REVEALED: How Royce Gracie won UFC1

Could you post some of those black and gay jokes?
 
Ken Shamrock and anyone else who knew the leg lock game could have taken advantage of that gi. Guys like Gary Tonon only grapple in shorts because of the risks of having any friction down there. There are both pros and cons to fighting with a gi. Was it an advantage? Yeah. A big one? No. His advantage was being the only guy who knew jiu jitsu. Let's face it. The entire event was catered to him winning it. He was meant to dominate. You think it was all because of his magical gi that his family set up UFC 1 for him to win it and showcase Gracie BJJ to the world? Nah.

Totally royces fault that all the other guys had been practicing their respective disciplines their whole life and NOT bjj.

You sound like a moron.

It's nobody's fault that those guys didn't know bjj but themselves.

It wasn't "catered" to royce to give him an easy win.

If they wanted all the other opponents to know jits, they would have, they would have had all the gracies face themselves, and it'd have been called the UFBJJC.

But they didnt, because it wasnt.

It was a contest to see which martial art was the most effective - read: finding people from all different types of martial arts and pitting them against each other.

And bjj came out on top.

"But but but but everyone knows bjj now, plus they know other arts, so the TRICKERY DOESN'T WORK"

Too bad if we went back in time, and let all royces opponents learn bjj and in turn let royce learn all the arts his opponents knew, the outcome would remain the same with royce dominating.

But in a real street fight you would not be wearing a Gi, most clothes do not have thick lapels to grab.

Rather amusing thread - but as some people actually say this in seriousness...I'm surrounded by the Gi all day long...never seriously considered choking someone obviously but just saying, it's there

The BJJ guys staged the contest, because they knew he would come out on top. The Gracies didn't send out Rickson or Rolles or Renzo or Royler. But weak, unintimidating Royce, just to show the world the dominace of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. That's how confident they were they would win. Why would they set-up a tournament to showcase BJJ getting smashed. I think it's you who is the moron.

Exactly. You can't contradict anything I said. But I will contradict you.

Totally staged by sending out weak royce against huge dudes with skills in other arts.

Why would they want to showcase bjj getting smashed? So why did they send out weak royce?

You are going against your own logic in less than 10 words.

Casual.

What?
 
I mean in a real fight most people wear clothes.

Nogi really shines when you're flexin on the beach

Not when the OP fights. His secret to success is to strip off all his clothes (including underwear) before the fight starts. Not surprisingly he has a perfect street fighting record. Well technically he did lose one fight but that ended up taking a turn towards the romantic so it doesn't count.

Royce had the heart of a goddamn lion...
 
TS complains about a gi being hot - but would rather people train in a damn parka???

I am a jiu jitsu guy and have long said that clothing can be used effectively against people in street fights, however with all the street fight videos out there, u see jiu jitsu being used, but no lapel chokes or stuff of that sort.
 
Royce Gracie won UFC1 because he had a secret weapon...

The Gi

The Gi is infact a weapon and he should not have been allowed to wear it.

But in a real street fight you would not be wearing a Gi, most clothes do not have thick lapels to grab.

Therefore training in a Gi is useless and just for weak people who want to find a way to beat you in a physical contest even though they are mostly beta types.

Technically it is cheating.

No Gi is clearly the way forward as it can be used in any situation.

I trained at Gracie Barra for a time and it was like being in a real life sitcom of the "Renato Laranja Show"

The instructor made nothing but jokes about gay people and being black. Sometimes he combined the two and brought the house down.

The Gi is cheating and encourages homophobia and racism in all who wear it. Plus the Gi is super hot and nasty to wear - i am surprised no one has invented a godamn zip up jacket so that it does not keep coming undone and the belt falling off.

Here is my idea for a jacket with loops that would keep the belt in place which i think would solve this problem. The jacket is by Fendi but as you can see it even has a clasp which would keep the belt even more secure and a zip to stop the jacket from coming undone.

What a horrible thread and is so not true because I walk around in my gi, I go to the store, church, work, shower in it, and have a hole in it for when I have sex.
Does it have a hole to poop through also?
