  1. Hi everyone. This is a reupload of the original video after the OG version was riddled with UFC copyright claims. The only good thing about this is I have at least been able to add a new section to the reupload concerning the fire at Mark Colemans house. You can find it at the end of the "A Hammer rises, a Hammer falls" chapter.

  4. Jesus! I've never seen someone do an anti-promo 'F*** NordVPN, I'll protect myself by pulling the curtains and placing a napkin over my head.' I was already a fan before, but now I think I'm in love

  5. Sad that it had to be reuploaded. Maybe when the UFC makes 5-10 Trillion per year they will stop forcing youtubers to redo videos that are ultimately just free advertisements.
    Ohhh and this gives me a reason to rewatch this!

  12. The clip of Coleman in the hospital with his daughters choked me up. I hope he recovers well. I'm so sad about Hammer but also so glad 3 people are alive right now thanks to the bravery and loyalty of both Hammers.

  24. I’m 21, and I’ve loved MMA and stuff since I was a little kid. I however feel like when I got into the sport I was witnessing something I didn’t understand.

    The first ever UFC event I watched was Silva vs Weidman 2, when I saw my dad and uncle’s favorite fighter get his leg snapped in half.

    Time went on and I saw a lot of great fights, but over the years and especially over the last few, things have changed for the worse. Like Tony Soprano said, I can’t help but feel like I came in at the end.

    Corpo bullshit and right wing politics has ruined mma, especially in America, and I just can’t bring myself to care anymore. I see fighters begging for table scraps and being exploited, honor and glory means nothing when rent is due or you need a medical procedure.

    That’s what I hate most, that Dana and those like him stole the joy I once found in this, and I’ll never forgive them for that

  27. This was excellent the first time, and the addition is absolutely heart-rending, Sir. Here's to one of the best (and most re-uploadingest) documentarians on this hellhole of a platform.

  31. Sooo excited for the lineal vids on the rest of the weight classes! Sucks that I was too busy working to attentively watch the 1st version, but the Mark Coleman addition was indeed nice.

    Cool that you spoke with Dan Severn too, never knew he had that much freaking fights!!

  34. Never thought Featherstone would get a mention on a blownapart video! Admittedly I'm talking about the village I'm from and not a random dude, but I'll take it 😂. Class as always

  35. Keep on uploading it. Dana steals your views but just know your fans will watch this version again. Your content is too good not to, I can’t catch everything in the first viewing

  37. I love the story about Tank vs Ferozzo. The fight itself wasn't much but oddly beautiful does sum it up. "Bobish looked like the boulder of Sisyphus had rolled down a hill of steroids that led straight into the octagon." You sir, are a writer Also, omg Maurice Smith in Miami Connection 😂 After seeing that film I said that it was a cinematic achievement. You might need to do a short piece on it to educate the masses on B Movie gold

  39. I used to read Seanbaby's articles all the time back when I was a kid and I thought it was just the funniest shit ever, and you're the first one since then to remind me of that same style and quality of writing. Love your content, man.

  40. So good I watched it twice, again. Also fuck the US health care system, it's so hard to watch a guy like Coleman have to beg for money to afford something that wouldn't be a problem in the rest of the western world. Talk about shameful.

  45. I can't keep watching this. I'm eleven minutes in and have aready encountered two 30 second unskippable ads back to back, followed a few minutes later by a one-minute unskippable ad.
