He was easily the most talented standup fighter in UFC 1 and could've become much better, but as you said, Ego did hold him back.

He used tactics meant for a life and death situation. He's a warrior, but pulling that shit in competitions was just disgusting. Permanently blinding someone who is competing against you is just too far. I can understand if on the street and someone pulled a gun and was threatening your life, but in a competitive situation?! Fucking horrible!

( I very much doubt that many ( if Any!!) of those commenting would have ever had the balls to step in there at all, in the first place... Look at the definition of "cowardice" from dictionary.com: " lack of courage to face danger, opposition, difficulty, pain etc.."... As we Are speaking English here, quite clearly the one who would step into the Octagon for UFC 1 has a great deal less of that quality in their character than the many people who jump to label him as such, the vast majority of whom could never truly overcome their fears, no matter what, to be stepping in there at all...Many of them would shit just considering it in Actual Reality...Fact. ( I, for one, very much doubt that I would consider Actually, Truly stepping in there for that event...) Ruthless personalities, and fucked up actions like those referred to, in the octagon or ring, are their own thing altogether....( like "Tyson vs Holyfield", for instance..) As for fighting ability, my bet is that Gerard Gordeau would, without doubt, smash seven shades of shite out of 99.90 percent of the very same people attempting to label him as not being a skilled or good fighter, also..... Otherwise, the statements/comments can have No Real accuracy, truth, validity, or reality to them whatsoever, by default...End rant.

He was the dirtiest fighter in the game. Biter and eye gouger.

This scumbag intentionally blinded another fighter in the ring and still loss the fight to a man half his size.. He said he would do it again. May Karma find you.

Timestamp on when he talks about the eye gouge please?

For a second I thought he said crazy jui-jitsu

Gerard has a background in judo as well. Most of the holds Gracie used come from judo. Why were so many of the early ufc judo fighters so far behind Royce in grappling?

Because judo doesn’t emphasize the ground game they emphasize throwing. The rules of the sport only allow like 10 seconds of ground game to make progress or the refs stand you up. Most judoka only have the ground game of a blue belt or purple belt in jiujitsu that’s why Royce was so dominant

A lot of kyokushin is pretty fucky and weird back then when you really get into it. Mas Oyama wrestling wounded boars the Bear thing with Willie Williams etc. Lots of propaganda went into promoting it.

150 lbs Yuki Nakai beat this 240lbs man after he permanently destroyed Yuki Nakai right eye with a thumb gouge. This Dutchman not a good fighter. He illegally gouge out a much smaller man's eye and still he lose to the little legend Yuki Nakai. He bite the smaller 170lbs Royce Gracie's ear and still he lose. His name is forgotten by all but an obscure few in this world but the name Yuki Nakai is legendary, especially among Judokas. This dutchman couldn't even defeat a smaller man even after gouging out his eye. Whom would give their hard earned money to learn fighting from such a desperate, cowardly, loser. His size & strength advantage wasn't enough. His skills also weren't enough. So he permanently thumb gouge Yuki Nakai right eye, blinding him for life, and still it wasn't enough. Yuki Nakai defeated him and went on to fight other larger, stronger, men that same night, only losing to Rickson Gracie. That night Yuki Nakai became a 150lb legend.

Tbf thumbing the eye is not enough on its own to make you blind. He did not gouge out the eye as that would imply scooping it out of the socket. What he did do was poke the eye which damaged it and led to infection. Yuki did not get his eye treated and continued with the competition, which is why he is blinded. What Gerard did was still against the rules and deliberate, but you see people do this accidentally all the time today and people don't go blind. Part of the responsibility lies with Yuki and his camp for not taking him to the hospital tbh.

Just a seriously and genuinely terrible human being. Just an awful person

I respect his mentality but rules are rules
