Thanks for pointing that out, I didn’t know about him, he does have a Wikipedia page

[@tacianofarpado7924]

I had the chance to read an interview of Benny Urquidez in 95 or 96 in a specialized magazine about that. And back then Benny was inquired if the challenge really happened, to what he replied saying that Rorion and not Royce, had published in a martial arts magazine the challenge to prove his skills fighting Royce (and he obviously felt disrespected). His answer to the publishing was that he would fight RORION, plus without any rules, allowing to hit the testicles and the neck - "Til the death", it was his final words on the question.

[@orlandocarrasquillo4481]

You could hit the neck and testicles in the early UFCs there were only 3 fouls: no biting, fish hooking and eye gouging. People got hit in the balls, headbutted, hit to the back the head and spine and kneed and stomped on to the head while on the ground.

[@arindambanerjee3326]

Rorion is a coward liar

[@jackpeacock118]

@@orlandocarrasquillo4481 ironic all threes of those tactics would pose a threat to bjj, imagine if one of the gracies got their face ripped off from a fish hook, theyd never be able to recover their image even with all their expertise in promotion and propaganda

[@bobhebel4116]

Well, there it is! I knew I had heard or read someplace that Benny had trained grappling. So according to Richard, Benny trained Judo specifically and with Gene Lebell. On Rorion Gracie's YT channel, he has a new video uploaded where he tells a very different story about the Jiu-Jitsu challenge match. For starters, Rorion says that the fight was supposed to be between himself and Benny rather than between Royce and Benny. Whatever the case, it's good to hear Richard's version of events. Richard's telling sounds more accurate to me, as I have personally never heard of Benny having many (or indeed any) detractors. It makes more sense that an ambitious but then little-known Gracie(s) would challenge the established and respected martial artist Benny "The Jet" Urquidez rather than vice versa.

[@nmr20067]

I think I saw that. Rorion also said he went to a seminar or something like that featured Gene Le Bell there, and he asked and waited and waited to spar Gene. Rorion says he waited to the end and turned Gene down…..

[@bakslayer3032]

Gene would have made the Gracies Mrs Lebell.

[@kevinhennessy1615]

Another Great Interview With Richard Norton He's So Interesting To Listen To 👍👏

[@ericshelley7241]

Benny is one of the greatest kickboxers who ever lived. He is a well rounded fighter, having black belts in 9 different martial arts. Akido and judo being two of them. So he definitely could have avoided take downs and submissions if he needed too. I honestly think he would have beaten royce gracie with his striking. I would love to be able to train with bennh and richard norton..Hey vikinig samurai, thx again for a another awesome video. A big fan of your channel from Kentucky

[@DukeRhodes]

Aikido would have not given him any advantages. Having a black belt in Aikido means literally nothing in a real fight situation. Gracie would have humbled Benny. Anyone that has one ounce of integrity would come to that conclusion.

[@GMunoz-oj5zb]

Royce beat judokas in ufc . The truth is that if Benny wanted to go to udca he could have done it . Saying that he would have beat it’s just disingenuous .

[@tinterorajr6029]

Bravo to Richard who is so wise, clever and interesting to hear.

[@hvyduty1220]

The only reason that bjj was top they handpicked their opponents.

[@antimediaman9354]

You are full of it. You make the claim you name the handpicks.

[@SJ-ty5rw]

No i think in the early days , stand up guys had no idea about BJJ , once the distance was closed they had nothing to attack with . And had no defense to stop it on the ground . Too many of them were submitted to be a fluke . But i do think guys like Benny the Jet were rare . If anyone had a chance .. being able to tag them when coming for a takedown it would be him . But 98% of stand up guys no way .

[@VultureLivesAgain]

"They handpicked their opponents." This is a myth that just won't die. They were in no position to handpick their opponents. Believe it or not, fighters do not line up to participate in no-holds-barred fights when very little money is being offered, and no one's ever heard of your organization before. No, the Gracies had to take who they could get. They even put out ads in martial arts magazines, looking for fighters. That's how Ken Shamrock ended up at UFC 1. He saw the ad, called the number, and said he'd like to participate. The rest is history. Do you really think the Gracies didn't want to fight a big name? Like Benny Urquidez or Mike Tyson? Of course they did! It would've given them a ton of publicity. But why would Tyson fight no-holds-barred for peanuts? That's the problem. They called Ernesto Hoost's gym in Holland and tried to get him for UFC 1. And guess what? They were told they couldn't afford him. But the gym in Holland suggested a fighter named Gerard Gordeau, who was much more affordable. In case you don't know, Gordeau fought at UFC 1. See how that works?

