Royce Gracie might wear a Gi during the fight.

[mkt]

If he does get to where a gi, Then shamrock better be allowed the grab onto it too. The rules generally say you can grab your own trunks, but not your opponents. So if that rule stays true and he gets to wear a gi with it, it's an insane advantage for Gracie.

That's true. Not sure how they'll deal with that. The "no grabbing trunks rule" wasn't in effect in the early UFCs. You could grab clothing, hair, the cage and most everything else. Royce didn't wear a gi vs. Hughes, so I'm not sure if modern MMA/unified rules ever faced this.

It's not cheating, it's called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Don't post if you are gonna sound like a clown.

So Royce can use his gi for chokes but Ken can't use it for leverage or throwing Royce around? How is that fair?

Sexyama was choking fools out with the judo gi n DREAM in 2008.

And I remember packing my judo GI into my luggage one time,and it weighed 6kg. It was like wearing a fucking carpet though, really thick and heavy. Gis aren't pyjamas.

I hope Shamrock KTFOs Gracie.

 

[King.]

Then shammy should be allowed to wear his pancrase boots. Or at least wrestling shoes! Fuck it lets just go bare knuckle as well. Bring back rich goins as well!

 

[HAWTakayama]

I sure fucking hope so.

Royce should wear a gi and Ken should wear red speedos. It's the only attire that makes sense.

the red speedo market has been cornered by one man...

I would assume if he wears the Gi Ken can use it too to throw him around.

I'd done a fair amount of Gi vs no gi, and I don't think the Gi chokes give me enough advantage against all the extra places my opponents have to grab and slow me down if they are not wearing one.

I prefer both Gi's or both No Gis personally.

If Royce does where his Gi.....I SERIOUSLY will throw my boot threw my television is Royce tries choking Ken out with some cheap ass Gi assisted choke. Like the one that Yoshida did to someone where he had top position, one arm behind the guys neck, then one arm straight across on top, then he grabbed each cuff of his Gi and the dude couldn't breathe. Now if that isn't cheating, I don't know what is.........What if he takes one arm completely out of the sleeve and raps it around Ken's neck? Fair?

The sight of Ken hockey-fight style clobbering Royce I'd quite fancy, but either way I don't care all that much. Still will watch after I get home from work, but not of much importance.

 

[Luger]

Ken himself said that he was hoping for a gi.

The Texas State athletic commission offers a lot of freedom. That's good. They'd probably allow PRIDE rules if persuaded. A true free state. It's cool Texas would allow certain rule modifications. That sure beats the long ass trip to Japan or another asian country for that type of freedom.

 

[Thrawn33]

It's not cheating, it's called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Or Judo (since he cited Yoshida as an example), but yes in Royce's case it is BJJ.

Royce is senile and acts fake tough. He has always had special rules made for him whenever he fights once every 5 years. Shammy is going to make him eat strawberries in the Belator cage tonight. Expect Royler to throw in the towel.
