Royce to fight in Pride 14

[Robin Hood]

I just read on the news site that Royce is fighting an unnamed Japanese Kickboxer in Pride14. Does anyone know who he is? They said he fought in a k1 event a while back.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I hope that he doesn't hold out to try to get his bs rules again. I'd be surprised if PRIDE lets him have those stinky rules again. If he wants to play by the rules he should, otherwise he should just stay home.

[Bau13]

Oh no...Royce is fighting Satake??

[sakattack]

Amen on the rules Mr. Miyagi. Their rules or nothing. Royce is living in the past.

[paradigm]

If Royce should go,
then thou must know,
that pride is not for him.
Has he thus not learned,
thy tables not turned,
and his future sure looks dim.

[Martial Artist]

If Royce is fighting a kick-boxer Royce will easily just like he did in the UFC.

[Lacrymosa]

"Royce" is to striker; as "none" is to number.
Choked to submission, a striker will slumber.
Shame that it is, he'd rematch Takada.
Beat groundless foes, but not Sakuraba.
Cheer and rejoice, disciples of Rickson.
Onward now! Dancer and Prancer and Vixen!
Santa Claus: fiction. The Gracie accepted.
"Royce undefeated" the truth still neglected.

[Mako]

Royce to continue, with Pride as the venue,
we watch with horrified gaze.

With each new foe, his legend will grow,
as he seeks to relive glory days.

No need to worry, or even to fret, for when the fight nearly has drawn, from retirement he'll appear, Ron Van Klief full of fear, to hear the ref shout...

LET'S GET IT ON!

[paradigm]

Thine eyes have seen,
that Royce's bean,
hath been knocked around, too many times;
Thy big brother Rickson,
whom we call a Chicken,
would rather recieve nickels and dimes.
His cousins all look,
like bait on thy hook,
when fighting the Japanese champ;
If thine Ryan can't fight,
thy tussle with might,
there'll be fear in thy Gracie camp.

If thou wilt listen,
to thine own wisdom,
thou shalt see that thou art done;
to practice ones art,
with all of thine heart,
just to lose to thy dominant one.

[Karlinhos]

lac, you're a freak! good work.

[Martial Artist]

Royce will fight.
He will win again.
One more win.
Nothing new.
If he fights Igor.
Rorion will make the sell.
And Igor,beat Royce like hell.

[Martial Artist]

Ryan will lose,
Rickson must choose,
With Sak,Rickson will play.
It wont be,the Japs best day.
Royce wants the spotlite.
Now he must fight.
He wants the crown,
Rickson now has.
Rickson retires.
It's long overdue.
Rickson has proved,
He is the best.
He took out Sak.
With one,mighty whack!
Now you have seen.
Rickson is for real.
He took Sak to the Ground,
Then went for the kill.
Renzo now,
Makes a comback.
Shows his skill.
And the will,
that made him great.
Royler will still,
Compete in Brazil.
Now it's Rockson turn.
To live up to the name,
and not put it to shame.

A SONNET FOR ROYCE GRACIE
by Lacrymosa

Before the books are closed in fighting lore,
The fallen Royce once strong, tall, and able
"Perfection!"; the fans have expected more
Before his legend became a fable.
His dream came true on pay-per-view fighting.
One by one his great foes did surrender.
Blinded by spectacle so exciting.
Young man from Rio, deadly and slender.
Where is that man who brought fear to this game?
Where is that champion who wore the white gi?
What was the feat that stole our hero's fame?
Where is that fighter, oh where can he be?
Despite the greatness Royce Gracie has claimed.
That bold and brave warrior, in Pride, was maimed.

Martial Artist,
easy on the "Jap" stuff...

though I don't think you are doing it with any malice, and are just trying to shorten the word to fit into your poem

haha which is okay..I guess

I wasnt trying to offend anybody or anything.It's just that saying
"It wont,be the Japanese best day." doesnt really ryme.
