At UFC 27 the UFC moved to a glove that was specifically designed for mma
John Peretti was the designer, do you remember the name of it?

Hector Sandoval is listed as the shortest male to have ever fought for the UFC, but there was also an old school guy with the exact same height

Ooh this is a tricky one. Joe Son looks 5’2 but I think he’s officially billed taller. I went back to check the broadcast to see and it says 5’4.
Also I had forgotten about the shot of him in a suit doing a bible study with a shirtless Kimo being the video they used for his promo package
Nakai comes to mind but he never fought in the UFC.

I think that the pre fight videos of Joe Son and Kimo are incredibly underrated

Rewatched it this morning:

It’s crazy that the UFC ignored its history
Liek when they tried to pretend that Laur Sanko was the first female commentator
