This is an insane project and will become a really, really cool way to examine the evolution of lighter weight classes in American MMA. But first you're going to have to get through so much bad loving heavyweight

This rules and the debut of Benji Radach is also a moment to talk about one of the best dumb things that happened in MMA. Back in 2003 Benji Radach got into a feud with a dude named Danny Lafever. Depending on who you ask, Lafever had either stolen his girlfriend or she had started dating Lafever after their breakup and Radach wasn't taking it well. Because MMA wasn't real and you could still do this kind of thing at the time, Benji, who at the time was 15-1, a three-time UFC veteran and considered one of the top prospects in the world, demanded Lafever, an amateur boxer with no professional fights of any kind, fight him at ULTIMATE RING CHALLENGE 6 at the COWLITZ COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS. The fight lasted fifty-five seconds. https://twitter.com/Grabaka_Hitman/status/1275191252829569030 It was one of the most widely-circulated fight clips on the early MMA internet and (supposedly) Radach paid a firm to get it taken down wherever possible and it only resurfaced a couple years ago. Radach also publicly agitated for a rematch for years and at one point put up $10,000 of his own money to do it, to which Lafever replied that he was just fine being a retired electrician.
