i have kept silent when people diss royce for losing a couple but no more.
you know what i hear? i hear jealousy. i hear a bunch of people wanting revenge for the fact that this skinny, quiet guy wiped about these unbeatable muscled freaks in the first ufcs. gay icons like oiled-up ken shamrock and kimo f*cking lost to the skinny brown man in the gi. there was shammy, in his tight speedo, rippling muscles and trash talking... tap, tap, tap. there was pat smith, who elbowed that ninja guy's head into hamburger, squealing like a beeyotch after royce punched him the fact once. ONCE. kenpo master keith hackney can pound sumo man, but some big shots didn't drop royce and royce sure didn't look too afraid of him before he--um--tapped him.
so what that man did made everybody wake up and next thing you know you got jiu jitsu at the freakin' local YMCA, LOL. him and his brother like them or not revolutionized MA like nobody before except maybe bruce lee but i'd say even moreso because most people just know lee as a movie star.
so now he doesn't win anymore against today's top competition, who gives a sh*t. think of how long the average boxer or golfer or tennis pro remains on top... they're lucky if it's a few years before the new guy comes along. that doesn't mean they suck it just means their time has passed or that others have taken their art to a new level, which is the definition of evolution. personally i think after such a long layoff it was foolish to try and fight the best (at that time) in nhb or to try to "warmup" in sport versus a guy who's obviously been training and evolving a lot more, but whatever. and takada don't even get me started on him. that gutless ass ranger ducked and covered the whole time. what a biyatch.
sak himself said that royce was a tough fight... the toughest of all the gracies he beat (LOL). if sak was so totally able to toy with royce he would have made a bigger statement by manhandling him and knocking him out in the first five minutes. you all seem to forget that against these guys--even in the ufc--royce may have weak offense (especially in sak fight) but one of the best defenses.
and one other thing for every unbeatable fighter that comes along who's the perfect specimen, how long does that last? how about that unbeatable group, second to none:
-Sak... oops got TKO'd at Pride when he TURTLED the whole time!
-Mark Coleman... nothing is more fun than watching the look on his face after Williams kicked him in it....
-Kerr... this is the guy that everybody said would be the best of the best.... oops guess he's pretty unreliable, sorry
-Frank Shamrock... awesome fighter but barely beat Tito and then Elvis goes the distance with him
-Vitor... hmm I remember he was unbeatable combo of BJJ and boxing... until Coutre beat him senseless!
It goes on and on you get the idea. So do these guys suck now that they lose as much as they win or they don't devastate opponents because everybody is onto them?
but all the royce bashing makes me laugh, so what if he loses now. the NOW is what it is because of him and rorion's campaign to spring BJJ to the bigger world.
i think everybody's just been waiting so they can take their shots when he loses, because some people like to see buff men in speedos mount their opponents and ravage them and it screws up that whole fantasy when a skinny foreigner with a gi sends them packing, because it's so unsexy. whether it's towel-snapping or watching Top Gun--a gay recruiting film--there's a lot of men in this country that serve their latent tendencies in various ways, one being by vicariously living through these bouts with a Shamrock-type protagonist as their outlet/fantasy provider.
i mean, look at top gun: tom cruise is all buff and wears tight clothing and stuff but goose is the smart one, the one with a quick wit and a good weapons man. but he was not physically desirable as maverick was--he was the royce--so he had to die. then he's replaced at the end by iceman, who is buff too. but really goose was the most quality guy in that organization... however it didn't fit in to the subliminal fantasy because male viewers like their men buff and macho. if somebody upsets that in the movie, well then they get killed off.
so now here everybody's trying to kill of royce and i can see right through you.
