This article is hilarious just for this fight write up:
Harold Howard vs Royce Gracie UFC 3
"In his first UFC fight, he kept his skills secret by winning via caveman seizure. In his next fight, he was set to face Royce Gracie, a jiu-jitsu fighter one tenth his size who everyone knows dominated the first 2 UFC tournaments. Harold was ready for him. He claimed to be the 1984 Canadian jiu-jitsu champion as if that’s a thing and honestly thought this would be two grand masters testing their skills against each other. Harold Howard even had a system that promised to bring the “karate aspect back to jiu-jitsu” which means so much less than nothing that several of those words took injuries during the sentence. This big goofy idiot was doomed. It was like a giant foot coming for his ass and Harold was the only one who didn’t see it.
The time finally came to fight Royce. We huddled around the VCR as if Harold Howard was a sleeping camper and Royce was about to put his hand in warm water. This clueless bastard is going to piss himself! Then, just as the fight started, Royce’s corner threw in the towel. He was too injured from his previous fight to go on and that meant that Harold Howard, a man living in the center of a sex offender Halloween costume, was going to the UFC finals. To call this a victory is like calling a lobster attack a handjob– inaccurate and demeaning to everything involved.
In the tournament finals, Harold missed with a somersault kick that was so awesome it unfortunately depleted his entire doughy body’s supply of karate. He lost and soon faded into obscurity. Then one day he wandered into a newspaper office covered in blood and told them he was injected with a substance that was slowly hardening inside him. While that might explain the way he fights or why he would sit still for that haircut, it’s still batshit crazy and they kicked him out. He left muttering, “On to Plan B.” Plan B turned out to be doing too many pills, attacking his sister and nephew with a hammer, and then driving his truck into a casino. Which leads me to my point: Harold Howard has forgotten more about not giving a fuck than you and I will ever know."

When I want to watch poor MMA, I watch the M-1 Challenger Series on TV. Sometimes you get a really good bout though.

The first part of the Harold Howard write up is the best
Harold Howard was a walking police sketch. He was a crazy-eyed hillbilly with a mullet and his idea of fitness seemed to be funnel-filtered light beer. Now keep in mind that back at UFC 3, we still thought that a black belt in tae kwon do made you a badass. We were all sure that any day, some 90-year-old Shaolin monk would hear about this “U.F.C.” and show up to magically fireball everyone to death. But even in our naivety, we took one look at Harold Howard and knew that this is a man who takes karate with 3rd graders; a man with a 0-and-35 record against local law enforcement and 7 no-contests against his wife.

The guy went after his sister and nephew with a hammer,broke into his ex-wife's home and crashed his car into a casino while being chased by the fuzz.All this got him less than five years in the pen.Ain't Canada wonderful?
