The origin of "I wild each it" is from some random poster on the OG in a thread about women's Olympic beach volleyball of all things. The poster wrote "I wild each it lol that meets there naked" prompting a collective wtf and inquiries as to whether he'd just had a stroke. I remember it being one of those weird threads that would only be funny online and was truly hysterical. Pages later the guy shows up and explains he was either drunk or just quickly typing on his phone and the actual message was meant to be "I would watch it. That means they're naked!" This in reference to how scantily clad women's volleyball players are. So then a poster named Hocky Balboa went to a UFC and was captured on film during a fighter's walkout, possibly for the main event, wearing a UG tshirt with a huge sign that said the famois phrase. I think it may also have had a Werdum troll smile mask attached. It was one of the more meta moments in the UG's history.

So for that reason, our site is forever inextricably tied to the UG. Its culture is very different, but its co-founder's very name is steeped in UG lore. Thankfully he shortened it, which disassociates us somewhat.
Wild is always so outspoken about his hatred of the UG... and his name comes from UG culture?

yep, the post was by the forum member 'Charles Barkley', so Hocky had a giant Charles Barkley head next to the 'wild each it' sign.

It's good that Wild has shortened his name here, as it's gone from a seemingly non-sequitur reference to another forum to a frighteningly accurate descriptor of a truly untamed individual at the helm of this site.

Thank you for typing that. I knew the original phrase, but not as much of the followup as you do.

Second, I just noticed your membership number. Kneeblock not found.

Does that mean my UG account was deleted? That would be the best news I've heard all week!

Lol I was way off. I do remember those threads but there was another thread about Wanderlei’s rant.

Either it was when he had beef with Chael or when Wandy ran from USADA? But his rant was in Portugese and when someone google translated, it said something like “cock balls cock nuts”, something ridiculous but funny.

For some reason, those two different threads were combined into one in my head

Thanks for clarifying and bringing up funny memories

ha, I was thinking of the in-ring "I want to fuck Chuck" interview while he was still with Pride (hm, what kind of 'Pride', I'm now thinking)

Frankly I’m stunned that Wild @Wild has not stopped in this thread and posted about how “I don’t want to talk shit about the UG but”, followed by a nine paragraph rant. There’s still time I guess.

I had basically become and only UG guy for a few years and tried to fight the good fight as that forum was slowly overrun by paid schills and trolls. Eventually it became pointless, the mma scene really chaned to a UFC only scene and the UG reflected that in spades and was just unbearable. Someone invited me over so I signed up, posted a little while longer in the UG and then left forever to post exclusively here.

The appeal of early Sherdog and then the UG was that it was truly at the center of the sport where u could discuss things with pro fighters, joe rogan, actually influence things that happened in the UFC, witness crazy shit like the Kimbo/Boston Cop fight live, etc. It was a small sport and the UG was the place where u could be at the center of things and I made a bunch of great contacts, got to discuss things with Commissioners, refs, judges etc.
