Here is the long lost footage of one of Lloyd "The King of leglocks" Irvin's Mixed Martial Arts fights. This was a time when people chanted "Jiu-Jitsu, Jiu-Jitsu, Jiu-Jitsu" after Jiu-Jitsu fighter won a fight. This was also a time when The King of Leglocks was tapping people out with Leglocks in MMA, over a decade ago. Now, a decade later his students are doing the same thing. This is vintage. The year was 1997.. Lloyd is only a blue belt. Lloyd believed he was Royce Gracie at the time, as you will see.

  • Leglocks are more utilized in Sambo training and/or competitions, not more so Jujitsu/BJJ. But grappling is grappling! Great video!

  • Great way to avoid a superior striker, BJJ. Lloyd did take several rabbit puches to the face in the first takedown attempt, but no real danger. In a street fight, eye poking, ball smashing and biting pretty much eliminates the grapple game, however. I love to see a submission, but a lot of these grappling fights are pretty dull to a spectator, even though it is very skilled. It methodical nature makes for a very predictable chain of events...take down-pass guard-mount-submit. Watch Akiyama!

  • Im glad jiu jitsu took itself up to a recognised fighting sport!! JIU JIT-SU, JIU JIT-SU, JIU JIT-SU!!

  • @lloydirvin - Fair enough, sir. I didn't lose any respect for you, just an observation. Thanks for the background.

  • awesome video. I thought it was Royce in their for a minute!!! :)

    it looked like his opponent did know something and tried to reclaim guard but god knows what he was trying to do with the head lock. the guy didn't touch Master Lloyds face once?

  • @101AVERAGEJOE Leo Dalla. sick black belt.
