Kazushi Sakuraba (Japan) vs. Royce Gracie (Brazil)
Fun fact: Mario Yamasaki makes the heart symbol to symbolize he won’t stop the fight until one of the fighters hearts has stopped.
😆😆😆😆😆😆
🤣
Fun fact!!!! Gracie lost this
@@Sniper.925 agreed.
❤️❤️
I have a feeling that if Sakuraba choked Gracie out cold, they still would have found a way to make Gracie the winner.
I have Royce as the clear winner. Just because his strikes don't do damage doesn't mean they aren't significant strikes...
@@eunicestone9563 no cyance is right you're just blind / unaware.
@@eunicestone9563 Go over the rules on how scoring is done, pay close attention to "effective legal strikes", then come back and watch again. Because far too many times people think that just pick the more aggressive fighter as the winner.
Cyance bullshit, Royce is lame duck, he was dominate, humiliate on both fights. He is an average BJJ player that only one when people had no idea about BJJ, since then he can win anything, went to Brazil and got choked out by Wallid
@@malchir4036 Royce took steroids, so it's a loss in spirit! I don't care what the promoters say!
IMO Sakuraba is one of the most underrated first generation mma fighters... Simply put, he got the job done and came out with a win more often then not against some truly elite competition...
Well his record doesn’t look amazing. But obviously that’s not a good indication of how good someone is if they are fighting the best of the best all the time
@@taky2686 how do you know?
@@taky2686 that is about Gracie though, that doesn’t prove Sakuraba was on steroids. It’s never been outed at all if he uses it.
@@dimitripapadopoulos3196 he fought elite heavyweight and light heavy weights as a glorified 170 pounder ofcourse his record is going to reflect that
@@philjoseph3252 well I’ve never heard of them. Have you? A lot of them don’t even have Wikipedia pages. He beat Renzo, Royce, Royler Gracies, Rampage (impressive), Randlemen (impressive but doesn’t he have more losses than wins),Belfort (impressive), and that’s all I can see. He even lost to Leopold (that’s the guy in UFC1 who carried that cross to the octagon). So overall not bad but idk.
Let me get this straight: Hoids Gracie, fighting without a Gi, got anxious about his body so took a load of steroids to bulk up for the cameras. He then lay on the ground and fought like a 5yr old child, while Sakuraba was the clear aggressor throughout. The judges looked at this as a clear win for Gracie. Later, even though he was popped for roids, the promotion "couldn't" reverse the decision.
Nandrolone Gracie disgraced MMA, disgraced the night, disrespected his opponent - by fighting like a coward, taking steroids and insisting on hugs and smiles after cheating him. Just embarrassing.
Sakuraba was in failing health at the time, but still won this fight against someone who, for all the above, should have been unstoppable. Sakuraba is a true legend.
Hoids Gracie,LMAO!
I couldn´t have put it better myself.... and I´m brazilian
Sakuraba jelas2 seorang legenda sejati "pembunuh gracie"
Gracie isn't even top 50
Who is hoids gracie?
So Royce tested positive for steroids for this fight, yet the record books didn't overturn his so-called "win"? What's wrong with this picture?
Royce family rules on MMA burocracy
It means white SUPREMACY is real
iknowz thiz That’s true, but I don’t think that’s related
because of bullshit gracie wealth and influence they are nothing more than thugs in tuxedos
Sakuraba is whiter than Gracie lol
Royce was busted for roids. They never reversed this cheat. Sakuraba is a legend.
They should reverse the match. It's terrible Royce Gracie took steroids.
but royce g went t battle
Michael Zoran they are all on roids
My eggs
Funny how everyone is so determined to take Royce's accomplishments away from him because he was too good and they wanted to get rid of him so they could turn UFC into some stupid tribute to boxing. In a real fight, Gracie wins every single time
This win was gift...because latter changed to big defeat.
When gracie realised that his jujitsu is not on the top started with ego panic and steroids.
true.
he loss already when he use the roids before the "game"
Royce has never been an elite bjj guy...
@@whisperingwind7are are an absolute idiot for thinking any of these guys weren’t taking PEDs
@@TheSands83jajajajajajajajaja Royce Gracie el mejor MMA de todos los tiempos
@@jhonvalle4332 he’s not even close to being the best bjj guy in mma .. he wasn’t ever an elite bjj player.,

Probably a salty wrestler 😂
@@supanigsboi5471 nah their whole fam is just full of arrogant pricks. all sore losers with poor sportmanship too. so satisfying to see sakuraba fuck them all up
@@supanigsboi5471 the gracies are bitches

Pause
Was later found that Gracie cheated by using PEDs and still his "win" wasn't overturned.
Lol, you’re joking right? As if any of these dude weren’t on steroids at the time, and even to this day? Don’t tell me you’re that naive. You really think ken shamrock wasn’t blasting steroids in ufc 1?
@@ethanhoward8506he pissed hot for 10X the natural level of nandrolone a week after the rematch. He got fined and suspended for a year, but the win wasn't overturned.

@@ethanhoward8506Focus on this case, dork
Unanimous? I didn't see a single round dominated by Gracie. That decision was a gift.
