Chuck Mindenhall, UFC – Six years ago, in his first professional fight in mixed martial arts, Brazilian Rafaello “Tractor” Oliveira had to face a boogieman who was crushing opponents from his neck of the woods—the fabled Wigman Big Big. Wigman obviously has one the greatest, most mythological names in the sport. But, just as former basketball star Manute Bol had to kill a lion with a spear in his Sudanese youth—a feat that would raise the western world’s collective eyebrow for many years—that night in Pernambuco became a rite of passage for Oliveira.
