I demand to be taken seriously

It's incredible how far the sport has come from those days. Sadly when you talk about MMA with most people even today that haven't watched a fight since then they still think it's a no holds barred deathmatch.

UFC 1 hasn't got poo poo on UFC 3. Featuring threee people having to withdraw from the tournament after winning their matches, leading to the winner Steve Jennum winning the tournament without having to fight in the first two rounds. It also features noted rapist and murderer Joe Son in Kimo Leopolds corner who proceeded to act like Kimo had won the greatest victory by forcing Royce Gracie to withdraw. Also possible homeless man Harold Howard who claims that he'd be able to beat Royce Gracie on the ground who then attempts some kinda of flippy scissor kick in the main event and just falls flat on the ground.

Man, the UFC was super rough for the first couple of years. It did give us Gary Goodridge murdering a dude with elbows though and Joe Sons balls being used as a speed bag, that was pretty neat.
Still though, UFC 9 had the worst fight I've ever seen in Shamrock vs Severn.