[@Jimmy.Williams]

Great interviews, love the old school stories, thanks!

[@VikingSamurai]

Glad you liked it!

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

I understand why it did not happen and why people wanted it to. Benny is a small guy and even Royce towers over him. There are only two possible outcomes in a Benny Vs. Gracie fight: -Benny manages to maintain the distance and eventually knocks out or knocks down the Gracie leaving him unable to continue -Gracie closes the distance and the rest is history; Benny has both the size and skill disadvantage in that situation. He has no chance of winning there But of course at the time all this stuff was still novel and exciting and there was more of a novelty factor.

[@rnkmode1876]

Yeah, especially at that time, your 2nd scenario was definitely way more possible of happening and it wasn't worth the risk for Benny for sure.

[@VikingMale]

And yet Benny grew up doing wrestling and was quite used to close quarters grappling and ground fighting.

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

@@VikingMale It's cool that he had some exposure to wrestling but on a mat wrestling is unlikely to make a huge difference against advanced BJJ. On the street wrestling slams can cripple people but submitting someone like that on a mat is a lot more complex and it is unrealistic and convoluted for a little guy to slam a much bigger guy on his neck to cripple him to win a petty gym fight.

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

@@rnkmode1876 Yeah it would have made more sense to challenge someone like Dennis Alexio who was proven in kickboxing against larger opponents and had the size to resist the grappling advances of someone like Rickson (in theory). Being able to take down a small guy does not constitute proof of BJJ grappling being great. Of course now we know it works but it would not have been the smartest advertising back then.

[@rnkmode1876]

@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252 sure, imo Rickson or Royce would've taken both guys, because that was the rise of BJJ and majority of the world didn't catch on to the techniques and defense just yet. Even other grappling arts. Gokor Chivichian had the chance to complete at UFC 1 but for whatever reason he turned it down. You know it would've been him vs Royce in the finals, that would've been interesting.

[@davecarroll3624]

Ii think if iit came down to pure martial arts techniques? The Benny would have inevitably won, hands down, the guy fought soooooo many real warriors oof the the martial arts, its unreal.....

“You’re like in quicksand”. Spot-on observation 😂

[@BradYaeger]

Benny was known for saying yes to pretty much any type of fight , showing up sometimes on the other side of the world , and only THEN finding out what the rules were. I remember seeing Ukidokan atricles in the 80's where Benny was already doing ground techniques well before the Gracies were on the scene so he wasn't delusional. He's also the kind of guy if you DID beat him, he'd show up the next day and ask you to teach him, and a month later he'd be better at it than you are.

[@trollking99]

Bruce Lee learned ground techniques too, they're in his movies. He also asked Judo Gene to teach him after he got tossed around during the Green Hornet.

[@AztecUnshaven]

​@@trollking99 No evidence he got "tossed around" by Gene, only unverified claims by Gene Gene himself. Bruce was already Judo savvy prior to meeting Gene, and Gene's own student Hayward Nishioka stated this.

That would have been a true dream match. I could see Benny winning in seconds with a strike, or Gracie winning once he got Benny to the ground.

[@DukeRhodes]

BJJ actually derived from Judo and not Japanese Jujutsu. It was just back when Mitsuyo Maeda taught Carlos Gracie and Oswaldo Fadda it wasn't widely known as 'Judo', it was referred to as Jigoro Kano Jujutsu, (Jigoro Kano being the founder of modern Judo.) Hence why the Brazilians adopted the title 'Brazilian Jiu-jitsu' Butchering the spelling of Jujutsu in the process. BJJ = Basically Just Judo

[@GMunoz-oj5zb]

Yes and no . I see Bjj as a specialization from judo . Just like microbiology is a specialization from biology

[@DukeRhodes]

@GMunoz-oj5zb BJJ evolved from Jigoro Kano Judo just as Kosen Judo evolved from it. Mitsuyo Maeda would've been considered a Kosen Judoka today, as he taught the Gracies and Oswaldo Fadda the more ground based focused discipline from Jigoro Kano's Jujutsu/Judo.

