Calling it gravy is an Italian American thing, specifically more so on the east coast it seems. IAs here, in Canada, and even on the west coast don't seem to use it as much. My oldest relatives (from central east Italy) would always refer to it as sugo. I've never heard them use this same term for actual gravy like on thanksgiving. I suspect some of the IAs with roots in Southern Italy might've translated it more to gravy rather than sauce when they settled on the east coast. Similarly, a lot of you east coasters also use the term pie when referring to a pizza. I made a photoshop a while back with a jar of pizza sauce renamed to pie gravy.

So maybe it’s a Brooklyn thing. But all the grandparents, who call it gravy, were straight off the boat. Trust me, I scoff when they say it as well.

Weight classes were more like suggestions, and the fighters were all juiced up and paid for with yakuza money, but it made for super entertaining fights. And the roster of dudes was unmatched, Fedor, Crocop, Sakuraba, Wanderlei Silva, Anderson Silva, Shogun, both Noguieras, Rampage, Igor, Coleman, Fry, Shamrock, Hendo, etc. The absolute pinnacle of MMA as far as I'm concerned. The Russian guy in that video is Fedor's brother Alexander. He's a 3 time world Sambo champion and if you know anything about the Russian mob, you can tell by his tattoos that he's affiliated, done prison time and is suspected of being a hit man.

I know, Crocop destroyed him when they fought.

March 22, 20233 yr I never watched Pride - I know a bunch of those dudes from when they moved over to the UFC, but by then a lot of them were shells of their former selves.

My earliest MMA memory was UFC 1 (I think), when that French dude came out of retirement and kicked that cocky sumo wrestlers teeth out of his mouth. Nowadays I enjoy watching MMA, but I don't really follow it at all.

One of my instructors is a current UFC fighter, so that is cool
