![]() | ***Nishi: Could you tell me more details about the fight with the master Kimura? Helio: Sure! Helio: In the beginning I carefully tried to find a breakthrough, but I was in his control as soon as we stood close to each other. I had no time to even hold or grapple him. What I barely could do was to avoid his perfect throw in such a way that I relaxed the strength of all my body and moved my position a little bit at the moment when Kimura tried to throw me and as a result Kimura lost his balance. I was taken into the ground, and I got choked at first. It was difficult to breathe. I felt it working enough so I was wondering if I should tap as I promised Carlos. Nishi: ? Helio: Well, this is what I've never told anybody before. It seems I went unconscious while I was thinking about what to do [give up or not]. (Naturally all the staff let alone Nishi were surprised to hear that, but what was more impressive than that was the shocked expression on Rorion's face.) Helio: If Kimura had continued to choke me, I would have died for sure. But since I didn't give up, Kimura let go of the choke and went into the next technique. Being released from the choke and the pain from the next technique revived me and I continued to fight. Kimura went to his grave without ever knowing the fact that I was finished. If possible, I wish I could have talked about the fight with him and let him know about it.*** i know the kimura Vs. helio thing has bee beat to death but this kinda adds a new side to the story that i thought others would be intrested to know. |

![]() | Interesting insight... Although, I would blame the referee for not realizing that Helio had gone unconscious... Say, wouldn't it have been great if they had the same ref who did the Yoshida/Royce Gracie fight?

| Registered User | Just do...seems to me he would have mentioned something in the book "The Gracie Way" rather than some random interview if he wanted the truth to me known. But either way, it doesn't matter to me that much.

| Registered User | One question........ What's the difference? It's not going to change the outcome of the fight. Whether he was choked out or got caught in Kimura he still lost so what's the big deal. I mean the fight happened forever ago. Just let it go man, let it go....... |

![]() | I was told a few years ago, that he passed out twice during the fight, but no one noticed. He must have been very relaxed while fighting for no one to be able to tell if he was awake or not.
