Gracie's a black belt and holding your opponent in a submission while the ref is trying to pull you off isn't even something a white belt would do. _That_ is what I'm talking about and that's what makes him a piece of garbage.

Thank you for putting this up👍 I was a sophomore in high school when this first came out there was nothing better then enjoying something new in the fighting world with some good friends😀👍

[@neofromthewarnerbrothersic145]

Such an amazing time in the history of fighting. No weight classes, almost no rules, just all kinda of fighters from all over the world trying to prove their style is the best. It's like a goddamn movie plot.

[@thedoncrazephaze5375]

I was bout 19 when this first came out, watched it as it happened. My neighbor was a 5th degree black belt from Dominican Republic (& a neurosurgeon, no joke - & I understand what some say bout "belts", but this guy was legit to me)...he used to get all these shows when they were not quite so easily accessible (also why I was privileged to see earlier Tyson fights when harder to find). Thanks Dr.Vasquez!!! As I have gotten older, now 50...I dont know whether to call these early UFCs genius, alarming, or both - certainly more dangerous. Yet, funny what one learns bout the Gracie control over these early events yrs after the fact (including the one boxing glove-seriously? Jimerson's choice or not, someone should gave said SOMETHING!) Then there are the theatrics hear & there of Royce "exhausted" the ring attire advantage, etc., not cool Gracie family. W/that said, I respect & acknowledge Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, its all a mixed bag for me. The next few years introduced us to greats like Severn, Tank, Paul the Bear, Oleg Tarktarov, etc...list goes on. Not sure whether to be appalled or impressed, forgive my being vague...but damn!!! Edit a bit thru video...IS THAT BRIAN KILMEADE INTERVIEWING!!! Thats weird...

Royce foi o cara do MMA! Rickson nao entrou nesta com medo de perder... Tu fostes o Cara dos Gracies! sempre! tu abristes toda esta estrada do MMA atual.

[@ed_2285]

Na verdade não, Rickson nunca foi realmente cogitado no UFC 1 por ser o melhor da família, mais forte fisicamente, não seria impressionante o suficiente para vender o JJ nos Estados Unidos, Royce era o menor e mais fraco fisicamente, então ele representou a família no Estados Unidos e passou o carro em todo mundo. Então como Royce foi com uma parte da familia para o UFC, Rickson foi com outra parte para o Japão, e no mesmo ano que Royce dominava os Estados Unidos com o JJ, RIckson fazia o mesmo no Japão nos torneios de vale tudo 94 e 95 que ele foi campeão e nas lutas no Pride 1 e 4 que ele venceu o Takada. Os Gracies acabaram espalhando ao mesmo tempo o JJ em dois lugares diferentes, por isso cresceram tanto no mundo.

[@ed_2285]

@@MatheusHenrique-ri7om Acho que não devemos nos desfazer do Rickson assim, o cara era linha de frente no Rio de Janeiro muito antes do UFC acontecer, ele ja era envolvido em diversas lutas, desafios, toda a história com o pessoal da luta livre, enfim, ele é de uma outra época, uma epoca unidimensional no vale tudo. Acredito que ele era um lutador top de linha até muito depois do Pride começar, claro que logo depois surgiram lutadores melhores e mais completos do que ele no MMA, sabendo chão, queda e trocação (Filosofia do Marco Ruas) o que dificultou demais o jogo de qualquer Gracie, eu concordo que não devemos enaltecer ele com o maior de todos os tempos até hoje, intocável o Bruce Lee de nossa geração, pois ele não enfrentou os tops que surgiram posteriormente, como o Sakuraba, mas também não podemos nos desfazer de toda a história e importância do Rickson para o Vale Tudo/MMA e principalmente para o JJ no Brasil e no mundo.
