The UFC was much better back in the day, when there were only 2 rules...

[Jim J Jiblets]

That is an asian thing, most of those folks smoke, it calmed them and helped focus.

Yeah, I lived there through most of my 20s.

[fenderbaum]

"No knees or elbows to a downed opponent".

Now the faggots drop to a knee anytime they are being hit as a strategy.

True, they seemed to be more gracious back then for some reason.

[Chaos]

No eye gouging, and no biting! Everything else goes!

Agreed. No weight classes, no rounds.

Wow you are lucky, I have always wanted to go to Japan. Not so much China though.

[Smell Muhfinger]

Loved watching him fuck up one Gracie after another.

This mofo was kicking all kinds of ass back in the day.

Go. Great place.

A lot of people say that the fix was in on the Gracies, the first several really helped Gracie jiujitsu get off the ground in the states.

[fenderbaum]

My nephew is a Marine and they go there every so often, and he tells me how amazing a place it is. Maybe someday when he is out of the Corps we can go?

I believe that. The most boring fighting style ever. It's like slow gay sex with clothes on.

Yep.

I could not agree more, some say it is taboo to talk ill of the Gracies. The story goes that the Gracie family helped bankroll the UFC, and since they were such a respected family in the fighting world (especially in Brazil) that the UFC needed them on board if they wanted to succeed. Only question is why was Royce the one they chose to lead?

Now it's like even more gayer sex with almost no clothes on.

So you're saying the fights were fixed? Royce was almost breaking mofo's arms and legs back then, stopped only by the ref.

[redshirt]

You know what I'm talking about.

I will never forget UFC 2 or 3, where this big dude elbow pounded the FUCK out of some guys head like 10 times, even after the guy was knocked out, can't find it anywhere on the internets.

I think somebody used to post that GIF whenever someone was getting their ass kicked in an e-fight. Elbower had elbowee in a crucifix and was just elbowing the shit out of him since he couldn't defend himself right?

Not so much fixed as finding opponents that Royce would have no problems with.

Well the history of the UFC and the Gracies isn't much of a secret but I've too also wondered why Royler.

Found it! I think.

They totally bankrolled the first couple. Royce got pretty fucked up a few times too. I think they were bought out after UFC 2
