- Every mixed martial artist in the world owes Royce Gracie, the original and three-time UFC tournament champion, a debt of gratitude. A true pioneer and UFC icon. Watch Royce's last fight against Kimo Leopoldo at UFC 3, then watch the full collection on UFC FIGHT PASS: www.ufc.tv/category/ultimate-royce-gracie

The door to the octagon was left open, you could legally headbutt, knee to the groin and pull peoples hair and you could put a lightweight in the same ring as a heavyweight and watch them fight it out. Man the ufc back then was insane
And they fought bareknuckles
Man I loved all of it excpet the kick in the groins.
UFC back then was just a marketing tool to promote Royce selected fighters they could counter
😂😂😂😂😂
You Wish same
10 secs into the fight "this is the longest we've seen Gracie standing up" Lmfao
Lmao
FAMÍLIA GRACIE PORRA
Hahahahaah
bro this shit had me dying 😂
lmao and I thought you were exaggerating
This is when the ufc was magical - you truly had fighters from many different styles. It was like Street Fighter but in a cage. Royce and his family were and are legends and I remember the mystique they had back then
Honda beat him, and Chun-li, jaja for sure
I agree. It was like something out of blood sport. Unique style vs. unique style. It's kind of lost it's allure in a way. For instance if you have 2 brazilian jiu jitsu world champions fight - the fight can often just turn into a D level kickboxing match because neither wants to be on the ground with the other (same with 2 wrestlers who can't take each other down). Or you have 2 fighters with essentially all the same jack of all trade talents and nothing stands out.
Absolutely agree. The UFC of old was amazing back then, where style and technique reigned supreme.
Pulling hair does not make you a legend
Yeah as soon as he wasn't allowed to wear the gee in ufc he did nothing but lose,
This art, expressed so capably by Royce, is the product of three generations of improvement. The Brazilian Jujitsu families forced every other martial art to up their games, and also advance. What a great gift to the martial world!
This was before Muay Thai was popular, the literal counter to the clinch.
There were a lot of rule created to favor the Gracie's. There tons of info on it on TH-cam.
It's the art of fixing the fights so you don't get your head kicked in.
Fake champ.
@@op8995 Back in the days when Royce Gracie dominated there were 3 rules 1. no eye gouging, 2 no blows to the groin, 3 no biting. Which of these were "created to favor the Gracies"?
@@op8995 VC TA FALANDO MERDA SÓ EXISTIA TRÊS REGRA SEU IGNORANTE...OUTRA COISA SE O LUTADOR LUTAVA COM SAPATILHAS NÃO PODIA CHUTAR SEU ADVERSÁRIO ....
I think kimo's entrance drained half his stamina meter.
Chloranthy ring and grass crest shield help alot. 😁👍
Kimo had a "cross tattoo" before cross tattoos were cool. :)
😂😂😂😂
Yes. For sure
Rofl lol
"There's the headbutt... There's the knee to the groin!"
Ah the golden years
Man those looked painful
early UFC was uncharted era in fight sports..and yes i agree those were the golden years
"Golden years" stfu. This is trash. You'd seriously rather seeing guys get randomly kicked in the balls and have their hair ripped out and permanently damaged than watch technical battles in a sport with RULES that seek to encourage professional displays of martial arts rather the street fights? Stfu. "Golden years" my fucking hairy nutsack. The golden years are now.
@@MrCholoPants3415 You are right. You were still in nuts, when this sport emerged.
@@MrCholoPants3415 the appeal of ufc in those days was it's similarities to real street fights different people from all walks of life with different capabilities allowed to do practically anything so stop being a snowflake and enjoy the golden years

LOOOOOOL what a legendary pun.