[@JustinThorts]

Love it ! You are correct on the historical bits too

[@alanstephen3371]

Funny that the gracies never challenged the King of the streets Marco Ruas who was both UFC and Vale Tudo champion

[@purplestuff]

They ducked a lot of challenges from other dojos that they knew would kick their ass. Rickson wasn't undefeated either. He lost to Mark Tripp in a sambo competition by "total victory" which is sambo's version of the "ippon" rule in Judo.

[@tuffaldrin6846]

We’ve seen phases in mma. In the beginning jiu jitsu was on top. Then wrestlers learned submission defense and wrestling was on top. Then sprawl and brawl rose to the top. Now there is a real knowledge of mma iq. -Note- mma as a 1vs1 sport.

[@Scorch1028]

There are conflicting accounts about how this challenge went down. According to Benny’s account (from a 1995 magazine article) Rorion challenged him, and then he backed down, offering to have Rickson Gracie take his place. Rorion was an exceptional grappler, but Rickson could strike and grapple. Rickson was accurately regarded as being the best fighter out of all of Helio Gracie’s sons. The way Benny described the whole thing, it sounded like he had very little to gain from this challenge. All things considered, it’s probably best that this fight never occurred.

[@jackreacher4488]

Don Wilson is a notorious liar. Check out History of MMA in America by Clyde Gentry III. Wilson was a commentator for a while, infamous for his "Well if I were in there", spewing how no one except him knew how to fight. After one event where he had a particular case of mouth diarrhea, Tank Abbot challenged him to put his money where his mouth was and fight him. Don started talking fast, saying for a million dollars he would, knowing full well the UFC couldn't pay that much. He also claimed Tank wouldn't be able to get by his spinning back fist.

[@zshakur]

With ALL DUE RESPECT, the Gracies innovated maybe 15% of JJ, the rest they took STRAIGHT from Kohsen Judo, including the guard. Now whether Helio knew this or not I don't know because they never specified what style of Judo Count Koma taught them, but I don't like the claim that 85% of BJJ was created by them and didn't exist before them. I look at BJJ the same way I see Jeet Kun Do. It's a hybrid system based on pre-existing techniques. Still an extremely effective Martial Art.

I have all the respect in the world for Bruce , and his contributions to Martial Arts are immense . That said , Benny wins every day of the week and twice on Sundays . Benny was just better in every category

[@DouglasGomesBueno]

Benny have to play Smart like Dan Handerson made against Renzo Gracie and KO the Gracie their Striking are low level, Benny actually have a High level Judo it's not a easy prey for Takedowns.

[@AJ-ts9de]

It was supposed to be for 100k and The Gracie’s wanted him to put up 100k too but that didn’t make sense since Benny was the one who stepped up and said he’s up for the challenge. Benny’s brother said they wanted the public to see but since Royce was afraid of how hard Benny hit it would most likely end in a KO horribly and the Gracie legacy would be tarnished by that ending. Just remember when Matt Hughes was need Royce Benny would’ve done 10 times more damage. Hughes was holding back cause if he really wanted Royce would’ve been paralyzed sorry to say it that way. Benny is a legend in his own right and we all know he definitely would’ve KO’d Royce

[@antimediaman9354]

None of them were afraid of Benny I assure you. Bigger pro fighters hit way harder then Benny. Hell it was possible to take down and choke out the former heavweight champon f the world that beat Holyfield James Tony. beat him in 14 seconds just by grappling. James could not eveb ounch one time.

[@richnielsen4465]

I promise you Benny can kick harder than James Tony can punch.

[@antimediaman9354]

​@richnielsen4465 Maybe, and there are people in the UFC who kick way harder than Benny, but the Gracies defeat them easily. They beat pros who are much bigger and stronger than Benny. Now, if you think Benny would have a chance being just a buck fifty in the ring with Roy Jones Jr., Holyfield, or Tony, you're crazy. And also, dude, how hard you punch or kick doesn’t make you the champ, so get that straight.

