    The younger Gracies are on the rise too, so don't discount them... I'm not a Gracie lover, I just give credit where it's due... People are talking as though it's 1992... C'mon, ofcourse Royce would be at a disadvantage against today's fighters, but I wouldn't count him out of any contest. He's like the George Foreman of MMA.
    You just rephrased what i said but i agree.

      No I didn't... You basically said the Gracies were not successful in MMA with no indication "why." I told you it had to do with a thing called "age."

      And "no" we don't agree... I think Royce wins in a REAL NHB match.

        Gracies recently have not had any success in MMA.

        Dude i dont know maybe you did bad in high school but you need to learn how to read.I give the Gracies all the credit in the world they are legends...but in no way shape or form can they compete with any of the top level guys...new generation or not...they will not be as well rounded.Real NHB with no time limit..yea im sure he will hold on to anyone for an hour...thats a real fight.

          I think you need the reading comprehension lessons, bub... All the Gracies cross-train today. Ever hear of Rodrigo Gracie? They guy does wrestling, boxing, judo, MT and has beaten some tough fighters. The Gracies train just like anyone else, but their core training involves BJJ. Why don't you do a little research before you go off on a tangent?...

              Ah yes, that's right... Everyone here is a Gracie officionado... Boy, with friends like this, who needs enemies... Personally, I could care less who you've trained with...

              Anyway, I already addressed why they're losing to these new breed of fighters, and established that you're not the greatest reader... So it's understandable that you keep bringing up the same argument.

              Well.... conjure up your best reading skills and read this: Your moronic posts are a waist of my time... end of story.

                all right buddy then stop replying to my posts....if your just "wasting" your time.O and your "age" theory dose not apply to Rodrigo and corsley...whats the reason for them losing huh???? you just go over and over again with the BJJ worship..theres no need to OD we all know how essential is it to learn BJJ..but its not the answer to everything.

                  Royce always complained about time limits. But it raises a question if you can't make techniques work in a certain amount of time what good are they? I mean 30 minutes is not a short time for grappling and as you stated some have lasted for more than 1 hour. So where is the line between skill/technique/fighter and just being able to capitalize on exhaustion. Hey if kimo cut his hair and the cardio a little better it may have been a different outcome (of course I only mean the first fight).


                  In Royce's defense I think people should realize that the original UFC had no weight classes but also was tournament style so there may have been as many as 3 fights a night. Talk about Royce or some of the earlier competitors but I doubt you will find may of the current competitors that could handle that format

                    Maybe you should conjure up your writing skills before criticizing his reading.
                    I'm referring to him "waisting" your time.

                      Yes lets bring it to that. Petty name calling, the last bastion for a man who cannot explain himself.

                      And address it did you? You just said he had a nice personality. That was NEVER IN QUESTION. Can you read? That was in all my subsequent posts.

                      So in summation I guess I will have to bow to you, oh great and wise user of petty insults. Due to your unending factual posts and not the fact that you are obviously in love with Royce and will defend him no matter what. And because you have insulted me greatly.

                      But let me say this if I am a moron, you are a donkey raping shit eater. HAHA
                      I also have use of your form of communication if need be.

                      Why does every thread have to turn into an insult war? Grow up children!!

                                It was addressed for one instance yes. The final round fight, but he did it to every one of the guys he was fighting.