Gracie school that piece of shit what are you talking about count the number of strikes genius plus off his back he was a snake waiting to attack that guy had no chance Gracies the king baby learn the game
@@tomcrow1452 Yeah, that's why Sakuraba always beat them in every other match, and messed them up big time. This is the only fight where they didn't tap out on Sakuraba, they obviously don't stand a chance.
Gracie lost big time. But you know defense always wins..
@@feelyoung79 Just not on this day.
It seems there are a lot of cheerleaders and trolls for the BJJ camp while the Gracie's are the founders of BJJ there lack of humility and arrogance especially from the younger generation
Is why there are BJJ schools not affiliated with Gracie jujitsu
Machado top team etc
You can still be a modern martial art
But you need to bring back traditional spirituality and mental discipline of traditional martial arts
And there is more than one style of jujitsu in the Americas
Dan zan ryu jujitsu
With its modern origins in Hawaii
Is as equally effective as BJJ
Sakuraba is a true champion he stayed respectful through the whole thing even after the accusations against Royce of steroid use. He shrugged it off like, whatever he won who cares. One of the top five fighters of all time.
+funknotik I'm new to UFC please share with me who you think are the other 4 top fighters of all time. Unless you mean like Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris or something. I want to know the best MMA fighters that I can watch videos of or other means to learn the best techniques by the best.

Mario was the problem
He cheated every time
@Free ToVoice To be fair thats Maradona we are talking about. Here we have Sakuraba vs Roids Disgracie
Sakuraba looks the better man this time
so true. this isn't how sakuraba fights.
Round 1: Sakuraba
Round 2: Gracie
Round 3: Sakuraba
Winner: 29 to 28 Sakuraba
Concordo com vc o japonês é quem deveria ter sido declarado o vencedor
What fight were you watching?
Sakaraba was too timid, judges in Pride penalize you for lack of aggression.
@@billpool1217 literally everyone in the comments disagree with you. I'm not the only one that thinks Sakuraba won this fight

@@bubufubuKeep crying fanboy, Disgracie struggled even on roids😂😂😂
Unfortunately Gracie took steroids here while they tested Sakuraba as negative. Such a big stain on the sport.
BS tainted drug test.
Kkkkk steroids is part in sport, Brazilian jiu jitsu>>>>all
@@estudante4015 Steroids aren't part of sports, they are the sign of unsportsmanship.
I never knew The Gracies took steroids is that a known fact I never knew that
@@mikerose51 it is sadly. Ruined the image I had of him as the FIRST champion of the ufc
4:00 the way sakuraba predicted and countered that punch was beautiful.
lmao he almost smacked the PEDs out of Roids Gracie
WASABI
Sakuraba spent the bulk of his career in pride and especially in pride peds was encouraged and he fought some savages. Much bigger and more dangerous guys.
And royce beat him because of peds?
Sakuraba lost because he’s a shot fjcvter here. With no knees.
@@oldironsides4107 - Royce slipped his worm in Saka at the 17:44 on mark. That's what made Sak lose. 😂
Timed it perfectly
A grandma could’ve countered that lmao these are amateurs on the feet
allways like to see an innocent and absolutely calm expression on Sakurabo's face in any situation
A true master never panics.
For the record,
Sakuraba clearly won and Royce was busted for steroids.
MMA is having the same crap decisions as professional boxing. Sakuraba landed the most damaging blows throughout, but the 'decision' went to Gracie. Why?
Because they were the media darlings at the time, and a loss in LA, prime time, would've been unacceptable. Garbage. Corrupt judging and politics. MMA has less and less to do with actual fighting as it moves into the future.
Dr. Ziegler very true!!! Though it’s funny they never ever mentioned it in the past media??? I’m SO glad that some do remember that!!🤙🏼
The probably called all the leg hits a piont. Why the win record didn't erase, we found out later. Gracie has a lot of political power. BBJ and Gracie are the biggest name mma big industry money maker. UFC lends more to BBJ Takedown pionts is big counted a knockdown were as a hit punch to the body or head is counted as a piont. So naturally you want more pionts just hit the legs and do take downs and stay in grappling until the bell rings.
@@cccguzman dude thats an old ass fight
@@wpaia bbj? You mean bjj
The judges must’ve counted all those rabbit punches and knees as significant strikes. I’d have to say neither was truly in jeopardy at any point but Sakuraba scored the hardest blows, looked like the main aggressor and appeared to be in control a vast majority of the fight. That SHOULD get you the win.....except in this fight.
back in day, it wasnt illegal litte boiii
It was quite a draw
Sakuraba walks away with a “yeah,I know who won” look on his face.
When Royce kicks at his legs while scooting on his butt reminds me of how children fight.
I thibk thats just BJJ though
Kazushi Sakuraba won this fight, and Royce Gracie was caught using steroids too!
@@kymrobinson7986 I think they take into consideration that the person isn't using their natural power. It's been enhanced. Especially if the fight consists of clinching, grappling or any way where enhanced strength will help. Technique and style will always be the strong point in a fight though. Glad you could handle those cheaters though. Cuz that's what they were trying to do.
