[le9elawi]

royce is a great person and fighter..he's the one who teach the world how really fighting is. even if he lost oesn't mean he's not worthy.he lost to matt becaus he was coky..this is the mistake..when he was beating everybody he was afraid of loosing..he was fighting with he's heart, but now he lost that caus he already become the hall of famers..

When I first heard about UFC there was Shamrock and Ortiz. Two big guys beating the crap out of each other. I am tall and lanky. When I rented the first UFC I saw this Royce Gracie who was also tall and lanky... beat the crap out of everyone! He has a lot of courage and will always be one of my favorite fighters to watch.

@crocop0514

have you trained ? you should find an affordable school somewhere near by.

[Chevalier765]

When you see Royce and that you don't know him, You can not know imagine he is a great fighter. Very nice person.

[xicarus92x]

cool guy, truly a mma great

[DCSlim80]

He show's a lot of respect to Helio and Jiu-Jitsu as a whole. I respect that, and he's Royce Gracie, he won UFC when there was no time limit or weight class. In my eyes, he is the best fighter there was.........and still so humble.

[MrTetsubishi]

this remarkable man remind me of muhammad ali, there's omething genuine and deep in eyes

[1992lance]

@MrTetsubishi what about royce then vs rashad evans now?

[MrTetsubishi]

@1992lance rashad evans might be a strong and skilled fighter, but he fights with no honor, with no grace, royce gracie fights the way a real worrior shoud fight, he fights with out fighting, he neutralise the opponent with out excess of brutality, while fighting he rimains calm and still, anger, rage, disappointment, or even excitement does not touch him, when he wins, he does not engage in a cocky show off, because he knows pride comes before the fall.

[1992lance]

@MrTetsubishi but rashad's too advanced; he knows wrestling, oxing muay thai, AND BJJ! yeah gracie's 10x a better person than rashad, but id have to pick rashad. but what about royce vs rampage or fedor?

[1992lance]

@MrTetsubishi look fyi, i'd be a royce fan if i watched ufc in the early days and i still like him. but the fighters now are too advanced. he's still a legend though.

[1992lance]

@1992lance since boxer bernard hopkins was a dumbass enough to call mma a faggot sport, how quickly would royce destroy bernard in royce's world?! haha

[noose357]

@MrTetsubishi Royce is skilled but I would hardly call him a warrior who fights with honor and stifles his emotions. He competed to show off GJJ. In his fight with Gerard Gordeau, Royce became angered and held his rear naked choke on Gordeau long after the ref called it. He admitted this. Royce is cocky and is incapable of accepting loss with sportsmanship like a real warrior should. Royce will refuse to tap which does not make him a warrior. It makes him a stubborn man who can't admit defeat.

[jdmitchell2]

@noose357

That was because Mr. Gordeau cheated as well. I'm not saying it was justified, just understandable .

[noose357]

@jdmitchell2 Yes, understandable. Being bitten is not cool. But that said, Royce should've acted more maturely. I'm not denying his skills by any means, but I just don't think he's the amazing guy that most people make him out to be. I know it sounds corny and like a cliche but Bruce Lee is as close to the warrior mindset that you can get. I don't think anyone had or has had it 100 % but Bruce definitely came the closest in my opinion.

[jdmitchell2]

@noose357

I would agree that it could've been handled better. What would I do? I don't know.

[masondarko]

Dark blue belt, that's new.

[wencesbahena]

legend my ass.

[Abe9096]

Emirates Jiu Jitsu. Thanks for sharing.

I'm Arab myself and I think it's great to see Royce, Renzo, and the other Gracies visiting Arab countries and doing seminars.
