"Ain't none 175 pounds Karate guy is gonna choke me" Ken, please meet Royce Gracie, JIU JITSU Master. Incredible! Shamrock didn't even know who or what he was fighting against. That's not a winning omen! Never.

@puffykilled2pac Your not talking about the 35 minute fight where shamrock outweighed royce by over 40 pounds and just layed on him the whole time till it was reset for overtime an shamrock managed to land one good punch and it ended in a DRAW are you? Going for one of your best moves and LOSING in less then a minute to "175lb karate guy" seems more embarrassing.

Royce's lack of confidence is evidenced by his rematch with Sakuraba. He enters the ring with steroid conditioning. And without his gi.

[Lordofthenipplerings]

@USPSAman No, the gi has plenty of disadvantages. Many throws and takedowns require that the opponent to be gripped by his own gi and then thrown to the floor. Yoshida even uses Royce's own gi to choke him to submission. If the gi was so advantageous, Shamrock wouldnt have entered the fight wearing only speedos. Royce fights with the gi because he is confident in his Juijitsu. He is inviting his opponent to take advantage of him. Lets not forget, Shamrock also abuses steroids.

[USPSAman]

@Lordofthenipplerings Royce used the Gi as a weapon to give him an unfair advantage. Its funny In japan ken wore shoes all the time when fighing so he could get better footing however the gracie's wouldnt let him wear them in the UFC fights because they said it is like bringing a weapon in the ring but Royce can use his Gi to restrain and submit his opponet. That's BS

[Lordofthenipplerings]

@USPSAman Nah. Thats just proper technique. There are advantages and disadvantages in wearing a gi. Not wearing gi allows the grappler to move more freely as he is more difficult grab. However Royce felt comfortable with his Jujitsu. Thus his gi is an invitation to his opponent.

[USPSAman]

@Lordofthenipplerings if you watch from 2:12 to 2:15 you can see ken's right arm is caught in gracie's gi. he had trapped ken's arm in there and that is why he was able to transition so easy when ken rolled back for the ankle lock. He also used his gi in many other fights. Kinda cheap in my opinion. Knowing this Ken had to avoid the gi in their second fight and didnt take any risks.

GOLDEN AGE FOR SUPER FIGHTERS .... HOPE SOME NEW FACES SHOWS UP SOON

[Lordofthenipplerings]

Ken was scared. He was afraid of getting reversed like he did in the first fight. So he took dominance in the rematch and just being very non-committal. It worked very well. Had the rules been different. He would have won that fight on points due to all the headbutts, small punches, and having the mount position. But the rules back then were win or nothing. There are no points. So it was a draw.

Damn the UFC sucks now! It was so much cooler when it was underground, Before the Bros fucked it up.

[TechniqueIsBorn]

Man this is lammmme! lol Royce is still trying to say that all of his first UFC fights werent worked fights? Royce Gracie told me personally that all of his first UFC fights were worked fights so if you believe in anything a "Gracie" says it will only make you look stupid.

[umx4]