Kenji314159 kek 😂😂😂😂😂
I watched this live.... and for those who don't know the full story, Gracie got Kimo to submit, but that submission came at a price, with exhaustion and dehydration forcing Gracie to withdraw from the field just moments ahead of a semifinal bout with Harold Howard. When the announcement came that Gracie couldn't continue, Kimo ran to the octagon and celebrated as if he hadn't just surrendered his match minutes beforehand. It was a wild night.
Kimo couldn't even tap. It was a verbal submission to big John. Royce had is elbow hyperextended underneath his hips. If Kimo didn't give up he would have broken his elbow.
Howard turned out to be so rubbish Gracie could have fought in the condition he was in and still won.
@@redrum4100 Absolutely true. Howard later went on to lose his mind and get arrested for assault and threatening his family. Crazy.
@@maxxxmodelz4061 And totally bottled it the moment he was on his back in the final, so would have instantly tapped with Gracie taking him down.
@@redrum4100 Did you see his one other MMA fight outside the UFC? OMG he was horrible. Tapped to strikes and looked like a fish flopping around out of water. Granted his opponent was a monster grappler, but Howard claimed to have invented a type of defense against ground fighting and was supposedly the Ju-Jitsu champ of Canada. LOL
Only here after watching Baki reference
This is so intriguing!
The crucifix intro, the hair grab, the free roamers outside the cage, the cage gate swinging open, fighting without a mouth guard, the weight difference.
Because is 1993 different rules those times I mean almost no rules.
This was the greatest fight in the world. It's been almost 30 years and I haven't seen anything close to this fight.
Oh dude yeah..ok yeah not going at it with a mouth gaurd was asking for broken bones. actually look up UFC 1 tayolor willi a yokazima (the tittle not wrestler) vs Gerard Gordeau. because that's what happend, along with a few broken teeth.
@@gorkskoal9315 that was a great kick....Gracie submitted that guy fast in the final that year.... And he took care of Ken shamrock fast as hell in ufc 1
@@1234qwer1002 lol yeah...and because of how those two went at it: 60 minutes of crickets, just circling the ring, we now now have things like: forced stand up and do something. and time limits.

Comment of the century...🤣🤣🙈🙈
😂🤣😂🤣
This comment is too good😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I miss Royce Gracie and his very controlled style. you feel he is always in control, badass right there!
He was a cheating bitch, but pretty good. People today are so much better, but without him and his dad it wouldn't be the same.
By pulling and holding hair 😂
@@CapFlipGaming
Cope
He was just that good
keeping crying
I miss the early days of mma when the Gracie family and bjj had a mystique . Nowadays everyone knows everything so the magic is gone
Royce was always so good at avoiding getting hit with hard, clean punches! Even his clinch had incredible timing.
I loved ufc back then. Barely any rules, seems like mortal kombat characters
hahahhahaa totally
Didn’t seem like actually fighting with the pussy shit like hair grabbing groin shots and more
Watching all of this on TH-cam looks absolutely crazy. Injuries happened all the time, groin shots, kneeing in the ground. Wild.
@@gamerepic4760 That's what ACTUAL fighting is. You can call it pussy shit, but you'd do it too if someone attacked you outside of an octagon. I'm not critiquing UFC for protecting it's fighters, but you're not a pussy for being smart.
@@gamerepic4760 It's the opposite, fighting ain't supposed to have any rules. The UFC is combat sports, not actual, real, fighting. Fighting is what people do on the street, with eye piercing, head kicking, weapons, groin kicks, hair pulling and so on.
Back then the UFC was closer to being fighting since it has fewer rules. Nowadays it's closer to a sport.
Commentator: "One of the best fights in UFC History"
Event: UFC 3 LOL!!
It's the best of all time.
he shows what Gracie's want to show. BJJ is superior than other Martial arts.
Today we have all kind of fighters in UFC: boxer, may thay, karate, judo, Wrestling, russian wrestling... but all fighters practice BJJ.
@@andreivieira *it's funny how he talks about ufc history and it's only their third event. A bit premature, don't you think??*
@@robertwhite uh, i think its because ufc was created by his old brother
@@andreivieira that's not the point i was trying to make though.. ahahahahaha.. 🤣😂🤣. You can talk about history if something has been around for a while where you can actually make a big comparison.

@@andreivieira Technically doesn't Khabib do Sambo? I don't actually know

That's crazy. UFC sure has changed
@@hell-bringer lol so like what having a temper tantum and try to bribe refs because your school foot part of the bill is better? Personally despite my experience with tachi and kick fighting say: don't jump into a fight, carry a tazer, and just give someone that wants to fight you a smil with a legit (sounding at least) compliment. has worked so far. lol I genuinely hope I never need to use what ever skills I have. lol that or just piss my pants and go oookay this is going to suck.

