What were you thinking with that music, guys? Ughhhh… it was like doing heroin and slowly bleeding out in a luke warm bathtub.

It’s like beating the fuck out of someone to the song Yellow by Coldplay.

Know how I know YOU’RE gay? You like Coldplay.

The intro credits really needed to be one minute long?

Aside from that, great footage.

Nice!!! I’m all pumped!

@imabigfan

its goddamn amazing. woo!

awesome vid. really fun, save the coldplay. sorry to hate (not really) but you also play some arcade fire and other whatnot that illustrates you can actually hear. which is nice.

@Savage Henry- agreed. Even more fun in five/ten years. Oh the car dealerships that could benefit from the personal appearances. It would make Ashley Schaeffer BMW proud.

Nice work!

Very cool. Would also be cool to see an “After they were stars” video, with Tim Sylvia writing people tickets, Tito getting arrested for hitting a pornstar the wrong way, Ken Shamrock fighting Ross Clifton, Chuck Lidell in his new position as official Zuffa mascot, and Kimo’s various meth-fueled hijinx.

I’m guessing the video quality is bad so they could make the old videos shot on a shaky cell phone cam in brazil in 2001 look similar to the one of Jon Jones’ first fight in 2008. Uniformity bro, google it.

Love how the Jose Aldo head kick was timed to the music. Nicely done video editor.

Why is the video quality so bad? It’s not artistic it’s just crappy. Other than that the video was great.

Good stuff. You need to make it about 2 hours long and include more of these guys’ fights. I’m expecting big things out of this Georges St. Pierre guy.

Try the RSS Feed button. Takes you directly to the story you want, past the jump and all. I don’t recall the last time I was on the CP home page.

Never mind. He posted on twitter he was booted.

Great stuff. Has anyone heard if Karma was kicked out of tryouts or not?

Overeem reminds me of Kid from Kid n’play with that eraser head of his.

Hey CP writers. Please don’t have a “Read More” jump if the rest of the post is just tags.

I know you guys make money off people getting that extra click but it’s a real pain in the ass and plain bad practice as a website.

It was a good production, is it complete or will you expand it? Maybe in before they were stars volume 10, you can show Karma’s first fight. I agree with rogerw, I need to find some early Vand fights to watch.

Where are the video’s of Bisping practicing spitting on the play ground and throwing illegal knees to down 1st graders.

Nice shit CP

The Wanderlei video is fucking amazing, I’ve got to watch some of his older fights some time.

It might sound like an exaggeration, but I genuinely believe that Fightville, I mean, “Before they were stars,”may be one of the best things to happen to the sport in the last couple of years.

That music gives me the creeps. It sounds like the promo song from the live action ‘Where the Wild Things Are’.

Shit yall know what i mean.

This shit is dope. It kind of feels incomplete without the spider and the emperor not included.

I like it! Overeem is a damn child in his debut for sure. Jones was born the beat ass.

Some very cool footage in there…nice work

i just love to see alistair overeem in old footage.
mmmmm…… horsemeat. my ass.
