Royce himself failed a drug test for steroids after the second Kazushi Sakaraba fight.I think Sakuraba whooping his ass for 90 minutes the first time made him turn to roids.

***** gained 30 lbs? Royce has always fought at about 180. If you're suggesting he fought Sakuraba at 210 lbs you're trippin'. And even if he did use a banned substance (which he denies), it wasn't to 'bulk up'. That substance (Nandrolone) is used for quick recovery and to fight fatigue.

Yea he also fought in an oversized gi against guys who wanted strike first and shoot That gi definitely helped him. Or else jujitsu practitioners would still be allowed to wear them.

@Mal Theri it was illegal in the first one but was then legal in the second third and fourth UFC.

@Mal Theri either way shit was like an actual street fight stop being a douche

He's a cheat

Good guitar channel you have dude

@@HagelBiscut well haters gonna hate

Search sakuraba

Ronald P LMFAO

Ronald P I couldn't put my finger on it but you hit the hammer on the nail.

1:19 explains it all

Meh back Then only people knew 1 fighting type , so they didnt know what to do on the ground

and they still wouldnt without his family..

SolarMane Tha Killa No he didn't Zuffa made the UFC what it is.

Thanks God we have you, to spread the word.

I enjoyed watching UFC 1,2 and 3. I hope it will be like that again. 1 man standing.

He's an immigrant

UFC 4 too...

But look what happened when he fought Matt Hughes. He got man handled.

me too :)

+Joey Eln Hmmmm, Eddie Bravo might disagree a touch...

+BrawnyLion kazushi is the gracie hunter beat 4 of them

And when you lose?

Don't forget no weight classes, no time limit, no gloves and only two rules no biting or eye gouging. And then fighting multiple times that shit was crazy.

+Suicide_King yeah but we loved it didn't we

+eminemishh can u show me some fights of the old times

+milincoln totally agree. shit was like a real life Mortal Kombat.

+milincoln totally agree. shit was like a real life Mortal Kombat.

Was he fuck Jiu jitsu isn't a real sport and has no place in ufc, it's more like cuddling than fighting put Gracie against mcgreggor

+deanotattoo I'm a huge Mcgreggor fan but to this day Royce Gracie would kick his ass

+Steven Quillin thank you I wasn't even going to comment to that. out of all the UFC guys I would pick McGregor as my favorite as well... but the current crop of Fighters could not hold up to the old school guys.

+montanastranger That is so true. I met Royce last night it was a great experience

he was never invicible, in his day no one had much ground game if any at all, matt hughes wooped his ass

nobody defends that he's the best in the wolrd, he's not even fighting anymore (since years). But his legacy for the sport will be always remembered... he basicaly created the whole thing and presented the bjj to the world

PrettysureItsInfectd Royce was not the best in 1993, but he was better than everyone else at the early UFCs. As much as Rickson is probably overrated, he was definitely better than Royce.

Considering that tyson was very well capable of of enough power to throw a single knock out punch I'd say it would have been a 50-50 chance. Like royce said at one point he's isn't punch proof. You have to close the distance to grapple so he could either rush into him at the very beginning and risk getting knocked out if he can't immediately take him down (bad idea) or try and survive standing up for a while and tire him out so the takedown will be easier but something tells me royce would have gone for the takedown from the beginning so it's 50-50 from unbiased viewpoint considering the individual fighters not just their "styles"

retro1n2screwdarest Only in refereed sport fighting. If someone I'm fighting tried to lay down with me on top of them I'd pick them up and slam them down on the curb, concrete or asphalt. Wherever we're fighting I'll find something to drop their head on. What's to stop me from shoving a thumb in your eye socket and leaning on it with all my weight? Specify what you mean. Also an experienced striker can hit from angles as well. So getting the takedown is not as easy. I'm not saying it's not effective in the ring. It's just not FAR superior. Depends on the practitioners in the fight.

+BorneoScout Grappling is totally superior to striking. If the UFC didn't have judging, refereeing, and rules that totally favor strikers, the strikers would virtually never win. Plus, the UFC forces the fighters to use gloves, which (1) protect the hands of the strikers, and (2) make it difficult for grapplers to choke anybody.

+profd65 If the UFC didn't have judging and refereeing then grapplers would get their limbs bit off...

BieberSucksCock100 Oh, really. And why do assume grapplers can't also bite? On the ground, the grappler is going to have the dominant position and be much better able to bite, poke eyes, etc., than his opponent.

id say saying youre just a product of your fathers work is pretty humble

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Need more cowbell

I guess they have been unable to find a pretty girl who is actually good at conducting interviews. I just started this one but i have seen others. I know what you mean...
