I might have recency bias because you just mentioned the infamous UFC 33 but I feel like it was that debacle. I remember that factoid bundled in with all the various ways 33 was weird, like the ppv going over.

I have a trivia question as well.

When Bas Rutten started fighting in Pancrase, he would walk out with an “R” written in permanent marker on his hand. What did it mean, and why did he do it?

I can’t remember the Dutch translation exactly but it’s rest / relax, which happen to also start with R’s in Dutch