@@codeman4546 Who takes into consideration?> The regulators who make the rules and punish them with fines? I had to get checked for caffeine and plenty of less than impressive PEDs when I fought. Most athletes are expected to enter the arena cleaner than most officer workers on Monday and should the tests come back hot they then have to disprove the negative and suffer humiliation, slander and fines while the average joe assumes that any time a fighter's tests are a mess then it automatically means that they are using the best steroids known to man and not just an over the counter pain killer etc>>>
Regardless of all that, if I and others as professional fighters did not care if our opponents were using PEDs then why should you.
Want to know what's worse than all the nastiest, meanest, coolest enhancing drugs known to science? Talent, will and good genetics.
The 1970s period of Heavyweight boxing was amazing for a lot of reasons and a lack of testing and intrusion into the fighters supplementation was one of them. It seems to me that a lot of combat sport virgins seem to have mighty opinions on it all. Active fighters have to be careful what they say because they are on a tight rope but believe me many in the locker room really do not care.
@@kymrobinson7986 you're mad at me? Quite the rage...
@@codeman4546 Why would I be mad at you? I have no idea who you are. I thought this was just a conversation on a You Tube video. Not anything to get mad at?
The guy was cheating dude.
Every chance he could he grabbed the ropes.
Right in front of the ref' too.
If Gracie was caught for steroids it was after this fight.
What about innocent til proven guilty?🙄
If Gracie was using steroids it sure didn't show in his demeanor or musculature.
Sakuraba kicks the shit out of any Gracie anytime anywhere.
This decision fight is ridiculous. Everybody knows the Gracies fear this man.
Well, its known for defeating other Royce family members isn´t it?
Isn't this the fight Royce got caught doping after?
+LIZARD KING it is exactly that one
This would be an incredibly difficult fight to judge. Neither fighter was willing to really make a move for fear of winding up in a bad position. While Sakuraba was admittedly the closest to actually finishing the fight with his kimura/double wrist lock grips, Royce was landing blows consistently throughout the fight which is probably why he was awarded points for the decision.
You know Sakuraba was a legend in the catch wrestling scene, right..?
How on earth is this fight a Gracie win to this date, he tested positive for anabolic steroids
so were most of his opponents
some were 100 pounds heavier then he was he would have been a fool not to.
Rickson Gracie will never acknowledge this match. He still says that Sakuraba was never beaten by a Gracie. Even his loss to Ralek doesn't count cause Sakuraba already did what he had to do.
Even on Roids, Sakuraba held him off, though you can tell he had a hard time pulling any submissions off the roided up Gracie
+Hapkidoin Sabumnim that's the point of Brazilian joy jitsu you are on offense when you are on your back and it works the best
They finally got a win over the Gracie killer when he was past 50 years old
And still it was tough as fuck to beat him.
dude, i love Saku, but don't try and change history. Royce cheated during this fight being on Roids. But, Saku was not 50 or even 40 for this fight. he was 38, but yes beat to hell at this point from all the wars. He never fought Rorion or Ralph. He's defeated Royler, Royce (twice, though on record only once, they didn't have a rule for reversing decisions at the time of this fight), Renzo and Ryan. He has a singular loss to the family in his fight with Ralek, who was 24, while Saku was 43. There were some fishy circumstances at the end of the fight.
@@coachmikesfilmroom3111 fight a brazillion .. and it always will be fishy
@@gmy33 its Brazilian lmfao
Gracie was on roids, he would've smashed him otherwise
Sakuraba is a true samurai. I'm sure the Japanese must damn near deify him. The funny thing is, Sakuraba smokes cigarettes and has the entire time he's been "The Gracie Hunter".
Imagine how much better his cardio could be if he didn't smoke, although maybe the nicotine gives him a small boost.
Nall cigs only effect your eating and breathing both not for the good. He was winning with a disadvantage lol
So smooking is ok now!?
Smoking doesn't help, but why shame people all the time for smoking and acting like they're blowing their own brains out when alcohol kills an exponentially higher amount of people. My old drill sergeant smoked 2 packs a day but had a 13:-- minute 2 mile time at 50 years old. He was a fucking legend. Let us smokers have our heroes and you go, to an oxygen bar and juice kale or w/e you people do.
@@dygbytook3964 i agree i wish they would have thought about things in the past better. Might not be such a bad future we have to fix lol
Royce Gracie caught on steroids after this, this brings shame on the Gracie name
Really? I know Royce Gracie as a legend but I didn't know about the steroids. Geez, what does this mean about his other fight results??? He's tainted, then.
Everyone was on steroids
+Piotr Borowski No. Georges St Pierre has never been on steroids. You can't say everyone is guilty. That's painting everyone with the same brush.
you don't know that, why has he left if he was so hungry for glory? we will never know, so stop talking about what you don't know.
+madbeatle82 Fair enough. I will stop talking.
Look at gracie's face at the moment of announcement..Himself can't believe how Wrong this is...!!!
Sakuraba was Soooooo robbed..!
@0xHAZ3x0 he also used steroids
The Gracie used lots of tricks to win, even when they loose.
Tricks? Sakuraba has the chance. Both had.
It seems that Gracie just knows how to cling on until you're bored to death. Sakuraba should have won.
how come, royce is the winner??.. clearly he was dominated most of the time, in this fight!!..