Love how you can watch UFC events from the early 90's and still see Big John McCarthy reffing the fights
Saw this live for free on illegal cable when I was 11, ah the good 'ol dayz
the man days of ufc the clock counts up and no weight classes.royce fought 3 fights that night.legendary
No he didn't. Lol he forfeited after this fight because of exhaustion. 5 minutes caused him to be overly exhausted. Overrated as hell.
i watched this live!! Yes he did.
silversugafish matthew Against an opponent that outweighed him by 80 lbs. Not something you could do I'm almost willing to bet mucho dinero against.
John Hall Clearly you had taken too many drugs that night then.
Harold Howard got a bye in the semis due to Royce not being able to fight due to fatigue.
silversugafish matthew He did fight a 36 minute one round fight 7 months later, So either he fixed the problem quick smart (not a sign of being overrated) or it was just a bad night.
Kemo is constantly whispering to royce "jesus loves you"
HAHAHAH i was thinking the same joke when i saw that huge cross
😂😂😂
kkkkkk good one tho
hahaha
@Thrasymachus Monk i call that a obama and sometimes michelle obama.
this is the embodiment of ultimate fighting, in that by the end of it, only a few minutes later you can see the exhaustion on both fighters.
Amazing
Love watching these older fights. Truly the ultimate fighter.
Lol people complaining about that hair grab... how about that 100 pounds weight difference...
and he had to wear a gi
+Thehanx Yeah, 100 lbs weight difference was the clincher on this. Royce lost the next fight after this one because Kimo had thrashed him.
+Anything Ordinary yeah he could grab his gi
+Thehanx if only it was just a hair grab lol
+8digitPDX Who did he fight next?
I'm trying to go back and watch these fights.
I love that john mccarthy's been there since the start

