Hidehiko Yoshida vs Royce Gracie Pride Shockwave 2002

Two Royce was using his right hand to prevent the second hand from coming through to the other side of the neck. And three the choke wasn't on Royce's neck it to begin with.. it was on his more of face and the ref didn't even check if Royce was out or not he just went with word of the Yoshida.

[@aaronalbert4160]

@@Martin-bp4rm whether I live with it or not it was still a bad stoppage by ref. If the roles were reverse I would still be saying the same thing... I just would hope Royce's Ezekiel choke isn't as sloppy as Yoshida's. Also refs are human they make mistakes sonetimes and if they're Pride refs they're probably paid to make mistakes.

[@cmpf3158]

Do some action or the referee will think you're out: your arm limp. It's for the safety of the fighter either. You cannot blame the referee.

[@generatorx]

I wonder what might have happened if the ref had not stopped the fight, perhaps Royce might have eventually been choked out and not wake up.

[@DemuDesu]

Yeah. Lawler vs Askren got stopped for the exactly same reason. Prolonged chokes can literally damage the brain and ultimate kill you, Royce should have done something, anything to show he wasn't out (if he was actually awake, his left hand looks kinda going limp to me).

[@flowrepins6663]

​​@@DemuDesugracies always do that you can confirm just checking their history of sakuraba fights or rufino dos santos. Yoshida should have kept going regardless of what happens to royce. He is a good guy and didnt want to hurt him, but if thats how they play they have it coming

[@JamesMMcCann]

Early stoppage, but had that choke stayed on for 5 seconds more he'd have been out. When you're lying under an Olympic Judoka, and he's got you in a choke, and you're clearly not doing anything to defend yourself, what do you think the ref is going to do? This, or better to have let it go on and risk someone getting bran damage had they been in the choke?

[@maximilianohernandez8462]

Royce Gracie would have died

[@znail4675]

Yeah, if you are in choke and stop resisting don't blame the judge for calling the fight. He could have waved with his feet or hands to make clear he is fine instead of laying passive. Even if the choke was incorrect so would not resisting make it just a matter of time until the opponents corrects that.

[@1234kingconan]

refs in MMA usually see if they're responsive and move their hand if they can't see their face to see if they're unconscious or not. Fact is that Royce wasn't out yet. Do I think he would've been choked out anyway? yeah. But, it's a simple fact that the ref stopped it too early as well. I think Yoshida would've won anyway, but it's too bad that the ref didn't do it correctly.

[@flowrepins6663]

Gracies always not tap and complain after that happened many times..rufino dos santos. Sakuraba, he had it first time, next time he broken renzo's arm. Yoshida didnt knew them, should have kept chocking non stop even if he never awakes if thats how they want.

[@TTundragrizzly]

Totally needed to be stopped. Gracie was done. Completely at the mercy of Yoshida at that point. And I’m a huge Gracie fan. It was fair stoppage.

[@perfectsplit5515]

7:43 - Yoshida passes half of Royce's guard. From a BJJ standpoint, that is a failure for Royce. Yoshida later borders on getting a three quarter mount (while Royce is bordering between a half guard and quarter guard)

The more you step away from jiujitsu, the more you seem to take away. In fact at 7:10 Gracie goes for what looks a gyaku-juji-jime? But Yoshida shuts it down right away.

[@1234kingconan]

This makes BJJ look so bad. And honestly this is pretty much the history of BJJ vs. Judo lol. A bigger olympic level judoka on top of Royce is not a good position to be in. I think if in the US, Judo was more popular and adapted to the US audience of adult practitioners that balances ground work with standing (for safety reasons), it would've been better. I would have preferred to do judo over BJJ just in general, even with modern judo's de-emphasizing ground work. But the options for judo outside of Japan just isn't that good, especially not good in the US. It's better in Europe, but obviously the best in Japan. And it's just a better martial art. No martial art that starts from the ground makes any sense. And this is coming from someone with 16 years of BJJ experience. I'm just in too deep at this point to change. If I could go back I'd definitely pursue judo instead. I'd feel a lot more confident with self defense seeing as how people walk around on their two feet, nobody crawls around on the ground. Every fight starts from the feet. I'd rather have an amazing osoto gari than a great guard. Oh well.

[@uncircumcisedcircus]

It's nice to see someone who isn't a BJJ cultist. I came to a similar conclusion as I did Jiujitsu first but now I spend a great deal of time on Judo and my confidence has gone up exponentially.

Without the gi is another game also with punches. He had to loose his shirt and change rules.thats not bjj.

[@pedroiranzo3883]

@@flowrepins6663 Lo cierto es que el bjj tiene poco de Gracie Jiu-Jitsu...el Gracie Jiu-Jitsu se mide con reglas de "vale tudo" con rounds indefinidos de 15 minutos o un round sin tiempo....en un combate de Jiu-Jitsu no está permitido golpear.

Bunch of dumb comments, If Royce didn't tap, the referee doesn't have to stop the fight. Yoshida decu érola

Judo wins 9 out of 10

[@robertoc.abrahao8119]

Malandro (Yoshida) pediu para o juiz parar a luta porque sabia que não tinha apagado o Royce e talvez não iria conseguir. Royce estava muito acordado na luta. Foi injusta a atuação do árbitro e maliciosa a atitude do Yoshida.

He has a legit complaint here but hey it’s a taste of your own medicine. Gracie’s been cheating since day one and this wasn’t even a cheat it was an honest mistake by the ref and can be seen as a tko but with a submission hold. Royce was going to sleep for sure.

[@danieldelavera9212]

It's ignorant to assume that Royce Gracie would have actually been choked out had the bout continued. The fact is, it was a premature stoppage by the ref who wasn't even legally allowed to stop the fight under the rules. Only the corner men were legally allowed to stop it via throwing the towel.
