I don't think the term MMA was used back then.
Great topic...thank you for the education. I hope we have some other fans here.

Man were those the days in K-1, I wish I was around to watch them, but now the heavyweight division is getting stale, but the K-1 max for lighter guys is real exciting.
That is cool you were there when all of these events went on.
Hopefully the MMA scen in Japan gets better
