There was speculation within the Gracie family wheather or no to invite Gokor to partake in UFC 1....They never contacted him...And the reason why is because he would've beaten Royce.
Trained with Gokor at his studio in Hollywood. Put me in several ankle locks faster than I could blink. He's beaten the best from Gracie's to world champion's. He took this fight with Mr.Maeda with 2 weeks notice and didn't train for it once.
Nobody can beat this guy on the ground not even today.
Gene Lebelle challenged Rickson Gracie to fight Gokor in a fight but turned it down saying "He doesn't fight the way we do".
Well Gokor knows a lot more that's whe he turned the fight down.
Perfection is unattainable, but if you chase perfection, you will catch excellence
- Vince Lombardi
My Sensei introduced me to this quote (attitude), and Gokor exemplifies it! I had the pleasure of attending a small clinic with him years ago, he has been an inspiration to me since.
Simply put, Gokor and Rickson are both phenomenal. Sambo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are both amazing arts. No they didn't fight each other but who cares, does it matter.
@PeLudO17 You are a fucking idiot. What do you know about ground game. Gokor won hundreds of fights and never lost. But he has a horrible ground game? Your a dumbass.
The Gracies are always competing in grappling tournaments and mix martial arts events. They take fighters from scratch and create champions. No one is dodging Gokor. Has Gokor ever fought Sakuraba, Ken Shamrock, or Tank? Has he or his students made it to Abu Dhabi? My point is that Gokor and the Gracies are legends, so please quit with the gossip and lets just be men and enjoy this beautiful art?
@sumoshinobi ur saying gokor isnt...?? he has better credentials then fedor. combined over 400 NHB(no holds barred) sambo, and judo professional fights and not a single loss...world sambo champion, world judo champion mutliple times.olympic gold metalist. NHB champion of the world. ...beat maeda who at the time was judo world champion and muay thai world champion
@sumoshinobi no its not bullshit i said 400 nhb sambo, and jdo. its all together not just NHB. idiot. why do u think i said them all together. and then mentioned he didnt lose.
@vespaman101 hes had 1 mma fight and this was it,wrestling ,judo and sambo are not fights,they are grappling sports.Many grapplers would have way more than 400 matches in there careers from elementary school through to college and senior international.
@vespaman101 where do 1 start?Gokor may have won something in sambo,possibly a world title but theres very few countries doing it.Definitely he never won any international comp in judo and surely wasnt a world or olympic champ in judo.There no such thing as world nhb champ.ufc champ would be the closest to it.Maeda was nobody in judo or thai either then or ever.Gokor is excellent grappler though.
Before UFC started the Gracies challenged Benny Urquidez to fight Royce Gracie, then backed out of there own challenge when they found out he trained with Gokor under Gene Lebell. The Gracies were scared shitless of this guy
@BroomeBlocker3 heck yeah gokor was the shit. he trained my sensei. my sensei used to be in his classes. i havent gotten to meet gokor yet but he is having a seminar soon i think. i might go idk i need to join the academy again.
@BroomeBlocker3 actually Rorian beat Benny and then Benny wanted to fight again under his rules, so Benny got tapped by the Gracies already, Gokor had the UFC and Extreme Fighting to do if he wanted, instead he chose to ref Extreme Fighting and how many of his students do shit compared to the Gracies?>>>
What is everybody talking about? How do they know that the Gracies wouldn't invite Gokor to UFC. I'm confused because the Gracies challenge everyone. They may not always win, but they seem to always put together great fights like Shamrock, Tank, Sakuraba, Bravo etc. I don't know why everyone keep hating on the Gracies. Why spread false rumors?
If I'm wrong please correct me because as of right now I like the Gracies because they made UFC what it is today.
@130kali what are you talking bout I'm defending the Gracies you got your people mixed up. the Gracie's actually did invite Gokor and he declined, reffed extreme fighting instead, benny got choked out by rorion on the gracie in action vhs
Dude I'm not dissing you. I'm just affirming what you're saying. Next time I will make things much clearer. You and I both know that the Gracies may not be undefeated, but they're not any punks either. Much respect to everyone.
@130kali There have been documented rumors, so much so that wikipedia even cites them, that the Gracies backed out of a challenge once they found out a student was trained by Gokor and LeBell. As far as I know the Gracies haven't squashed the rumor. But since none of these fights happened, its just rumors and speculation. I just wish some of these martial artists would be more respectful of each other, and not try to step on each other's necks and spit on each other after fights, not to name who
@130kali Probably because the Gracies overhype every fight, everyone has a huge weight advantage even when you can clearly see the Gracie fighter is bigger than he is, just look at the fight with Helio/Kimura. The Gracies made up a rumor that Helio said if it went past the 3rd minute he would consider it a win for them, Helio brought a coffin to the mat for Kimura even though he says he didn't expect to win, he was unconscious at the 3 minute mark, he admitted this after Kimura's death...
@BroomeBlocker3 what are you talking about, rorion faced benny and choked him out, benny even had his face blacked out of the fight which is on the gracies in action
