Yeah, that was an awesome match. Kazushi Sakuraba is his name, it was Gracies second match in about 5 years, it's been argued that Gracie's past his prime.

Still, Sakuraba is a great an dynamic fighter...

We're talking real fighting here, not dodgy World Champ Wrestling or whatever the hell it's called

Have any of you guys seen something called "Pride Fighting" or similar on Satellite Pay Per View? That shit is almost better than UFC. Check it out if you can.

I'd like to see Bruce Lee in the Octogon. That guy would get his skinny ass royally KICKED

Forgive my ignorance if I missed some amazing Gracie battle but in all of his fights that I saw I wouldn't quite call him an ass kicker. He's a great submission wrestler and can break joints and all that but when I think of ass kicking I think of someone bleeding and being physically dominated. Gracie uses his guard and minimal energy to win, he's a scientific fighter. I personally think that perhaps more aggressive types make for better TV but Gracies record speaks for itself.

A arguement can definitely be made for Royce being past his prime in NHB. He lost is sport Jiujitsu to Wallid Ismial a few years ago, and could do a thing against Sakuraba in Pride. Even though the Gracie camp essentially set the rules for that fight.

With the current crop of NHB fighters outthere I think quite a few of them could beat Royce.

Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Gracie fan. He is the guy that got me interested in this stuff.

Milhouse - Is that Bastion Booger in your Avatar? Ah the "glory" days of the WWF....

you guys are a little behind

royce was the king 8 years ago. sakuraba, a japanese guy, beat royce, renzo, and royler in pride. silva beat sak. silva is the man right now. in the heavyweights, igor is the man. he fought in the pride thats on directtv so i dont want to say what happens. pride is a hardcore sport though.

I started fighting for the Gracies in "94" and I will agree with most of the posts here, I think Royce Gracie's best days are behind him. As for the other losses posted here by Immortal juicer about Royces losses......true.......true.......but I guarantee you will NEVER see RICKSON Gracie post a loss!!!!!!

Do NOT confuse Ricksons Jui Jitsu with his brother Royces fighting.
Rickson is "JACKED" and ripped, and MEAN!!!