statingjake yea same and still people think turd dean is better
Yep. McCarthy is definitely one of the best referees ever in MMA.
statingjake
Not the start, UFC 1 had a different referee.
statingjake actually he came in at ufc 2
It's always inspired me when i see Royce Gracie fight on the octagon. Very talented, skill full, and his fighting spirit, no one can do the same.
Pulling the opponet's hair is a great skill.
that was a bitch move
@@tedgregersenvalasko2375different times man don’t forget the groin kick
I remember seeing this live. My life was never the same.
9:00 Cutest tap in mma history.
Lolol super mini tap
Lazy taptap
Must have been a more exhaustion tap. If it really hurts you will tap much more emphatically lol
Very discret, and private...meaning: "now I know, you're the man!!" Lol
Hahahaa baby tap
Early ufc was full medieval
I don't see horse and lance.
Medieval tournaments were waaay more organized than this clusterfuck Lmao
The closest we'll ever get to gladiator fights.
Yeah for real no gloves at all
I remember watching these Gracie matches when I was young & just being amazed how he could latch onto someone's body & punch, knee, bend their limbs & occasionally kick someone til they were forced to submit. It was fascinating
And I loved how Royce would rest on his opponents during long ground battles, staying as relaxed as possible, exerting only minimum required energy.
Harrison does the same thing, and in a battle of attrition, having even slightly better leverage than your opponent over time will become a bigger and bigger advantage.
@@itinerantpoet1341 most boring shit ever
Yeah and used that reinforced ghee as a weapon...cheat
Yeah, he reminded me of a spidermonkey, the way he'd just sling himself around and always seem to slip out of everything. But considering the way he was pulling hair here, he probably had his body greased with Vaseline under the gi, doing all the dirty tricks that those people do.
Royce was so revolutionary. He just showed that taking a fight to the floor is the most effective way of winning it. And that's how MMA has been ever since 👍 The first few UFCs were funny because you'd have guys trying to have stand up fights, and having no idea how to handle Royce constantly trying to take them down to the mat!
Yup. They mastered the ground when every other martial art ignored it. Wrestling is the best at going from the feet to the ground but once on the ground they have really bad habits and have no way of ending the fight.
Royce Gracie:
-Tournament seller UFC 1,2 and 4
- First member of the Hall of Fame
-Together with his family he helped spread MMA around the world
Legend!!!
legend my ass he was a shit fighter
and the gracies ran the ufc back then to promote their style
@@Stemlok lmao "shit fighter" as you can see he dominated those years and this was truly "as real as it gets" You can thank this "shit fighter" and his family for not only bringing MMA to the US but also for making the ground game so respected. Please go ahead and log off.
Royce wouldn’t survive in today’s UFC. All the hair pulling and grabbing his rope to lock up guys is straight bs. A lot of what he did would be illegal today.
@@Coach_Kaltenecker No shit. This match was as real as it gets. You were allowed to do anything but eye gauge. You can still thank his family for bringing BJJ to the US.
@@Coach_Kaltenecker but it's okay that kimo is on roids and how much more heavier you think he is over Royce? Royce had to find a way to survive and he did that against any opponent. So stfu and sit down
Still the greatest fight after all these years. Royce gets in a cage with a dude 70lbs heavier than him in a fight with hardly any rules. What a set of balls
Absolutely one of the greatest fights in MMA history!
@@charliecox7574 don't be unreasonable these guys had balls and deserve all the respect but most of the fights from those days are a joke
@@n.n.5286 hahahah. True. They were pretty bad. Gracie was the exception. Some of those clowns like Keith Hackney and that fat dude yardbury or whatever. Fuckin' comic show.
@Siedler Joe And? Are you kidding me? There are only 3 rules. So basically Kimo got his ass kicked cuz he got his little hair pulled. Awww poor baby. Like a little girl.
@Siedler Joe Nah, you got it mixed up pal. So your saying this big 250 guy got beat up by a little girl move. Got it. If you get your ass beat cuz someone pulled your hair you are a fuckin' pussy. Its that simple.
This has a pro wrestling intro to it... the walk in... so great.
Incrível a oportunidade de admirar atletas de estilos diferentes, lutando sem categorias de peso, sem luvas, em uma luta real. Adoraria ter a chance de algum dia lutar nessas condições. A adrenalina deve ser incrível. Bons tempos.
"If one wishes not to be handled, one should not grow a handle" - some words from my old instructor that apply well here.
The hair is a good handle, and in a fight it should be taken advantage of. I have won a couple of bar fights with long haired opponents using the leverage of their hair to steer them around.
Does that count for the hog too?
@@richardstaccone1927 then your a pussy if you can't win a fight without grabing someone's hair
@@JDJD-mw9rr social conditioning really worked well on you didn't it lol
JD JD, You may be right, so if you ever fight me get a short haircut first.
If not Royce but a pro wrestling muscular dude won the tournament don’t think UFC existed till today. Royce showed how skill can overcome physical strength and how martial arts is indeed a true art.
That was not skill. He literally was flailing around like a fish and pulling hair like a bitch. And this yall hero ok.
William Drumgoole ok
@@EllTorn He died
@@OfficiallyWill martial arts are for self defense in street fights, not scoring points you little pussy.
True besides the savagery of the early fights the fact that a 190 soaking wet with work boots that isn't cut could just lay on his back and beat these beast like men added to the appeal
Kimo: I don’t believe in ground and pound.
Royce: Thanks for not punching me in the fight.
One of the best UFC fights ever.
"Hes grabbing the hair thats perfectly legal" lol i almost freaking died
ALL GIRLS PULL HAIR WHEN THEY FIGHT LMFAO
Noel Carvajal lol the only reason
If i know hair pulling is legal im going bald with coconut oil rubbed on
By that time almost everything was legal in UFC. The only illegal was fingers into opponent's eyes and kicking his nuts. Everything else was legal
@@cesar0610 King the nuts was legally. Gracie actually kneed Kimo in the nuts a couple of times here.
Rewatching all these years later never realized kemo takes Royce back, Locks Hooks in, escapes mount, I’d say he had some Jiu jitsu
Luke Thomas every body start it learning bjj after UFC 1 so that’s why some people knew some moves
The announcer brought it up - apparently he had been training at a Gracie gym.
Those are also basic wrestling skills though
That’s only because he had a good 70 to 80lbs on Royce. It does not matter if the smaller guy is a black belt or not. If he’s fighting a guy in street fight who outweighs him by that much, he’s gonna struggle before he finishes him. It’s not gonna be a walk in the park
@@warmkaril1 no its judo armbar
Kimo held his own against inevitable defeat, he deserves our respect
Wasn't necessarily inevitable, if he supplexed him when he grabbed him from behind then he could'v won. Alas it was how it was, both Royce Gracie & Kimo went out like proper fighters.
MAYBY IF HE WASN'T ROIDED!!
@@dustin9367 Stop whining about roids. You know how many people take roids but are weak as hell, can't fight, have very little strength, so many. Roids don't give you this ability at all, no ability to fight. Some of you people just know nothing about athletics and roids. He wouldn't exactly be the same without roids, they are helping his strength, but he would still give royce a tough fight without them for sure. You don't even know he's on roids either. Go to a very very serious gym, and you'll see several guys not on roids bigger and stronger than Kimo here. He likely was on roids though, I can't say I would trust Kimo to make everything fair, but at the same time Royce is pulling hair, which is legal, but just the cheapest most BS move there is. I just wouldn't complain about this fight, that's all i'm saying.