Abhijit Misra called Jit jitsu
It is called Jiu Judges. It's a sport technique used when you absolutely must win the fight.
Don't get beat up. Sakuraba won judges when he clearly lost too. Just look back to PrideFC when Sakuraba and Royce went at it for 2 hours ;)
Abhijit Misra Royce wins because the fight is fixed that way.
How did you score the match? How many points did you give for strikes, for take downs, etc? Do you even know how to score this match?
This game up on my recommendation don’t even watch MMA. How can anyone possibly believe the Asian guy lost lol.
The Gracie's had no answer for Sakuraba's Kimura!! It seemed he could lock one in whenever he chose.. If the fight would've continued, I think he would've secured that last Kimura attempt and once again, taken a Gracie arm home with him. That's nothing to take away from the Gracie's though, because they are legendary. Sakuraba was simply one of a kind.
No These two men fought once before a hour and a half and Sakura could not get the KIMURA
not to be that AcTuAlLy guy but it's not a kimura in this context, thats a gracie term, its a double wrist lock from catch - the martial art saku got it from
@@andrewtregoning it's a "Kimura." Named after "Kimura," who broke Helio Gracie's arm with the move as well. That was the spirit of "Kimura," telling Helio Gracie that it was still alive. The stare on Helio Gracie's face as it was happening to each of his son's and nephew's said everything. Helio knew it was the spirit of Kimura. Levels.
Facts..
@@TruthHurtzandHealz - Hush weenie. It's wrestling hold first and foremost.
What???! The most rigged decision I have ever seen. Sakuraba knocked him down right at the start, then dominated all the action after that. Easy easy decision, Sakuraba wins.
yeah, Royce even had Vaseline all over his arms and was caught for steroids after the fight, disgrace.
yep it was rigged... one judge score 30-27, that is counting the round that sakuraba knocked him down, and royce was on the ground the entire round... what a bunch of shit
John Trollander yeah, that judge was Cecil Peoples tho and anyone who knows anything about him knows his decisions are usually dumb as hell lol. he wasnt payed off he's just ass backwards on his judging nearly all of the time. he used to be a funny referee to get a chuckle from...."lets dance!"
cKreepy Jones it just looks very convenient to have a judge like that working for a professional sport. It is very convenient to say that the judge is in no way reliable to evaluate the match, and it makes no sense that he is still allowed to continue to do so. He was payed, the whole event seemed rigged. He faught a no time limit fight with Royce, the rules were made by the gracies, and still sakuraba whooped him, they even threw in the towel. Now, for some reason they go to a 3 round match, were the fight doesn't look for me that royce won, and he was given a unanimous descission. The fight was rigged for Royce to survive the fight and win by decission. And that is the type of crap why nobody on brazil likes the Gracies, and why people do not like Royce. It is Bullsht.
cKreepy Jones John Trollander i think the judge makes random stupid desicions in the fights he doesnt get paid, so it look 'normal' when he does make a strange desicion because of money
Sakuraba not grabbing the ropes, even when it'd help out immensely.
Mad respect.

Even without the failed drug test, he clearly lost the fight lmao
Why? Seems like Gracie got in way more strikes, kicks and knees. Sure, Sakuraba's strikes seemed more effective but there were so few of them.
@@ThePopsers Royce was dominated on the flow and barely hit saku. Just because he’s swinging doesn’t mean he’s actually hitting. And just standing there throwing knees for 1 minute doesn’t give you points like that. Also saku knocked Gracie in the first round
I dont see it at all. And I remember watching this live. I thought Gracie had it by a narrow margin.
@@ThePopsers "why?" the fact that you need an explanation when it's clearly a consensus that he won this fight is baffling to me.

@0xHAZ3x0 kubasa did more relevant hurt and gracie did not control exept be on his back and being hurt. No rubber guard no submission no suplex takedown he just submitted all the match
Sakuraba won the fight, they gave it to Gracie, just to make him feel better about his previous losses to Sakuraba, the most Gracie could hope fore is a draw, but to get a win in a fight that he has lost, is a shame, judges are sold out
You tripping. Royce was the clear winner.
Wow 😮 kazushi got robbed big time there’s no way grace won. Must of been the 3 blind mice judging that match
Trained an hour with Sak in 01. He took smoke breaks and smelled like a brewery... and made my white belt ass look silly

@T do you even know how the point system works? Do you compete? I don't think you know how points work.
T obviously you fuckn blind then
I thought Sakuraba won the fight in my opinion but in some cases popularity favors one more than the other. However both practitioners are warriors in my book!
in the end, you said nothing. stfu
I've never heard of Sakuraba, I'm a casual fan. He made Gracie look like a bitch in this fight. Surprised the decision didn't go his way.
ABMcC86 you should definitely watch the first fight they had a long time ago, that was a real fight.
Dude their first fight was a one sided ass whooping. Royse ended up quitting in his corner. Absolute classic bout.
And I agree. This was a theft.
ABMcC86 Grace's family are only marketing...The impostors.
U NEVER HEARD OF SAKURBA.? U MUSTVE BEEN ASLEEP THE LAST 20 YRS
Google sakuraba vs gracies highlights. In early 2000 in Pride FC he beat Royce & 2 more gracies via submission. He was known as Gracie hunter.
