The UFC celebrates its 30th anniversary Nov. 12 and the promotion recently organized a get-together for the six remaining living tournament participants. The six pioneers met over dinner at an undisclosed location and shared drinks, food, laughs, and memories. The gathering was recorded and released in a video segment published Saturday entitled “ Fighter of the Roundtable .” On hand were Gerard Gordeau  and Taylor Wily (known as Teila Tuli during his fighting days), the two fighters from the first-ever UFC bout. UFC Hall of Famers Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie were also on hand, as were Art Jimmerson and Zane Frazier