Good question, mr1001nights. I just take this as just another one of many data points corroborating the fact that there are no gods, and that belief in them doesn't do anybody any good in the long run.
This is not totally conclusive, of course -- but I personally find the comparative track records of belief and nonbelief pretty convincing.
I'm not a christian, but I think that Christ wouldn't be interested in this kind of circus and have his name tattooed in some crazy ass guy's belly. Stupid fuckers like this only make their religion look bad.
Wow, Bobby Fischer, what an honour. I really like your chess wizardry. I thought you died in 2008. But seriously, I don't think a tatoo can make religions look any worse as they present themselves considering past atrocities and present scandals.

All these kids talking shit about Royce and the Gracie family are hilarious... back in the day Royce had to fight 3 or 4 guys in one single night to be the champion, no holds barred, no weight division... show some respect, ffs. Yes, the game evolved and Royce would get his ass kicked today but he planted the seed for all that shit you see now.
It's also easy to run thru people that think they know how to fight vs going thru say 3 or 4 Ken Shamrocks.
@Fluke I actually think he was over hyped and he wasn't pure jiujitsu like they claim. According to some of the announcers and other employees, the gracies rigged the ring. By that I mean tried to pick and choose who they fought, to boost their agenda.
I agree. Most of the Gracie family members are "still dangerous". It's just that MMA has evolved dramatically since the mid-1990s. The Gracies might not be able to beat "top-ranked MMA fighters", but that doesn't mean that they're anything to be taken lightly. In fact, many of the Gracies "train" the baddest MMA fighters on the planet, which makes these competitors as formidable as they are. Rener and Ryron Gracie "tap out" SWAT team members and Special Forces soldiers. The majority of guys who "think they're tough" wouldn't stand a chance against an unarmed SWAT officer or elite soldier, much less a typical Gracie family member.
Fluke this is true, and when Rorion lost control they got out.
Royce ended up completely on his last legs, completely exhausted, battered and bruised. But that armlock was the key.
“He’s allowed to do groin kicks”
“He’s grabbing his hair, that’s perfectly legal”
Lmaooo
It’s Vale Tudo. A Brazilian fight system which everything is allowed. It was made to simulate a street fight.

The man that locked me into this sport winning off your back was everything 🥊🇨🇦🇺🇸🌐😄
I remember watching this for the first time. In the 90's, the word jiujitsu was akin to various Aikido and Aiki jiujitsu styles that were standing in nature. And then there was Judo. No one had ever heard of Brazilian/Gracie jiujitsu and no one ever thought that Royce would win with his *Gracie Jiujitsu*. After all he wasnt a Karate or kung fu blackbelt. And that was the thing back then. It was a shock to me and everyone around me. This permanently changed accepted paradigms in human combat.
I had heard of many forms of jui jitsu even brazilian in the late 80s. It was not as uncommon as you think. Emperors jiu jitsu had ground fighting and ground submissions so did nin jitsu. BJJ Just focuses on it as the overall goal while limiting the kicking part of it.
This jui-jitsu which is the bastardized spelling of word "Jujutsu" (look at the meaning of the Japanese words) is Judo. In fact it is just the newaza component of Judo without any of the tachi-waza components. Judo newaza and Brazillian newaza are the same thing, using the same techniques the only thing that's different are the rules. In fact for me it's almost impossible to tell where traditional (Kosen) Judo ends and brazillian newaza starts. I do a jujutsu style that has a heavy nage waza focus and also newaza elements you know the armbars, leglocks, strangles and other osaekomi elements so I don't understand why you think this changed accepted paradigms in human combat especially when you consider the Gracies where beaten by a Japanese wrestler, granted one trained in judo techniques, but, still a wrestler.
I don't remember ever mentioning modern Judo - but seeing that you have - all that Judo has to to is change one rule to allow newaza to be primary form of attack and submission ala Kosen Judo allowed back in - reverse the stance or outlawed techniques to stop newaza (which are still taught in Judo classes that I've been involved in) and tada you have Japanese newaza that the same as Brazillian newaza using the same techniques with different names.
I've never seen omoplatas or even knee bars in Judo tournaments.
You will have to be more specific when you say armbar are you referring specifically to the juji gatame or some other form of armbar?
I think the Huzinga Roll could be classified as a "omoplata". And the Sankaku garami IS the omoplata.
Kimo lost because he wasted too much energy on carrying that CROSS to the Ring lol

