Not once, but twice.

Cmon!
I'll give him this. Gracie revolutionized full contact fighting.
This was clearly a Gracie advert, and his opponent was nothing more than a practice dummy.
Neither put in any effort at any point, and it's clearly a demonstration/advert for his system.
Can't wait for his upcoming match!

Fluffy could beat 'em both...afterall he is the destroyer of worlds...

Hughes will pummel him!

Gracie's time has come and gone - Hughes will PWN him

Im thinking about joining some Jiu-Jitsu classes...I was in Judo for 2 years when I was 14-16 and I remember I got in a fight once where I was starting to get my *** kicked, but once the fight hit the floor the dude had no chance. Id much rather learn Judo or Jiu-Jitsu instead of other forms of martial arts. Jeet kun do (what bruce lee invented) is kinda cool too.

Anyway, the gracie's clearly own, and always will.

(and I agree that his opponent in this was garbage, but he'd probably punish a real opponent just as bad)

Try this then.

ok, that one's sick...

I think Hughes will have a much tougher shot than people anticipate. I don't think it's absurd to think Gracie can win this fight. Guys like Shamrock, Severn, etc...these are very strong dudes.

DO IT!

I just started Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu two weeks ago. It's the most fun workout I've ever done. I've gone to four classes, and even though I'd say I only really know one offensive move, I love it. After just four sessions, I've been able to tighten my belt an extra hole. It's a great workout, and you'll learn how to kick someone's ***.

I REPEAT - DO IT!

If Royce Gracie actually beats Matt Hughes I will go out and join a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class immediately.

Is that what the specific Gracie school is called? Are they located everywhere?

GB is a series of affiliate schools. See the link below.

and I get the sense some people don't grasp just how good and technical and damn tough Royce is. I know Hughes is an animal, but don't underestimate him.

That said, everyone see what my man Frank Shamrock did to Cesar Gracie?

when is this fight ...tonight?

oh and ty for the link

Gracie/Hughes is a month from now.

I just watched Fedor vs Crocop for the Pride heavyweight championship. That fight was ****ing phenominal.

That was pretty sick! That was one tough mofo Gracie had a fully foured head (not even a triangle), and the guy was still fighting. Kinda like the way a mouse fights a python.
This is a long time gone now, but I'm really pissed that the fight was called with less than 30 seconds left. Gracie was getting rocked, but I don't think he was discouraged. Originally I argued that the new rules (rounds, limited time, no guy) would be the only obstacle for Gracie to overcome. I do think that every second that Gracie is in the ring is one that could potentially spell victory for him.
Ultimately Gracie did give up his back. Wich is both surprising and sad. The fight was called by Mcarthy because he wasnt defending himself. At the point of the call however I feel it was impossible for him to defend himself in his position. Not incapable of defending himself. Woulda loved another round in that fight. The headliner fight was dog piss!

Umm..okay..so basically..kung fu is useless?