[@antimediaman9354]

@richnielsen4465 They measured an average pro boxers punch my undeducated dude and he hit at 850 lbs.. The spinning back kickers kicked at 1,200 but they were also world champion martial arts kickers, not Mike Tyson, Holyfield, or james Tony. We don't listen to you; we listen to those far more knowldgeable like Don Wilson who was asked the same question and he said their would be no way he could beat Tyson or survive one punch against any of those heavyweight champions being as light as he is and Benny is only 147 lbs so he;d get creamed. But put any of them in the UFC and they would get creamed in seconds liek a fish out of water. Get used ro reality buddy.

[@hugejackedman3447]

Tbf, back then BJJ was really just catching people by surprise as few competing athletes trained BJJ outside of the sport itself. Change the timeline a bit. Take today's fighters and put them back in the 80s/90s or put a young Rorion and Royce against today's sport. Would the Gracies still be overwhelmingly dominant? (or confident for that matter) Not taking anything away from their contributions to martial arts, but it's easy to challenge high level fighters when you know they're completely unprepared! 😂 But nowadays BJJ isn't the big, scary "boogeyman under your bed" that it used to be.

[@VultureLivesAgain]

The whole point of UFC 1 was style vs. style, to see which style was the best. Putting another BJJ guy in there would have defeated the point. Royce himself was a one dimensional fighter. He had nothing other than BJJ. But he was able to dominate. And he continued to win at subsequent events, when people knew what to expect from him. BJJ isn't big and scary anymore, because everyone saw its effectiveness and decided to learn it! How is that a knock against the Gracies?

[@hugejackedman3447]

@@VultureLivesAgain Totally agree, but not what I was getting at. UFC 1 being style vs style has nothing to do with the Gracies vs the world- Rickson vs Chuck or Benny vs Rorion or Royce for that matter. True, BJJ vs BJJ would be pointless but all I was saying is (in different words) if you already know my weak points, challenging me isn't going to be hard for you to do! lol Today, people have answers to BJJ even if they aren't actually proficient at it. 30-40 years ago, the knowledge bank was close to dry unless you actually did BJJ as well. Even this story implies that Benny was undertaking "Judo" from Gene LeBell to prepare for it. So it's not so much that people are doing it now, as much as it is that people have a better understanding in general whether they actually do BJJ or just have answers for it.

[@VultureLivesAgain]

@@hugejackedman3447 "UFC 1 being style vs style has nothing to do with the Gracies vs the world." Uhhh... what? UFC 1 was the Gracies vs. the world! Rorion's premise was always style vs. style. Years before the UFC was created, there was the Gracie Challenge. The Gracie Challenge was a style vs. style challenge. The Gracie Challenge eventually became the UFC. Rorion vs. Benny essentially would've been a Gracie Challenge matchup. Style vs. style. BJJ vs. Kickboxing. Same premise as UFC 1. Mixed martial artists, as we think of them today, didn't really exist back then. Rorion and Royce were not mixed martial artists. They were BJJ stylists. Benny was a kickboxer. Rorion wanted to prove that kickboxing couldn't defeat BJJ. He wanted to prove that no style could defeat BJJ. Today's MMA fighter is a different breed. They generally aren't one dimensional stylists. They have answers for BJJ, because they have 30+ years of MMA history at their disposal to study and learn from, and they know what works and what doesn't (thanks in no small part to the Gracies!). They either learn BJJ, or they learn how to defend against it. Either way, they're learning some BJJ. If Royce was a young man now and competing in today's UFC, he wouldn't be a one dimensional BJJ stylist. He'd be training like an MMA fighter. But it was a different ballgame in his heyday. MMA fighters didn't exist. It was style vs. style.