+Isaac Bell OhhhhYea, one person agree with me :)

I actually just loled
OUT OF THE RING! OUT OF THE RING! OUT OF THE RING NOW!!!
hahaha my first thought when I saw him so young was nearly the same as this.
He beats a 80 pounds heavier guy through submission. I guess this is why basically every MMA fighter today knows at least some BJJ for "ground game".
The annoying part though is since everyone knows bjj now submission finishes are very hard to get
Whats 240-185? It's 55. Not 80
@@stefanvitali7616 I watched the video again and before they start the fight they say Kimo was 250 pounds not 240 and Royce was 176 pounds not 185. So it's 74 then.
It's rigged in ufc 1 there's a boxer with one glove against Royce the only reason why he had a glove is to well put padding on his hand because imagine getting punched in the face by let's say tyson you'll get knock out in one punch therefore it's was rigged
@@vs_nasty1305 It was rigged because the boxer had one glove? There were several fighters who went without gloves and also he probably did it because that is how he was trained.
I would to see UFC have a return of this fighting format, come as you are and see if you got what it takes! Definitely would sale!
Meus Deus! E simplesmente sensacional!
1:48 This is why aliens wont contact us

Back when they allowed head butts, pulling hair, groin shots, and from the looks of Kimo, PEDs. On top of that, no gloves. This looks much more like a street fight than anything I've ever seen. Great fight. Thanks for posting.
I agree. They could have moved even closer to a street fight if "street type" clothing was required. Topless fighting isn't natural as most people out there wear clothes.
@Grant Smith Literally everyone back then was on peds
Dont need to. Everyone knows that people back then used peds because they weren't ever caught
@Grant Smith possibly
Weak ass fucking fight casual
Just come here from baki new season, the author truly big fan of this era
Royce foi o melhor lutador do mundo
That ref has his shit together and has total control of the situation great work
Its very easy to have total control of the situation when there are like 5 rules and one of them is not to bring a ak47 to the fight
"that ref"
"Big" John McArthy, you mean.
@@hamdiatasoy2456 Big John back in the day.🙏👊
Matt Burns you must be new here lol
5% bodyfat? That's what professional body builders have when they step on stage! This guy has at least 18%.
Id say
10-12%
No, with 10% you have a totaly defined sixpack and veins all over. This guy doesn't even have visible abs.
ripppking i'd make it 18 or more. when u have as much muscle as kimo u have to have a significant layer of fat to not show any ab definition.
not necessary. check boyer coe, how much ab definition did he have? 0
Ro man 18 is to much maybe 14 the highest google what the percentages look like
Que buenos tiempos, excelentes peleadores!!!
Imagine in today’s ufc hearing “He’s holding onto the hair, that’s perfectly legal”.
7:36 " ... he is grabbing the hair, that is perfectly legal" lolol
Fuck that. The oponent of gracie is just having a clean fight. Gracie dirty fighter. Even the referee is on gracies side.
@@inspiredwork-in-progress2595 grabbing hair was legal you melon
@Living Dead Guy dude see weight difference please try fighting a guy twice ur size once
@Living Dead Guy Yes, no rules, no weight classes. It's a bitch move to pit someone who's 240 LBS against someone who's 170 LBS. If there's no rules, anything goes. If you want "bitch moves banned," you should watch something that has more rules in it.
@Living Dead Guy Bro idk why you keep plugging up my TH-cam feed, my point was is that you seem to be criticising "a bitch move" in a "bitch game." As I said it's a bitch move to pit someone who's like 30 kg heavier than you against you. That's a bitch move. You have so much more mass and leverage that it's not really fair.
What a great time for MMA fans.
I was 18 and i had to drive to my cable company and rent a cable box for 1 day so i could order this ppv.
I had a room full of people watching this event everyone was on the edge of their seat.
That's awesome. I watched this on VHS as a kid at a friend's house. I was hooked on MMA after that.