On or Off Roids, I still feel like Royce Gracie dead lost this fight lol.
most athletes look for an edge.Sakuraba roids? you don't know. looks more like a draw. boring fight too
Yep. Saved by the bell. That shoulder was almost out. Even with steroids, Sakuraba is better than Gracie. He wanted to defeat and could do it, not to win by points punching a lot of times like a pussy.
Oh hey look its almonte
Just watched this again. Clear win for Royce!

This doesn’t work in UFC anymore. Just laying on the floor. It was the end of an era.
joah45 Maia, Jacare, Ortega did it
fights now have time limits and everyone trains Jiu jitsu so it's a lil different. the overall strategy of defense and allowing your opponent to make a mistake does work for fighting however...
akshay satish I totally respect grappling. I was just pointing out that laying on the ground from the get go is not how fighting works. I would then just walk away and wait.
akshay satish fighting needs to be efficient. Could you go also for the kill? The military in many countries include Martial arts that use just couple of contacts to break the neck. I know many people glorify special army forces but all they say is that they are also just human beings who cannot just kill you by staring you down. I just want to know whether their combat system can really kill people in a fight of life and death. There is one thing to win an MMA Fight but to fight to survive and kill is another.

Royce: Mad at Eddie Bravo for using weed.
Also Royce: Takes steroids.
Whats with this story? Weed doesnt give advantage to fight
that was a bad decision. royce was rarely in control from the looks of it. he got big points for laying on his back the whole first round i guess. wow.
I guess laying down is 10points for the judges 😆
Royce was in control, especially when he was on his back. Look at him backing Sakuraba up from his back in round one.

i know nothing about this sport, but it looked to me that sakuraba was faster and a better athlete.
That is the point of Gracie Ju jitsu. They are able to beat those that would beat them otherwise. It is the best art to know.
+Donnie E Sakuraba's nickname is The Gracie Hunter because he beat every Gracie he fought
Crimson Route not in this fight. It was a tie
This fight is meaningless without context. Royce was the first true jiu jitsu expert in the UFC and he was destroying everyone. Sakuraba was the first to really beat him with his thai kickboxing, and from that day on, anyone worth their salt in the UFC was trained in both Thai kickboxing and brazilian jiu jitsu.
Also, imagine how BA Gracie was, he agreed to an unlimited length fight against someone. Fighting for 25 minutes straight is more exertion than most of us can posssibly imagine.
Also, even after his leg was broken, he was willing to keep fighting.
His laying on his back is actually an advantageous position given his BJJ training. He'd beaten an incredible number of people before by doing exactly that. He knows countless submissions for every limb from every position.
Yes, he lost, but he lost well. And Sakuraba was a beast and an incredible fighter to beat him.
None of that is relevant
Royce fights like a guy who doesn't want to be in a fight. You can see that Kazushi is just fed up with him.
He seemed to even kind of like the guy if you ask me. Like in an almost friendly way
Saku won the standup game and did more damage and forced Royce to shoot. Sakuraba caught about every attempt and the ones he didn't he ended in a dominant position. How you could judge a win for Gracie is crazy to me. Even in the clinch Sakuraba escaped or reversed it on Gracie even getting a take down on one. This 100% was fixed lol
Gracie tested positive for anabolic steroids after match.
Good point. He was a totally different fighter to the one that won the original UFCs, and I believe he should have stuck to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" theory, the dick.
GodofredoKS So he is a peace of shit then
Neil Petersen Peace and love
Really? He is a grappler.needs skill and stamina not muscle.
***** its actually widely available information, look it up yourself
Merda, eu venho vê os comentários e não dá pra entender nada...kkkkkk
Kkkk pois é
Basicamente estão todos dizendo que o Royce não ganhou essa luta porque depois dela deu teste positivo por uso de insteroides pelo Royce gracie
Fucking jjb!
Lets try to learn some english ahhahahha tamo junto mano
@@23esify. também não entendi nada....kkkkkk
How can royce win this fight? he was humilliated
They are a mafia you know....
He was with roids also Royce !!!
🤓🤓
He may have walked away with the W but Sakuraba clearly was better.
Chora muito
Humilhado onde? A maior quantidade de golpes nitidos ele quem desferiu
Along with politicians, fight judges are the most corrupt there are. No ethics. As someone else here said, as soon as fighters figured out what Gracie jiu-jitsu was, they were done.
Gracies have a history of putting friends to judge or buying stuff. Gracies got influence in brazil specially rio, in japan is yakuza who rules i thought this was weird cause yoshida victory was turned no contest by gracies demanda yet this victory royce tested positive for roids or something still won
Everyone who says that BJJ is the BEST martial art, just stop. There is no best martial art, only better users
Total bs they should go back and change this to a no contest
I can tell by your user name you are totally unbiased lol
SaintsBrees09 biased or not he's right. problem was they didn't have a rule for overturning a decision for steroids at this time. So Royce just got the suspension.
I am a huge Gracie fan dont get me wrong but i agree. Royce using roids was a huge disappointment for me :(
lol guess im not suprised i saw u here
Lets be real man, does Royce look like he's roided out here?
