Great fighter. Brawler. Got to like 86-0 before eventually ending his career 107-6-1.

How good was this guy! 159-0 in NCAA wrestling and went on to also win a gold medal at the Olympics.

Sports Illustrated named his college career as the second most impressive college sports feat behind the setting of four world records by Jesse Owens in a single hour at the 1935 Big Ten track and field conference championship meet.

I used to buy UFC VHS tapes when they released back in the day. The early years were the best, when there were few/no rules and no hybrid styles.

It was interesting watching a newcomer defeat all before him, and then succumb to a newcomer who'd defeat all before him, who in turn then succumbs to a newcomer, etc. But I think Don Frye was my favorite. Such a tough bastard.

Oh and Tank Abbott was probably #2 favorite. Beast.

Indian business mogul Gautam Adani has become the second-richest person in the world with an estimated $146.8 billion fortune, moving Amazon founder Jeff Bezos down to No. 3, according to Bloomberg's Billionaire Index.

Adani is the first person from Asia to rank in the top three of the index, Bloomberg reported, when the billionaire came into third place last month. Elon Musk remains the No. 1 richest person in the world with an estimated $263.9 billion.

The founder and chairman of the Adani Group industrial conglomerate in India has seen significant and rapid growth in his wealth this year, surpassing fellow Indian businessman Mukesh Ambani, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet on the index. The business mogul began 2022 in the 14th spot on the ranking, taking just months to reach the No.2 spot, Bloomberg reported.

Adani added $60.9 billion to his fortune this year alone, while others on the list have lost money, Bloomberg found. In July, Bill Gates — currently No. 5 on the list — pledged $20 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Associated Press reported. Warren Buffett — No. 6 on the list — has already donated more than $30 billion to the Gates Foundation, according to the AP.

Jeff Bezos' fortune dropped on Tuesday — making room for Adani to pass him on the billionaire's index — when Amazon stock dropped due to new inflation data.

Adani, a college dropout, built his wealth in the coal industry and now owns seven publicly owned businesses under the Adani Group in industries like energy, mining, airports and defense. The mogul has faced criticism from environmentalists over mining operations, but pledged $70 billion last year to green energy, which would make the Adani Group the world's largest renewable-energy producer, according to Bloomberg.

It's an ok copy, but pointless given the original is great.

I love covers that try to reinvent the song with a different style, vocal arrangement, instruments, etc.

I completely get what youre saying, I meant insanely good from how close it was to the original. It sounds studio quality performed live. In other words, I dont think Peter Gabriel could sound as close as he did to the original version live as this is.

I've always said this is the greatest Australian album ever released by any Australian band. Indeed, I even have it right up there among the greatest albums of all-time....