[@hugejackedman3447]

@@VultureLivesAgain UFC 1 was jus UFC 1! lol It wasn't created by the Gracies for the purpose of putting BJJ on the map anymore than Chuck Liddell putting Kajukenbo on the map. Granted, I get what you are trying to say in that it's exactly the catalyst that gave the Gracies a bigger platform. That's not what's being disputed. I'm talking about the personal challenges to other well known martial artists. Nobody knew who Gerard Gordeau was unless they were hardcore combat sports fans. But Benny Urquidez was a *globally* known name. Chuck Norris too. So UFC 1 had nothing to do with issuing personal challenges to people with worldwide acclaim, especially since there was no way to know if it was even gonna be successful! You keep bringing up "style vs style". Why? I'm not implying that instead of fighting opposing or different styles that they should have proven themselves against their own style. Why keep bring up style vs style? I said it's not hard to challenge someone when you know you have a high chance at winning. It's like gambling. When you know you have all the odds in your favor you're gonna go all in right? It's a "no brainer" as they used to say! 😂 Without a thorough breakdown of each special circumstance of the past, the question is how confident in success is a person going to be when the odds aren't really stacked in their favor? (Same thing I asked earlier just reworded)

[@VultureLivesAgain]

​@ Do you not know the history of the UFC? In fact, it was created by Rorion Gracie for the purpose of putting BJJ on the map. But they called it Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, to put their own branding on it. Why? Because they were trying to sell it, of course! That was the purpose of UFC 1. Yes, it was a sport, and it was entertainment, but it was also a sales pitch for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The Chuck Liddell analogy doesn't work, because Chuck was just another fighter. He didn't create or own the company. Rorion Gracie created and owned the company, and he wanted to use it to drive up business at his schools. The idea was that Royce would take on all comers (aka the Gracies versus the world!), defeat them (which they were confident would happen based on their prior experiences with the Gracie Challenge), and the viewing audience at home would see that they need to sign up for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu lessons. Of course they wanted big names, like Benny Urquidez, at UFC 1. It would have given the event a ton of publicity. Problem is, it's hard to attract big name fighters and celebrities when you have very little money to offer them. Especially when you're asking them to fight no-holds-barred, which is outside of their wheelhouse and quite brutal. It's not like Benny was banned from the tournament. He could have participated, but he didn't. Specific fighters were called and asked to participate. Ernesto Hoost was one of them. They were told they couldn't afford him! In fact, that's how Gerard Gordeau ended up in the tournament. They called a gym in Holland to inquire about Ernesto Hoost and Peter Aerts. After being told they couldn't afford either of them, the guy on the phone said, "But we have this guy named Gerard Gordeau who would probably do it." EDIT: I put it too mildly when I said that Rorion wanted to "drive up business at his schools." No, he wanted Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to become a nation wide phenomenon, and open up schools all over the country. And guess what? It worked!

Benny had insane speed and power. If he landed a single blow, any Gracie would have been hospitalized

[@antimediaman9354]

That's not true. They fought bigger stronger men that had more power than Benny because they are Heavyweight pro's. Like there is no way that Benny could ever beat James Toney in a boxing match. He'd get killed. He's a guy that beat Evander Holyfield after Holyfield beat Tyson and guess what? Toney lost in 14 seconds against Randy Couture who threw no punches and only grappled.

[@johndough8115]