The gracies check under there beds at night in case Sakuraba is under there the stuff of nightmares.
amazing comment simply amazing well put
Pennywise look under the bed for Kazushi
HAHAHAHA
There's absolutely *nothing* wrong with Sakuraba's right knee. As a matter of fact it's very probably stronger than his left. You can see in all his fights that he not only kicks predominantly with his right but he also absorbs *a lot* of punishment to it. Throughout his whole career and all the matches I've seen he's always banded his right knee. *Sun Tzu's art of war. YOU* con your enemy into thinking *'he'* figured out where to attack *LOL*
Francis Ngannou fooled all of us!
He was a southpaw, probably because of his wrestling background. The front leg was his shooting leg and after a lifetime of going for takedowns off of that leg, he probably just wanted to prevent injuries or maybe to make sudden level changes easier. But yeah, he never really seemed to have actual issues with that knee.
Even slightly injured your stronger leg is stronger
Legal !!! Vc descobriu a América !!!
@@alexandreeisabela3657 Que caralho???? Nem uma pesoa que comprende algo de Portugues pode entender o que acabas de escriber hahaha 🤣
Royce saved by the bell. Sakuraba was about to break another Gracie arm.
10 more seconds from ripping an arm away.
Gracie lost, you could see the fear in his eyes. Such a dis grace d.
Kazushi,,grace full enough to accept the WRONG decision with a smile.
Knowing you Won is on the inside!!
The technique of Hoyce is flawless. He pounds Kazushi with distractions waiting for the right chance to cheat.
That stupid gi he wore won most of his fights for him.
How did he cheat here? Timestamp please
flawless?! did u watch the fight
@@commycasty And wrestlers like Shamrock weren't allowed to wear their wrestling boots when fighting Gracie.
Today, the CSAC released further test results revealing that Royce Gracie has tested positive for the anabolic steroid Nandrolone Metabolite. Gracie defeated Kazushi Sakuraba by unanimous decision at the K-1 Dynamite show on June 2nd in Los Angeles, California.
The fight that coined the new name "Roid" Gracie.
Lol. So true
Is it also spoken Hoid? 😄
@@Htrad Pretty much lmao

You’re already beat, when you have to cheat.

Royce the steroids cheater
Gracie family are all scumbags except for Renzo
@@diningroomfish5470 it's a classic rhyming idiom that doesn't get the echo it deserves. Often it's proven true, as in this example which other's have informed you of the details there in, so no need to repeat.
Kudos to @Christ's Chin for keeping it alive. Can't believe it didn't get more Likes. Simplicity is beauty.
Christ’s Chin So true. I've been saying it about Jon Jones for years.
Thats a shocking result. Royce got his ass handed to him... again.
Don't think you watched the fight.
@Michael Terrell II Not convincing at all, I watched the fight and Royce won? saying "Royce got destroyed" isn't doing anything here. All of these guys who thinks sakuraba landed more hits, clearly doesn't know what they are talking about.
That's why they say don't leave it up to the judges.
@@jacuziiiblack6637 wefound the gracie fanboy guys. Roidce was cheating and still got kicked in his fuckin legs like a lil bich
I dont know man... for real though Royce had more striking and I would say that all ground was even
Royce and Sakuraba had a rematch in 2007 in K-1 Dynamite!! USA, where Royce defeated Sakuraba by a unanimous decision. However, Royce tested positive for steroids after the fight, and his win was overturned to a no contest. This tarnished his legacy and reputation among MMA fans
lol what a schmuck
Decision was rigged. I hope every single Gracie loses every fight forever.
Yeah and Matt Hughes beat the shit out of Royce Gracie. Royce tapped out on Hughes vicious strikes.
Midwest pride
How in a hell that's win for Gracie? It is a shame. Respect for Sakuraba.
the Gracies write all the rules for their fights
SAKURABA WON PERIOD. Gracie Politics as usual
O Sakuraba, realmente era muito bom, a luta foi muito disputada. Deu trabalho para o Gracie. Parabéns para os dois lutadores. Como sou judoca, sei valorizar uma boa luta.
Anyone who has followed Royce through the years can tell just by looking at him here that he was on steroids. Royce has never appeared to has any sort of muscle on his body but he clearly has a more built upper body here.
