But I got there at literally the perfect time, because it was right before Vitor was making his UFC debut, which was UFC 12, which I commentated at.

So I was literally training at the same school as Vitor, so I knew what to expect.

I'm like, these guys don't know what the fuck this guy's doing.

Because everybody thought he was just a jiu-jitsu guy.

And meanwhile, he had lightning hands.

And it was a slimmer Vito.

He was only like 200 pounds back then.

Just moved like a fucking panther.

And I got to see this sport just sort of emerging.

Where really it was becoming something completely different.

Like at first it was just a bunch of people that didn't know anything.

And, you know, there was or they didn't know anything about mixed martial arts.

They either know judo or they know karate.

And then there was hoists and hoists just tapping everybody.

And everybody's like, oh, my God, jujitsu is the way.

And then when I went to Carlson's, I was like, jujitsu is kind of the way.

But look at this guy.

Like you got to take that guy to the ground.

And that guy's hands are like a fucking professional boxers.

This is crazy.
