Not saying the outcome would have changed because nobody thinks it would have, Rorion had far too much experience . But why did the other fighter have foam gloves on? Honestly the other fighter was handicapped in the altercation with that(and the fact he really didn’t understand how to defend against that on any level). If you’ve ever sparred with foam gloves they take a lot of the sting out of hits.

The Gracies are very savvy businessmen. I would believe Gene over any Gracie. Let's look at Gracie jujitsu in 2024. Kron gets KOd in a few seconds. And he's one of their best.

I would trust Benny Urquidez over the Gracies any day.

They should have invited Sakuraba.

Just because he was sweet and kind”doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. A good challenge helps elevate the martial experience and affords room for creativity. Unless you want a cult of personality and don’t want anyone to challenge you.

Why doesn't this big mouth actually stand up and fight like Benny!

I have a question about Brazilian fighters Rickson won over 400 fights ( claims) and Marco Ruas won over 300 so he claims. How come they never fought if both are from Brazil.

Fascinating stuff, Rorion! For some reason, I always thought Benny was an early adopter of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (like Dan Inosanto and Chuck Norris). I wonder if Benny has since trained in BJJ. I know that he eventually started cross-training in Muay Thai after some challenging encounters with MT fighters; so Benny has demonstrated a willingness to learn new martial arts.

I've seen Benny fight and seen his attitude, Benny is more believable. No MMA fighter who has dealt with Rorion has anything positive to say about him.

Ask gene how much really happened he laugh and say every dream is different 😅

The Gracie team was humiliated by a Japanese fighter on multiple occasions. Why don't you talk about that?

these jui jitsu guys are full of 💩

I bet this guy could fly.... underwater

Luta de dois Titãs

Gene was well past his prime why didn't Rorion get Helios to roll with Gene. Would it be ok if Randy Couture turned up at Helios gym and ask to roll with him

Unfortunately I watched the helio vs kimura match on TH-cam. You can too, but don’t do it if you want to believe everything about Gracie jiujitsu. It’s sort of shattering.

Go to an mma school and try. 😂🎉

Rorion talks sheer flatulence albeit good at promoting himself. What happened with Rorion going in UFC? He pooped his pants at the mere thought of it, as did Rickson. Truth is even before UFC the Gracie's LOST matches and fights, they lost some of the Gracie challenge matches but naturally those are the ones they don't talk about to make it seem like they were invincible. Rorion and Royce were poor athletes but good at BJJ and they relied on fighting people who did not know defences against it.

Rorion...we all know about your lies now. You'd better shut your mouth...

Benny the jet is a legend!

Excellent example of arrogance and a lack of humility!

Seems to me that if GLB can make stories up then the next generation can 🤷‍♂️

I guess there's always 2 sides of the story. Thank you for sharing.

Who as this guy not beat every heard of word humble guess not look benny the jet the greast est never ear him saying how many people he beat

Bullshit he wouild never beat benny hes number one how long wouild he last aginst 2 guys in asreet hes got one in choke hold the other smash bottile on his ok you beleve me hold ten toiet rolls in your hand now defend puch tie your hands up what second guy going do benny he knock 4 guys out onthe steert

No such thing as barzilan jujutsu, there is only Japanese jujutsu or just jujutsu. It doesn't matter how effective it is it's origin is Japanese not barzilan. Anything else is theft. Some may not know what theftis in spanglish culture.

That's why as a Martial Artists you must leave your ego and stay Humble. Learn every technique that works in real combat or sports combat and you will be a real Martial Arts practitioner!

Desafiando outro Zé das couves desconhecido quando pegaram um Mestre de verdade na sua arte como o Sakuraba a chinela cantou para o lado da família Gracie.

Tell the story of when you steal your Brother Carlson Gracie we Brazilians know that story it's very sad and your part of Family try hide that Carlos Gracie create BJJ.

I only trained with Gene less than a dozen times total (in the 90s). In terms of knowledge, Gene wasn't just a "Judo guy". He had an unusually deep understanding of catch-style and grappling in general. The amount of stuff Gene knew was mind-boggling. As mentioned, he was a true character but was extremely gracious to everyone.

The Jet was the best full contact fighter I ever saw.

Dad dad tell us the one about the Sakuraba guy!

I began karate in the 1970's. I remember how the Gracie family turned the martial arts world upside down in the 1990's (UFC events). Thanks to the Gracie family everyone knows the importance of basic ground skills. Unfortunately, imo, all of this bragging is tarnishing the Gracie legacy.

These Gracies are absolutely fabulous at self promotion! They have on so many occasions “changed “ a story as time goes by! Give it another 10 years and he would remember how he chocked out superman !!!

Good story. I was an student of Grandmaster Cho and He wouldn't fight with a clown. His kicks and punches were devastating. a fight with Grandmaster Cho means hospital or funeral. He was powerful and fast. BJJ and Luta fighters punch tires like maniacs. TKD fighters punch concrete since little children and the kicks are fast and powerful. Good story of yours I think You watch too much Goku and Bruce Lee DVDs

Heel Ill Cho is amazing... I grew up in Santa Monica and trained elsewhere back then, but I once got to watch GM Cho do his private workout at his dojang. I just wandered in. He was incredible.

I was there I have my own version

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

Liars and grifters, do yourselves a favor and learn japanese jujitsu the original and leave this fake JJ in the dust.

Benny could wrestle and was great at throws. He also had KO power.

just another bullshit story! Straighten up your version..always changes

yaaa... Benny Urquidez 5′ 6″, Weight 145 lbs - Rorion Gracie 6'2" 165lb

Gene Lebell is 40 years older than him and had nothing to prove

Why dont you tell us when Bob Wall knocked down royce with a tricky kick and a punch......

Next story : when the gracies defeated Bruce lee and after that Godzilla with a rear choke......

So a student goes to another school and sets up a fight between the instructors of two schools ? lol I doubt that very seriously.

This is true, striking and kicking really had no chance against juijitsu back then, even chuck norris got choked in seconds by gracie

Would LUV to hear GM Cho's account of this story!

At that time Rorian would have easily beat Benny. Different type of fighting none of the strikers were prepared for.

Good story different styles..distance vs close now combine them: 2 better than 1