He's not even that built. Sure he's muscular as in athletic muscular but he doesn't look like a freak on steroids. Being muscular doesn't=bodybuilder. Mike Tyson, or Dwayne Johnson, Brock Lesnar look more like they might use steroids. Even A lot of guy's that are 6'0" at a ripped 190 to 200 pound's aren't usually on steroids cuz even those weights aren't freakishly muscular. A lot of guy's that are 6'0" that workout can get to those weights naturally. It's the guys that are like 220 pounds and heavier that might be on steroids but not always. Some guys like Samoans have naturally huge Muscles. Dwayne Johnson is Samoan and he probably doesn't use steroids cuz a lot of Samoans even tho most of them look fat are built like guy's like the rock underneath all that fat. 6'0" 190 pounds to 200 pounds is a mesomorph build which is in between ectomorph and endomorph which makes mesomorph a average build. Of course most guy's aren't a ripped 6'0" 190 to 200 pounds unless they workout but for guy's that workout that's a pretty average weight if you ever seen the average healthy guy not a musclehead at the gym. The big muscle heads at the gym are way way heavier than 190 to 200 pounds. Nowadays since guy's having big muscles isn't attractive to women anymore so guy's don't care as much about trying to be the size of the hulk guys that are even slightly muscular are considered huge to people cuz most guy's are going for the Justin Bieber, lil Wayne, or Tyga look cuz the skinny tattooed lean rapper guy is the guy's girls like nowadays. Girl's like guy's that are punky looking or boyish looking nowadays. Back when the emo trend was popular when I was in highschool (I'm 31 years old now that was years ago) all the girls liked the skinny emo boy. Girl's aren't as much into the big muscular country boy with thick muscular forearms and big muscular callased hands anymore. Royce Gracie is only in the 170s in weight. I forget his exact weight but it's in the 170s and he's 6'1". A person doesn't have to be huge to use steroids so their is a lot of athlete's out there you can't tell by looking at them they're on steroids. Royce Gracie may be on steroids but that doesn't mean you can tell he's on steroids just by looking at him cuz he's not freakishly muscular. There's A lot of Olympic sprinter's that take steroids but most sprinter's even if they are really muscular usually are only in the 170s to 190s in weight at 6'0" 6'1" to 6'2" in height cuz they need enough muscle mass to be explosive and fast but not so much muscle it slows them down. Even tho sprinter's don't look like bodybuilders a lot of people would assume every really muscular sprinter they see is on steroids cuz being skinny or having a average dad body is the norm nowadays. Even if there are a lot sprinter's on steroids that doesn't mean just cuz a sprinter is a little muscular and ripped he's on steroids. Cuz people are so use to seeing skinny muscular guy's like Justin Bieber people forget what a real man's build looks like. A real man's build is that country boy with muscular thick forearms with muscular callased dirty greasy hand's and thick finger's. I never thought the day would come when people thought guys like lil Wayne, or Justin Bieber. The media keeps mentioning how much more muscular Justin Bieber is now than when he was a teenage boy but to be honest he still has a skinny teenage boy body just with some muscles but he still looks skinny.
Kron Gracie: Signs with the UFC
Kazushi Sakuraba wants to know your location
This video came out in 2009. I respect the continued viewing of such legends.
Kron Gracie would destroy Kazushi Sakuraba. Come on now.
Rickson would eat sakuraba alive
None of it! SAKURABA lost to Ralek Gracie! ruclips.net/video/eAch-TiMois/видео.html
Kron would probably own Sakuraba. Especially since Sakuraba is super old nowadays and Kron is young and amazing.
Royce isn't a legend of MMA, he's a myth. The only time he has ever been a real force in fighting was when absolutely no one knew his style.
Go do what he does, then talk shit.
You mean go back in time and fight using Jujitsu that only I and my family knew? Win a few tournaments and then proceed to talk shit and fight washed up legends of the sport as an old man? Sure. Just let me get on that.
Can't forget to use some of those steroids to help get the job done.
Yeah, bjj was a mystery in the old days of mma. The sport has evolved and one can no longer be one dimensional. Royce in his prime would get his ass whoop by current B level fighter.
He changed the landscape of the sport with his dominance. He is absolutely a legend and pioneer of the sport. He is the reason the sport evolved and we now have fighters cross training in multiple arts. You are a dumbass.
Rare video of Mario Yamasaki being a good ref
Royce lost that fight from the opening bell until the end. Total rip off.
BS. Royce won from start to finish. Rickson would have wrecked Sak so Pride never let the fight happen. Blamed Rickson's salary demands. Sak admitted it in Grappling Mag. interview.
I guess the peple who are claiming royce lost from start to finish didnt watch the same fight i did if it went a minute or to longer who knows but all i so was gracie scoring points
Did you not see how many hits he got in what
@@gerrylee4141 did u watch the fight from another dimension or what!
Gerry Lee I think you are from another planet, because Royce didn’t won this fight
Why is the crowd booing? and more importantly why is the ref shouting come on action? I'd like to see if anyone in that arena including the ref would last 20 secs against any one of these two absolute legends.
The Sad thing is I can't find any of Fights of when Gracie was in his absolute Prime. Sakurba II came in 2003 and the Shamrock ended with a draw.

+Samuel Hsu ....Well , the first Royce v Kazushi fight was that epic grand prix final in 2000 that lasted 90 mins , 6 x 15 min rounds , Gracie was pretty much in his prime at the age of 33 , you can find the full fight on you tube , hope that's what you were looking for.
+Samuel Hsu Royce Gracie's greatest fights were in his UFC tournament days: UFC 1, UFC 2, UFC 3 and UFC 4. Some fights are on here but hard to find. I believe UFC Fight Pass has them all.
+Maltese Falcon Cause the ref was about to fall asleep
I like his fighting style. It is not about win or loses, it is about how to put energy in fights. It is about to be the best... but your best, improve every day, every battle, step by step. Training hard :) Saku is my favorite fighter.
