Good Stuff from Dave Meltzer

I don't know what it is, but something about the sport's early days in Brazil fascinates me.  Maybe it's the gritty, real nature of the thing, maybe it's that it resembles so closely underground fighting (as I know it), but yeah, it's cool.  Anyway, here's Dave Meltzer's latest, which is a trip down memory lane when Helio Gracie was fighting Waldemar Santana and Brazilian politicians wanted to ban everything.  http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_ylt=AlRlZRAvAs_HkWXArZJP7rI9Eo14?slug=dm-meltzer_ufc_brazil_vale_tudo_rio_081911
