Gracie Lost...

in all sports...age matters....these people knew it....they're just after the money.

It was plain and simple age.

I have no doubt, though, that the new multi-systems style is competitive with Gracie's type of fighting. Nowadays, it's more a question of how fit, flexible and adaptable a fighter is, rather than the style.

Parang Jordan na bumalik sa NBA yan to go one on one against LBJ or Wade hehe

i agree... twas like michael jordan's 2nd return from retirement. his body can't cut it no more.

also, fighters today combine (train on) different styles that makes it harder for old-school single-disciplined fighters to compete.

but royce sure was the 1st UFC hero/superfighter!! galing nya!!

ang lalaki pa ng mga tinatalo nya!!

remember that there were no weightclasses before and the fights were pyramid-style, i.e 4 fights in a single day!, as opposed to today's one-fight/day lang ala boxing.

ah but lately, all of the fighters dont use gi anymore because more often, the gis are used against the wearer. if i rememeber correctly, i think it was royce gracie who got pinned with his own gi, while his opponent, i think sakuraba, pounded him.
