00:00I'm Mark Kerr. I'm Ryan Bader. And I'm Bas Rudzin. My name is Alexander Lusik.
00:05We're here today to answer the most Google questions about the USC.
00:16When was the UFC founded?
00:19November 1993 because I started fighting in September 1993 in Japan and Ken Shamrock was in my dressing room and he was talking about the UFC.
00:26Listen, listen, listen. This guy know what's going on because I just fed.
00:34How does the UFC give nicknames to fighters?
00:38You can pick your own or have people, whatever you want.
00:41Yeah, a lot of it is like my name is given to me by a Brazilian reporter who watched the fights and he named it in Portuguese, Makina de Bader, the machine that smashes.
00:52And BaderâŠ
00:53I have Darth because Bader, you know, I like Bader and my alternative was Master and Master Bader was not.
01:02The cat?
01:03Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because when I was young, I played football, you know, I stayed the hallkeeper.
01:08Like my man, but I like it.
01:13Oh, it's like a cat.
01:15Okay, okay.
01:16I like it.
01:17Second, my name, you know, mustache.

01:23Usy.
01:24Oh, okay.
01:25Yeah.
01:26Okay.
01:27Okay.
01:28I see that too.

01:31The cat like mustache.
01:33What is the octagon's official diameter?
01:3726?
01:38No.
01:3933, I believe.
01:4033 or 34.
01:4133?
01:42Depends where it is.
01:43I believe so, yeah.
01:44All right.
01:45Who won the very first UFC tournament in 1993?
01:47Oh, God.
01:48Hoist Gracie?
01:49Yeah, Hoist Gracie.
01:50Hoist Gracie.
01:51That's an easy episode.
01:52That's an easy episode.
01:53How does UFC determine pound for pound?
01:55Ooh.
01:56But that's you guys.
01:57Yeah, yeah.
01:58Yeah.
01:59I think it's like, it's a, it's a.
02:01I believe now it's media that they picked to do the rankings.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Oh, we're nailing these, man.
02:08This is knocking out a bark.
02:09So happy.
02:10How does UFC scoring work?
02:13Domination.
02:14Octagon control.
02:15Octagon control.
02:16Aggression.
02:17Aggression.
02:18Aggression.
02:19Effective striking.
02:20You're going to have a winner pretty much every round, correct?
02:23Yeah.
02:24That's a 10-9.
02:25Maybe you go in there and knock a guy down a couple of times.
02:27It'll be a 10-8.
02:28And at the totals after the three to five rounds, they add those up.
02:32They could be a 30-27 winner unanimous.
02:35Yeah.
02:36Split decision.
02:37Couple of different ways.
02:38Luke's have nothing to do with it.
02:40Do UFC fighters wear cups?
02:42I fuck yeah.
02:44Absolutely.
02:45It's very important.
02:46It's very important.
02:47You know when the referee walks over to you and then he taps with the back of his hand.
02:50The back of his hand.
02:51Not for fun.
02:52He taps on it.
02:53That's the cup check.
02:54So real quick, this is Gary Goodridge fighting down in Brazil.
02:56Oh my God, I know.
02:57He got his cup broken in half plastic cup.
02:59Yeah.
03:00And once I saw that, I'm like, oh, that's not good.
03:03And talking about cups, I just want to throw it out there.
03:06Gary Goodridge again.
03:07And he's in the fighting in Brazil.
03:09That's volatudo.
03:10No rules.
03:11Yeah.
03:12You know what he did?
03:13He went with his hand in the cup of the guy, squeezed his pelotas.
03:16Makes me wonderful.
03:17I'm not kidding.
03:18This happened.
03:19This is a hard one.
03:20Hard one.
03:21All right.
03:22What UFC fighter is a rock playing?

03:56Yeah.
03:57He's undefeated.
03:58He's the only undefeated guy.
03:59How did Mark Coleman beat to become the first UFC heavyweight champ?
04:03It was against Dan, wasn't it?
04:0610-7?
04:07Yeah.
04:08He would take him down, hold the hands down on the biceps, and just start freaking headbutting him.
04:12Yeah.
04:13Yeah.
04:14Something that he took notice of.
04:15Yeah.
04:16What year did the UFC introduce weight classes?
04:19Oof.
04:20Oh, I know.
04:21Okay.
04:22Oh, maybe because I was officially the first UFC heavyweight champion.
04:25That was it, 1998.
04:28Because I fought the tournament, and that's when it was going to be called middleweight and heavyweight.
04:32200 pounds.
04:33200 pounds.
04:34200 pounds and over.
04:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:36It was only two weight classes.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Why UFC fighters cut weight?
04:39Oof.
04:40My first 91 kilos, yeah?
04:43It's cruiserweight.
04:44Cruiserweight, yeah.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Why start cruiserweight?
04:48Because this weight, popular only in Europe.
04:52Not USA, all of that.
04:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:55But we speak, I guess, listen, we start cruiserweight.
05:01Five years we work.
05:04Yeah.
05:05But then, yeah.
05:06Yeah.
05:07But sometimes people love eating more.
05:12Yeah.
05:13Don't have discipline.
05:16Yeah.
05:17You know, eating, drink, coke, lemonade, yeah.
05:22Food, food, food, food.
05:24But stay weight.

