To the people who asked, Royce Gracie lost to Sakuraba in a fight that last for 6 (!) rounds, more than 1:30 hour, because he broke his foot. To that "Japanese Guy", that is called Yoshida, one of the best japanese judo fighters, that is fighting in MMA competitions. This is a really confusing match, because Yoshida got his hands in Royce's neck in a really difficult angle... And Yoshida said to the referee that Gracie was out!!! And so the match ended... Royce said that did not tap, and it was true, but Yoshida was considered "winner"...
About the fight, I think that Royce is not good stand-up as Matt, but Royce master the techniques of submission, a lot more than Matt.
I have said this before, a "complete player" is the one who master the technique that he is supposed to. And Royce leaves no doubt about it.
I think that if Royce get Matt in his game, the match does not last 2 minutes. And so I want!!!! Royce is one of the most respected fighters in the world, but sometimes underestimated, because of his size and age.
Hey, man, how can I watch the fight?? Just by PPV^??
