    Seeing him bitch slap the Gracies were some of my favorite MMA bouts. When a Gracie lost there was always an excuse but how can you call someone a coward when you backdown from their challenge?

      Gracie’s are a true fighting family.
      Name any family that compares in any for of fighting let alone any sport.
      It’s like saying sakuraba was exposed and his catch wrestling is shit as wanderlei laid him 3x.
      Sami was 4-2 against the Gracie’s. Which is great. One of my favorite fighters but I’m still fans of the Gracie’s
      Newer figbt fans are idiots is my point

    But now, after watching all these fights against the Gracies, it's ignited a new fire in me to start watching UFC again 👊😎🥊

    Honestly people are so easily hyped up. So with todays kickboxing or UFC the early days are easily forgotten. Same with the Gracie's they have been nothing but disrespectful to the art and most countries and fighters that hosted them. ''cosindering him a Japanse version of the Gracie family'' ar you kidding me!? Brazilian flavour added or not do not forget or disrespect where your true martial art roots come from. Even old man Gracie, showing up with a coffin in Japan on his first fight, that's the equivalent of throwing a shoe at a muslim. And even with their own rules when it came down to real fights (with no bs) they usually lost or Royce w/ his standard set of excuses afterwards. Weird how they gained such a fanbase since they're basically con artists. I am from The Netherlands and we had many legendary fighters in the early Muay thai and K-1 days but today it's so different and I am not fond of Rico, or consider him among those greats. You could probably find a decent oponent in a gym in Mexico or Cuba any day. Just a commercially hyped up posterboy on steroids to keep Glory's pockets filled. I don't feel like he is the true champion of the world. Luckily channels like these post and inform about the 'real' days. Do 1 about Peter 'Hurricane' Smit some day, he won the full contact karate tournament in Hawaii in the '80s and later beat Kiatsongrit in Thailand as the first ever foreigner to do so.

    Gracie Jiu-jitsu is awesome. It changed grappling to a degree and popularized Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Mixed Martial Arts becoming a sport, puts all fighting styles under the microscope. the main disciplines of the sport are Karate , Wrestling, Boxing, Muay Thai, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. all fighters in the Sport have to have a basic understanding of BJJ or they won't get very far.
