EZ! IWF Contenders

Post by T200 »

Here is this online, not great quality. My DVD is missing but I have a nice VHS somewhere in the archives. Almost certainly better quality videos if you sought out the individual matches.

John Peretti put this 1997 PPV together, Dan Gable on the mic and the commentary is fucking great.

Matches (not in order):

Kenny Monday v Matt Hume
Frank Shamrock v Dan Henderson
Andre Pederneiras v Townsend Saunders
Mike Van Arsdale v Charuto
Tsuyoshi Kohsaka v Tom Erikson
Carlos Newton v Chris Barnes
Joao Roque v Dennis Hall

The best is the International Vale-Tudo Championship, which was a Brazilian promotion. Had guys like Macaco, Pele, and is where Wandy got his start. The matches have it all, including headbutts and kicking downed opponents. Shit is REEAAAL.

I have all of them on XVID format somewhere. All the superbrawls too.

There are like 16 of them. Each event was its own tape. I have them all and they are epic.
