Apparently Royce committed an illegal groin kick at one point.

So, what happened? Yoshida was expecting to fight an opponent with the gi and Royce didn't wear the top. Was it supposed to be 'no strikes' or did Royce decide to change the rules at the last sec?

How did Royce take Yoshida down and get his back? I didn't think there was any way he could do that. It looked like Yoshida almost got mata-leo'd.

Anyone know what the rules were? Anyone see the fight or match or whatever it was?
skinny royce? he weighed in at nearly 90 kilograms.
it was mma rules not grapping and yes royce did groin kick him a ripper, here is a link for the groin kick preview
