Anime Baki the prehistory?

I watched the anime Baki on Netflix and now I'm wondering what the prehistory is, so whether there's an anime. Because on Netflix, it starts with winning a tournament

I would like to know the name of the anime, if it exists, that existed before the Netflix anime.

It starts in the middle of an arc

Grappler Baki The Ultimate Fighter (1994) ka whether that still counted was the anime first work

Baki the Grappler (S1 and S2) from 2001

Grappler Baki or Baki The Grappler. Two seasons with 24 episodes each.

Is it both the same story newly animated as in Hunter x Hunter?

The 94 to 2001 version?

ka did not watch the 94 version

you can start with the 2001 version