I remember being in the Navy and word getting around about This "Hoyce Gracie" guy. So I bought the fight for the barracks and learned his name is spelled with an R and that he was not the biggest guy in the world. Him and Oleg Taktarov were the best little guys in the sport.
Same here, saw it live with a friend named Shane in Waco Texas. That was a crazy year for me but good times.
spiderman< the weirdest fighers was back in the days... jesus christ figher hahahaahahahahha
OMG, didn't you know anyone that was selling de-scrambler boxes?
2023 aqui ,esse foi o melhor! Alugava em Vhs pra assistir com o meu pai.
This was the truest to combat sport...wow wish they would go back to this
This was no doubt the best era of UFC. I only have access to this via vhs tapes. Good old times
Ah yes the good old days of watching ufc on vhs
Why not get UFC fight pass? Very cheap and you can watch all the old tapes on demand
@@Gorrgrim Good call!!!
4:25 my favorite punch of all times
I actually expected to see a punch land when I clicked on that
@@patbateman69420 what do you call it? A squat uppercut maybe?
😂😂
that's exactly where I stopped watching
Man, no jokes, if that shit lands... A guy who lifts with that same tecnique, I don't know, man. That shit gotta hurt, lol.
Legend has it that Leopoldo went straight to the barber shop immediately after this fight and got a haircut.
Uma das lutas máis lindas que ja vi e confirmo jiujits é a melhor arte marcial que existe !🫸
Roids, hair pulling, doors opening, Gi's- raunchy as hell!
gracie was such a cheesy fighter puaj
@@misterasterisco5217 that first punch he thruw looked like it was in slow motion must of been the slowest punch in history.....
And Gary Busey.
@@fireball8767 Lmao ikr, shit took a full second to become fully extended 🤣
@@RicegumRicebum he had time to have his dinner
No rules and multiple fights in one night, no time limits, wearing a Gi
This was incredible at the time. MMA has developed incredibly since then, but Gracie was the guy who opened everyone’s eyes and made it happen
there were rules and they were rules that greatly helped royce gracie, though he is still one of the greatest fighters ever.. rules like no eye gouges and no biting.. literally the most effective tools against grappling. lol.
whatever us ay promo account. your boy Gracie got rag rolled
@@Dualitiesdude. Kimo was almost 80 lbs heavier than him. The fact he agreed to do it is insane. Most people would get tossed around fighting someone 70 lbs heavier. Gracie did amazing still, despite the weight difference
It's crazy to see the humble beginning of the UFC . Noone knew anything about BJJ and couldn't believe the way little Royce Gracie was able to tap this big dudes.
Incredibile tecnica di bloccaggio bravissimo sig.gracie ciao auguri Mario da Gorizia.italia.
5 percent bodyfat maybe 17 is generous
Hell Yeah..looks like 20%
@@dhruvishkapadia350820% is a little high. He is certainly closer to 20% than 5% though. I would put him around 15%.
James Reese 5% can be fatal wtf
15% body fat with ROIDS. LOL
@@Poseidon_43 what? 4% body fat Lex Luger would disagree.
Gracie was the first guy I saw beat guys who were way bigger than he was. He also wore the traditional gi, which I always liked for some reason.
He used the gi to choke
Legend has it Kimo is still carrying that cross to this day
given that Kimo did not know any ground fighting at this point, he put up an amazing performance
If you listened at the end, kimo DID trained in gracie bjj but not obviously at Royces level
I had the honor of attending a seminar taught by Gracie, he is incredible, the session was 2 hours long and he broke the techniques down step by step, then put it all together, he is actually tall, 6'2.
Are you talking about Rorion maybe? I met Royce years ago and was eye to eye with him and I'm 5'11.
No weight classes and hardly any rules.
This seems a lot more entertaining than now
That's what actual martial arts street fight would look like.
But now we have better fighter and not powered with steroid
Royce Gracie. Legend.
Back when it was actual ultimate fighting. You could pull hair and everything even wear a gi...Gracie was awesome Kimo did a great job too. I really love these old fights. I remember these on TV as a kid when they first started showing them.
