Would Mighty Mouse win UFC 1 tournament?

[kurtwpg]

Good point well made, but wasn't the Royce = 170pound a bit vague/unproven.

The number normally quoted was 175 but it appears we are rounding down now to support a point.

 

[anthony stark]

Nice catch. It is unrelated to what you are thinking. That took me a second though.

care to explain some more. i think you're on to something

 

[CrimsonFan]

Could he take a headkick from TJ Dillashaw?

... I don't fuckin know man lol. I'm sure if TJ landed perfect he could knock out just about anyone on the planet with a headkick. Doesn't mean Royce would just be there to eat it. He's also 6 feet tall, so Royce would have to be pretty bad to walk into that.

Barao and Soto are like 5'7.....

I question both amounts.

 

[kurtwpg]

Ronda would also lose horribly.
Aldo could be fun

Aldo would wreck shop.

 

[TJ177]

Even if he couldn't get him down right away.. how the fuck does Mighty Mouse win? There's not a time limit. Royce could actually take a pretty good punch from guys way bigger than Mighty Mouse. Wtf? You think he submits him or something......

I swear you guys are stupid as fuck sometimes

I honestly can not see any set of circumstances where Royce even takes MM down, let alone taps him. At worst it would be like the Saku fight, where eventually Royce gives up.

It's not a knock on Royce. The game has just changed so much.

 

[Jokeri]

I'd pay to see MM against the sumo dude.

Yeah, Royce would already be KTFO from punches so he probably wouldn't be there lol

 

[STRAWBOSS]

MM's too teeny tiny. What will he do, run around the cage in order to avoid getting squashed?

Seriously, I just don't see how he could mount an offense.

 

[waldywaldy]

Yeah because Royce has a history of getting KTFO and MM is a regular KO machine.

So now you're saying a prime Kazushi Sakuraba would lose to MM too?


FFS man.. I'm done here. That's so fucking stupid I can't even argue against it. Go watchSaku fight Igor, or Vitor. Dude the game hasn't evolved that much at all, and Royce could hang

 

[Steveston]

I don't think he would be able to get past Ken Shamrock this is the same man that defeated Bas Rutten!

I'm not commenting on Saku vs MM. I'm saying that when Gracie couldn't take someone down he had zero offense and zero gameplan.

 

[shotgun charlie]

With out a doubt yes. Unless he maybe go the sumo. Ken shamrock would have been his hardest test. Royce wouldn't have the strength to shut him down.

Even Wand had trouble grappling with Sakuraba.. how does that prove a guy who makes 125 can beat Royce? Or Shamrock.. or half the people that fought that night

 

[Anialater]

MM would lose to shamrock. Rousey? Seriously?

 

[Irenaeus]

Cain would DESTROY the UFC 1 tourn. So would many,many others. DESTROY that era like a joke.

What a controversial opinion.

 

[aRtFuL]

Any of the current crop of top 10s in any weight division in UFC would prolly have a good chance to win UFC 1 - the skill and training development is just so much further advanced compare to those days.

When the skill and fitness gap is that big I don't think the weight advantage is going to make up for it.

 

[nostradumbass]

MM could probably beat Royce but I think Gerard Gordeau would knock him out. Ken would also beat him. Royce was at least big enough to use his technique without getting completely overpowered but MM isn't.

 

[kurtwpg]

BJJ guys are shit against people who are trained to defend takedowns.