​@@antimediaman9354 Benny has Knocked out several fighters, with a no-look spin kick, to the fighters Chests. Its as fast as most Boxers Jabs.. and has put at least one fighter into the Hospital. Being Bigger, and or Stronger, does not always Equate to having more Impact Potentials. Ive sparred against many fighters that were almost twice my mass, and strength. Yet I was able to impact with MUCH more power than they were capable of Generating. Why? Because Im a Masterclass level fighter. One that has trained my Barefoot kicks on a wall mounted sandbag... As well as putting on Hard Leather bottomed dress shoes.. and kicking a Thick Tree, for Hour long sessions. After several months of doing that every other day... at full speed, and full impact potentials... from both the Rear Leg positions AND the short range LEAD leg positions... you develop twice the acceleration, and at least double the impact potentials (if not more). You cant get that kind of power, by merely kicking a soft heavy bag. It was the same, with my Fists. Barefist hits to a wall mounted sandbag, for hour long sessions, at max speed, and max potentials. As well as punches a free-hanging bag filled with about 15 lbs worth of Steel BBs. Hitting that bag correctly, is like hitting a solid Iron Beam. Your fist Stings in pain. Furthermore... I developed insane Short Range power with my handstrikes.. by reducing the distance, until Full Mastery at that distance. I mastered my strikes down to a mere Inch. I then tested my short range striking power out on many fighters. To date, Ive KO'd four different disrespectful fighters (I dont use KO forces, unless a fighter shows disrespect)... from my mostly extended LEAD hand vertical fist punch, to their Foreheads. I used less than 6 inches of arm travel, and I never used more than about 15% of what I was fully capable of releasing.. to do it. Three of the fighters I KO'd, were Blackbelts in Jujitsu, at their Open House sparring event. They were being very disrespectful towards me... and Id later learn, that one of them intentionally broke a TKD fighters arm (mind you, this was supposed to be a "Friendly" event.. not a full contact tournament). Dude started making funny faces at me, and making grunting and groaning noises... so I decided to drop him, and his buddies... one after the other. They all tried the typical High Feint, to attempted Low Scoop... but that Simplistic Crap doesnt work on a Masterclass level fighter, like myself. I was also being extremely NICE.. by not using an Oblique kick to their knees. I used that kick once, on a different disrespectful fighter. He took one step towards me, starting to throw a cross. But as soon as his lead legs foot planted.. its Knee was met by my short range, LEAD LEG, Oblique Kick. I only used about 10% on that kick max... but even that was way too much. He dropped to the mat like a sack of bricks.. started Screaming at the top of his lungs, and was crying a river of tears. It took a month for him to fully recover from the resulting injury. Mind you... I was 6ft, but only 150 lbs, when I was doing all of this. And the fighter whos knee I kicked? He was almost double my mass, and at least an inch taller than me. He showed me a room full of 1st and 2nd place trophies, from his many full contact competition victories... all across the states. But one day... the dude said that I, and Wing Chun was Sh*T... (I was always holding back, as I dont like to cause injuries for no good reason).. and so I decided to give him a tiny Taste of what I was actually capable of. His attitude changed dramatically, next time we met + sparred. He no longer wanted to get anywhere near me.. so much so.. that it became pointless to spar at all with him... because he never wanted to get close enough to engage anymore. I cant blame him, however. He also started to practice that kick, for his own use.

[@johndough8115]

​@@antimediaman9354 Part2: Another excellent example of Power vs Size.. is Bruce Lee. One fighter that ate Lees kick, said it was like getting hit by a Car. How was Lees kick that powerful... despite Lee only weighing like 140 lbs? One reason.. is that Lee was training his kicks on a custom made bag, that was about 4ft thick... and was said to weigh over 400 lbs. If was given to Lee as a Gag Gift from Bob Wall. The first time Lee tried to kick it.. the bag didnt move, and Lee ended up flying backward to the ground, instead... as his friends all got a good laugh out of it. But Lee took that bag back to his home... had to reinforce his support structure to hang it... and started seriously training on it, regularly. One guy was over at Lees home, and Lee said, "Hey (name), Watch this!" And Lee sidekicked that bag with so much force, that he was able to get the bag completely Horizontal... and it slapped the roof that it was mounted to. The dude said that he tried to kick that same bag.. and couldnt move it more than a few inches, at most. Of course, that wasnt the full reason, either. Lee was Also doing a lot of specialized leg exercises... as well as Acceleration + Speed drills... to maximize his legs potentials. It was similar with his handstrikes. Lee was doing Acceleration drills, and developed lighting fast limb speed. He combined that with short range power drills, and barefist conditioning. One fighter that got hit by his Inch power strike... reported that he had to call in sick from work the next day... because he was in unbearable pain. He said his chest felt like it was on Fire. And that was mostly a "Push" demo... with only a fractional amount of "Sting" on it. Most people... including most martial artists.. do not really know what a Masterclass level fighter, is capable of. They think, that just because you have competed and won in tournaments.. that it means a fighter is one of the hardest hitting, toughest, and most skilled... around. Unfortunately, thats not really true. Most Pro Fighters are extremely Sloppy. Often Miss their Strikes. And are often seen Eating like 30 to 100 strikes in a single Round. A boxer, for example.. might throw a punch and it lands with about 75% on the first punch... then the next punch lands with only 55%, while the 3rd punch lands with 68%. That isnt Masterclass. Masterclass level... is where you Never miss... and when You connect... its ALWAYS 100% of what your body is capable of. 100% acceleration, 100% max speed potentials, 100% correct vector angle, and 100% Impact potentials... with 100% pinpoint accuracy... EVERY SINGLE TIME. No variations, at all. When a fighter reaches Masterclass level output... he actually has Lethal level strikes / kicks... at a mere Fraction of his output release. You have to be extremely careful, even when mildly sparring.. as you can accidentally give it a hair too much power, and cause the OP to suffer a pretty severe injury. Very few modern fighters today, ever come close to Masterclass level. They often are not training with the right tools.. Often are not doing Acceleration Drills, and are not training with Non-Moving.. and almost non-absorbing, targets (when you hit a sandbag, the sand conforms to the shape of your knuckles... but right after that, becomes Hard as a Rock. This challenges your entire internal Structure, from Fist to Floor). There is also often a lack of hardcore work ethics. For example.. when I was kicking the tree... it was FOUR 15 minute sets. Each set was Non-Stop... AND... I maintained my maximum acceleration, max speed, and max impact potentials... for Every single kick, during that entire 15 minutes. This isnt like a dude randomly throwing a few kicks at the bag... with a few seconds between each... and mixed randomly with footwork, etc. Its a Brutal Non-Stop affair, pushing your body to the Extremes, and maintaining that level for extended time periods. There were two sets from both Rear leg positions, and two sets from the short range Lead leg positions. Only a max of 2 to 3 minutes of rest, between each Set. And as said, I was doing this every other day... for probably 3 straight months... before reaching Masterclass level potentials... and moving on to other things Of course, that was only one of many other things I would have been training, in that particular day. I was training between 4 to +8hrs, every single day... 365 days a year. I maintained that pace and intensity, for a solid 5 yrs, before I eased up a bit. Actually, at that time, I had reached Masterclass level potentials... which is why I no longer needed to put in as many hours. I only needed to do minimal work, to keep my tools Sharp (maintenance).

