death of Evan Tanner (2008)

7. Lee Murray (2002-Present)

6. The Irony of ‘Rampage’ (2008)

5. The Death of Sam Vasquez (2007)

4. Mark Kerr (2001)

3. Bob Sapp (2002-2009)

2. The Death of Pride (2007)

1. Nevada (2001)


See the article for details on each story.

Do you agree with the list? Think of any others that should be in there?

Well, I think some things are missing on that list. What about the tv show The Ultimate Fighter? I think it should be up there on no 1 or 2

Yeah The Ultimate Fighter should be on the list for sure. Dana has said that "The Ultimate Fighter" was a last attempt to get the UFC going.
