He was doing a triangle and an arm bar at the same time! Amazing!

[@jobaccountjob4297]

It's called Straight Arm-lock

[@jaysharp789]

Renzo made that look so easy, against one of the best fighters in early mma

[@perfectsplit5515]

In a way, this was more prestigious than anything Royce or Rickson did. Neither of them beat a reigning UFC champ in an MMA fight.

[@paulosicne8498]

I miss all the cool Kimono brands from the 90s that aren't around anymore: Storm, Krugans, Hunter; etc. Even the Bad Boy kimono I had in the late 90s was better than the ones they sell now.

[@Aslan_Baysangurov]

True… Fortunately, we still have good Kurkas in Sambo…

[@thataintnomoonsucka]

Agreed. I still have an old Krugans tribal and an Atama as pictured. Man, the one with the American flag on one shoulder and Brazilian on the other. I loved that one, man.

[@adaptiveagile]

Renzo was like a hot knife through butter. Takedown attempt stuffed by a sprawl, and boom. Side control. Not to mention the irony of low kicking Maurice.

[@douggherkin]

I remember on the UFC 15 behind the scenes video Maurice Smith was stood with Frank Shamrock and he was BEGGING to fight a Gracie! .....there's your answer Mo.

[@skgord1]

Frank Shamrock did fight Renzo Gracie but Renzo couldn't continue after Frank kneed him to the head when he was down and Renzo got the decision

[@ralphmarshall1000]

We never saw this fight because all the martial arts magazines were trying to sell Smith’s videos on how to beat Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The answer to this question, at least at the time, was to get lucky!

[@scarred10]

He didn't get lucky v silviera,he survived on the ground,escaped and then whooped him.

[@splintchesthair100]

You just got promoted from Ralph to Halph in one comment.

[@perfectsplit5515]

Maurice Smith's conceptual goal of "how to beat Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu" was all wrong, in my opinion. As a martial artist, the goal should not be about beating any particular discipline. The goal should be to be able to beat as many different opponents as possible. To strive to reach Bruce Lee's ideal of the fighter who can adapt to the styles of all the other fighters

[@thexmen9435]

The best thing in jiu jitsu is that even when you are against a dangerous striker when you are on the ground he could do nothing

[@perfectsplit5515]

I loved how he passed the guard as Maurice was attacking with a guillotine.

[@Jpeterson7]

Maurice was a big dude who went on to defeat Marco Ruas after this so he was no joke.

[@frederickguerin1484]

PURE JIUJITSU

[@unsolved8108]

I like the fact that Renzo did not go for punches when he had the black guy in crucifix position instead, he went straight for Americana.

[@redpillenecessaria4097]

Renzo ganhou de um cara maior, usando tecnica pura

[@stevearce1498]

Domination

[@one1428]

What is this entrance song by Renzo Gracie?

[@danrod3790]

So Maurice Smith defeated Mark Coleman and went the distance with Randy Couture. Even though he was taken down multiple times, he managed to avoid significant damage and a submission.

[@alanguages]

Maurice Smith is a point fighter. He doesn't try to finish his opponents. If you see some of his K1 matches, he would intentionally hold on to some opponents, just to run out the clock, because he was ahead. He goes for the rules of the specific sport.

[@thataintnomoonsucka]

The irony of the Coleman fight is that he was dissing the guard before the fight. Most of the fight happened with Coleman in his guard. Btw, I like Maurice, but this was quite ironic.

[@Per12189]

OMG Renzo so underrated among Gracies

[@ericrecano8557]

One of the many examples of why Renzo was the most proven MMA fighter of the Hracies…Rickson may have been the family champion and Royce the most iconic because of the the UFC…but it’s Tenno that fought the most I’m a amd with the hardest competion.

[@ericrecano8557]

Case in point …Renzo did a LOT better against a prime Matt Hughes then Royce did.

[@RiccardoAmmendoliaBJJ]

RenZo is the man

[@ericrecano8557]

And let’s not forget that Mo was a former UFC HEAVYWEIGHT champ that Renzo took out!

When Renzo was fighting Frank Shamrock, you could see him moving around on the ground in a similar way before Frank started throwing illegal knees. Guess Frank knew what was coming next!

[@RiccardoAmmendoliaBJJ]

yup

[@juniorgordinho2422]

boa luta do renzo

[@Verdade_respeito]

Renzo sabe das coisas. Esse Smith venceu Ruas e não foi pario para um homem de 1,72.

[@eugeniosimoes7078]

Ruas se lesionou. Venceu de fato na segunda luta, onde o Ruas tava sem nenhum gás. Não acho que o Renzo teria chances contra o Ruas, já que tomou um atraso do Eugênio que estava abaixo do nível do Ruas. Mas sem desmerecer o Renzo! Venceu limpo, na manha.

[@travishaynes1180]

Nice sprawl from Smith but he didn't maintain his position.

[@marcelopessoa2510]

O Renzo pegou mais pedreiras do que o Rickson

[@mikhailmorphy6284]

Maurice Smith venceu o Ruas duas vezes.

[@yevgeniyzharinov7473]

Pretty easy victory.

[@RiccardoAmmendoliaBJJ]

crazy to think especially since Renzo was like 175 and Mo was easily 220

[@jeremysipes44]

BJJ clinic on a bigger man.

[@javsalonso8295]

Something looks off in this fight, impressive win by Renzo though

[@billsimms2511]

I know what you mean. Watching this felt strange. Maurice fought with very little intensity. Hmm

[@glennmahoney3911]

Maurice got in the worst possible position and has bad submission defence

E esse mesmo Maurice Smith amassou o Marcos Ruas... Inclusive foi necessário jogar a toalha... e os ressentidos, inclusive o Ruas acha que dava para ter saído na porrada com o Rickson...rs...

[@RiccardoAmmendoliaBJJ]

OSS

[@eugeniosimoes7078]

Ruas tinha se lesionado dando a chave, só perdeu de fato na segunda luta por conta do gás. Renzo não venceria o Ruas, pois o Eugênio que era inferior deu um atraso danado no Renzo que precisaram apagar as luzes, imagina o Ruas rs. Os brasileiros sabiam neutralizar o bjj muito melhor que os gringos.

[@jessicajessica7451]

@@eugeniosimoes7078 é isso q vc não compreende e fica ressentido... No melhor momento de todos esses citados, Rickson, Ruas e Renzo... Estiveram em seus ápices em momentos diferentes e está tudo bem... q sua avaliação é com coração de fã... o Rua só perdeu por alguma desculpa q vc julga ser irrelevante, mas desmerece a vitória do Renzo com facilidade sobre o Maurice Smith..rs

@@stevenharrison5755 Rings started as a pro wrestling organisation. Many of their MMA fights are questionable.

[@leoguillot8381]

Super Fixed. Plus Shady victory from smith over Branden Lee Hinkel, probably to give more chance to Gracie. Btw, not only Hinkel got robbed by the judges but also Smith was HELL exhausted after the fight with the american wrestler. Renzo here wins like a typical gracie, nearly cheating, definitely shady.