05:41Oof.
05:42UFC fights?
05:43Is that about 42, 45 shows?
05:45Yeah.
05:46Yeah, at least.
05:47So you didn't last on me.
05:48Are you talking like UFC contender series?
05:51Yeah.
05:52I mean, it's a lot.
05:53Which city hosted UFC won?
05:55Denver.
05:56Denver, Colorado.
05:57That's why everybody was running out of gas like this.
06:00Yeah.
06:01They were 87,000 feet now.
06:03Yeah.
06:04It was hilarious.
06:05Oh gosh.
06:06Which martial arts did Hoist Gracie use?
06:09Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
06:10Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
06:11Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
06:12It was the first one.
06:13Yeah.
06:14The first one that stopped in the wrestlers game.
06:16How easy is it to get in the UFC?
06:18It's actually quite difficult now.
06:20It's quite difficult.
06:21Yeah.
06:22Like it's a longer, it's a longer journeyman's road to get there.
06:25If something mentally is wrong with you, you had a high chance to get there.
06:30Who holds a record for the fastest knockout in the UFC?
06:33It was Dwayne Lutwig before, but.
06:35I had a, I had a 19 second knockout.
06:38Yeah, but Dwayne at six.
06:40Uh, and it's actually a combination I gave him.
06:42You see me saying it to him when he, uh, I say, he comes straight at you.
06:45I want you to slip to the side, come with the cross.
06:47He says, Dwayne, I don't know why, but you got to do this.
06:49And the fight comes straight over.
06:51Puff out.
06:52That's about six seconds.
06:53Six seconds.
06:54But somebody beat it with four, I think.
06:56Which submission technique became popular in the 1990s due to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighters?
07:00Armbar.
07:01Armbar.
07:02Armbar, chokes, everything.
07:03Trying to choke.
07:04Mataleo.
07:05That's the real naked choke.
07:06Yeah.
07:07Anything.
07:08All right.
07:09Let's see.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Oh my God, man.
07:12I know this one.

07:16Vandley.
07:17Vandley.
07:18Silva.
07:19Steven Cuadros gave him that name.
07:20He did.
07:21The axe murderer.
07:22Yep.
07:23He looks like, like when he's in that mode.
07:24I swear, man.
07:25He looks like murder in general.
07:29What were the first UFC matches like?
07:33They're brutal.
07:34I mean, just there's no getting around it.
07:37It's...
07:38When you see Gerard Dordeaux, a friend of mine in Holland, fighting a sumo guy, 555 pounds.
07:45Yeah.
07:46Kicks him in the legs.
07:47Guy drops on the ground and then he kicks him in the face and his teeth are flying next
07:50to the commentators.
07:51Yeah.
07:52You go like, yeah, this is real.
07:54So what's even crazy, like I watched that and stuff and still got involved in it.
07:58All right.
07:59Is the smashing machine a true story?
08:01Boy.
08:02Gonna take that one more.

08:11Oh, this is a hard one.
08:12Who's the UFC goat?
08:13Oh, yeah.
08:14So that's the debatable part because it's...
08:17You got to go back in time also with Anderson Silva and all these guys.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Because they can find...
08:22No, GSP.
08:23GSP.
08:24Oh, for sure.
08:25GSP is probably one of the...
08:27Like if somebody looks at the history, I look at him like he's...
08:30He was the hybrid, preminent, like that's what you were trying to be.
08:35When Dwayne Ludwig knocked out Jan Spolvo, who was undefeated at the time, UFC champion.
08:40Yeah.
08:41Yeah.
08:42GSP was fighting on the same card.
08:43He had the...
08:44It was his fourth fight.
08:45And he was walking behind stage and I go, hey, what's your name again?
08:47I said, can I ask you something?
08:48And he came to me, I said, you're gonna be the next world champion.
08:51And he goes, you really think so?
08:53I said, no, I know so.
08:54You watch, you're gonna go very far.
08:55Yeah.
08:56And he says, can I ask you something?
08:57I said, sure.
08:58How is it that you're not afraid before a fight?
08:59I said, who says that?
09:00He says, well, but you can see.
09:01I said, no, everybody's afraid for a fight.
09:03I mean, you just have to deal with it.
09:05Yeah.
09:06Who's the best boxer in the UFC right now?
09:10Who's the best boxer in the world is...

10:05He didn't ask any money in the beginning.
10:06She says, why are you doing that?
10:07She said, why don't we go to the UFC?
10:08He says, UFC's don't have fighters.
10:10Female fighters.
10:11She said, they will change it once they see you.