[@cuzz63]

Benny had 35 KO wins, he was known for KO'ing people in the later rounds after he wore them down.

[@johndough8115]

@@cuzz63 It appears more than that, according to Wiki. But regardless, I watched a Clip of him taking out a fighter in the ring.. with his signature no-look spin kick to the dudes chest. It was a beautiful setup. He started to turn and step away.. making the fighter think he was retreating in fear. He rushed right in... and ran straight into Bennys Jab-Fast, Monstrously Powerful... spin kick. Dude was Out cold... and I think he needed a trip to the Hospital, as a result. Also, I wouldnt doubt, that many sport fighters actually prolong many of their matches... rather than going for quick KOs. The problem with quick KOs, is that the audience watching.. often feels Robbed of extended Action. It would be like paying to see your favorite band play live.. and after only one song.. they packed up and left. But Heres the real deal. If you put Benny in a room against 3 other men... And you put any one of the Gracies in the same situation... I Guarantee that Benny would fare well... where as the Gracies would get utterly Stomped. Grappling has its uses... but its not a complete art... Its just a "Subset" (part) of a combat art. It cant deal with Multiples. It has no real answers for weapons. And its main tactic of Feinting... to get the takedown... only works on the clueless... and is still extremely Risky to do. I have very little respect for the Gracie Frauds. They are nothing but Globalists Elite, further Corrupting the Traditional Combat art... on Purpose. The Elite dont want high level combat technology, in the hands of the "slave class" citizens. They have been Corrupting the Combat arts, since the Industrial Revolution period... and potentially, even some time before it.

But here´s what Chuck Norris said. Chuck trained with Gene LeBell. Chuck had some grappling experience due to his training with LeBell but he said when he went on the mat with Rickson and Royce Gracie it didn't help him. He was like an amateur, Chuck said. So if Benny trained with Gene for the fight, I bet he wouldn´t have a chance on the ground against a Gracie. You must not forget, nobody at the time knew what BJJ exactly was. Look at Ken Shamrock, in UFC 1 in 1993 he had no chance against Royce Gracie but two years later he was the better fighter in their rematch because he learned how to grapple.

[@Patrick-sheen]

Exactly, ground fighting was nothing like it is today. BJJ was completely revolutionary