Melhor lutador japonês de todos os tempos, a lenda Sakuraba❤
Marmelada, Royce apanhou a luta inteira, Sakuraba wins
Apoiado
I use this fight, and
Kazushi Sakuraba's record as proof that the gracies are protected and MMA is as fake as anything else
Yuppppp. Facts
quite correct, gracie did not win in fact his performance was poor
Heretic
Yip fake as:
Dinosaurs
Spinning ball earth
Moon landing
True.
Wow how embarrassing its all over Gracie's face he knows he lost this fight but because of his family they gave him the win...
Awww..Royce had finally won one against the Legendary Sakuraba yet he failed his post fight drug test shaming himself. Curiously the record was never corrected to a no-contest.
Yeah the fight happened before California had the rules to make it a no contest
@@coachmikesfilmroom3111why would they test if they would do nothing about it?
@flowrepins6663 the sport was newer at the time the csac already had drug testing in place for other sports, bit as far as mma, didn't have policies in place yet for a positive test post fight.
The audience is getting mad at two grapplers for grappling?
america audience
Muka Gila casual audience*. You’d be naïve if you think that a European, African, or Asian audience wouldn’t be the same.
Que safadeza ...os gracie sempre contam com um amiga para ajudar na luta, o juiz
Royce foi derrotado sem sombra de duvidas e logo após a luta, foi pego no doping
como assim contam com uma amiga?
Sakuraba showed a lot of respect for a dude who just got robbed by decision.
What do you mean robbed by decision?, Count the amount of strikes Royce landed, and then the amount that Sukuraba landed. If you payed attention Royce landed probably 20x the amount of strikes that Sakuraba did, he was practically only defending himself the entire time, and got saved by the ref several times when they broke it up. (Every time it was broken up he was in a disadvantageous position, and didn't have the strength to get out)
Nah saku won that fight
@@kevinthelivingweaponmathew6582 no he didn't, maybe put a reason why you think he did instead of just a blank statement.
The match that Sakuraba actually won.
Yeah all judges must be bought!!
Sakuraba has dominated all rounds 🙄
Sakuraba Really Won..The crowd's response showed that. Gracies carry power in the fighting world and often win fight decisions even though they clearly got beat by opponent
@@matooleyobrien2918 The crowd my ass! Did u even watch this or did u fast forward through to parts? I watched the whole thing. Gracie clearly won. He was offensive from the beginning to the end. Other dude was more counter. He landed a couple good strikes, but Gracie rode throught hem and dominated, from his back, where he usually always did. I actually just watched this becasue of the comments and once again, I learn why not to listen to the majority. U wanna see an actual good clear as day Gracie loss (draw actually but, u be the judge...) watch Royce and Eddie at metamorphosis 3...
@@beyondquestion No bro a knock down in the first round plus actually moves towards submission each round compared to what, a weak attempt at going for the leg and pushing him against the ropes with no successful attempts at gaining submission position. Gracie lost this without question he's just too good at slipping submissions. I think both guys fought well its probably should have been a draw. just personal opinion though ;)
he lost 1st round :D
and he lost the 2nd round :D
I do believe they took home best hug of the year at the Oscars that year.
4:32 the best fighting skill in the history of the earth...
Jajajaja...what a didgrace right...thats their whole game plan ...to bring it to the ground..where im from man up stand up is the honorable manly thing to do. This fighting on his back bullshit makes me want to puke so bad. Did you see royler gracie vs Saku? Even worse...the Gracies are so pussy.
lol
***** they use catch wrestling dumbass and the bjj people are absolutely useless against it. Suddenly bjj is all that exists lol. Your as delusional as the grcies themselves. Thats why a catch wrestler josh barnett is metamoris champion. The graxcies are so pathetic they believe their own bullshit. It never really works outfor them. Helio was destroyed when he invented the style by learning judo and calling it bjj. KImura slapped him around like a toddler
+streetswilson jose aldo vs chad mendes...
Se todos os Grayce tivesse a disciplina de Royce, a trajetória da família seria um nível maior.
I had the Asian guy winning. Weird decision.
It's not weird. Any decision with the Gracies is going to goto the gracies. I don't think you know how big the gracies are
Grande Sakuraba!
Sakuraba is a gentleman, warrior of honour
I like how he shook hands with and bowed to the Gracie corner after the decision. He showed great respect
The fact that Royce is the only member to simply survive the distance really proves how paid the judges were. Gracie didn't deserve that win at all.
Clinching and laying on your back like a turtle is sadly how you dominate in a fight it seems.
Royce got some nice looking strikes in but big whoop; they never phased Sakuraba and on top the that, this fight was like the 10th attempt to prove that the Gracie method could "dismantle any striker of any size" and it failed because Sakuraba completely demolished Royce with ground control and slipped out of every tangle Royce attempted. Again, beating the Gracie family at their own game.
Royce did steroids, spent virtually half a decade preparing for this exact fight, avoided Sakuraba until he was 40 years old, smoking, out of his prime, in a lesser health, and a few losses, and Royce STILL couldn't even phase Sakuraba.
I'm sorry but I respect the JiuJitsu method, especially its evolution into MMA, but the entire Gracie family seems fraud after this legendary fued. Definitely not bull-shito but really exposes the forced hype and selectiveness the family used to sell their method.
