This is my personal favorite of Royce Gracie at UFC 3 against the steroid freak Kimo Leopoldo. Kimo weighed in at 250Lbs and Gracie was 176Lbs. Any doubters of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu should watch the clinic Royce put on for the MMA world.
This was back in the day when the UFC was a "No Holds Barred" fighting competition. Notice the bare knuckles of the fighters and also the hair pulling that went on.
The UFC owes a great debt of gratitude to Royce Gracie & the Gracie family for putting the UFC on the map and giving the average man hope when confronted with a juiced up animal like Kimo.
