If it wasn't for the Gracie's there wouldn't have been any UFC, and they brought Brazilian jiu-jitsu to us in America. But people don't realize is that we had catches catch can wrestling, in America since the 1800s also in the UK. To make it short catch wrestling was taught in America up until 1960. What had happened to catch wrestling was pro wrestling, they started the fake wrestling. If that didn't happen Americans would have been training and catch wrestling from the '60s up until now, and they do teach catch wrestling now. But if you look up the history of catch as catch can wrestling there were gyms in America that taught you that style of wrestling, and the boxing. But it all stopped because of the pro wrestling fixing the matches, so Lou Thieze went too Japan and started teaching the Japanese catch wrestling. That's where sakuraba comes in. The Gracie Hunter as they call him. When Royce Gracie fought Saku The second time , Royce came up dirty for steroids so that second fight was a no contest. In the third fight sakuraba was way past his prime, and Royce beat him. But catch wrestling is a great style of submission wrestling, just like sambo. Don't get me wrong I am not taking anything from the Gracie's, I trained with Renzo Gracie for years. But I come from a wrestling background, so I really like catch wrestling because there's a lot of wrestling in it folk style Greco-Roman style and freestyle. But again if it wasn't for the gracies there would be no UFC. And if it wasn't for fake wrestling, Americans would have been training in catch wrestling for years, we had our own style of submission wrestling way before the Gracies Father was ever born. And if you want to go back even further, the Greeks had pancration. But there are no books on that and they lost that style thousands of years ago. But I agree with you 100% if it wasn't for them we wouldn't know anything about ground fighting.

Just discovered Mr. Buck's series of sports legend interviews. Pure gold. With intelligent questions and a genuine interest in their answers he seamlessly covers his guests life from childhood to the present in less than an hour which is pretty amazing.

Very good interview wow. I feel like I actually know about Royce Gracie a little bit from watching this. Like the formative questions that we can understand how he became who he is. Buck looks exactly like Jordan Peterson when the camera is back at that side angle. So weird.

The shoulders that modern MMA stands on belong to Royce Gracie. Royce Gracie is a living legend and the first face on the Mount Rushmore of MMA.

Thanks to Royce Gracie, all his brothers and relatives were able to make a living teaching Jiu-Jitsu in America. The "Gcracie" name is a brand.

THE FACT THAT HIS FATHER IS ELIO GRACIE HELPED ROYCE A LOT IN HIS CAREER.

Give me a firm place to stand and a lever and I will move the world - Greek philosopher Archimedes. Still very true today.

The only thing I don't like about Royce is that a few times that he's lost and I saw him get chocked out live in 1998 here in Rio growing up idolizing him in my teens is that he usually says "he didn't show up" when he lost..Matt Hughes squashed him and he doesn't give credit to his opponents for the win.

Man Royce looks great. Dude barely ages

A real representative of brazilians !! Oss

I think Rorion choosing Royce had as much to do with knowing he couldn't control Rickson as it did with how much more physically imposing Rickson was. Definitely made the right call, but ive heard that a lot.

There are so many lies. Rickson was asked to fight in the UFC for free, but he refused because he had a family to feed; Rorion was pocketing all the money, and since Rickson could speak or read in English, he signed a contract saying that he could not fight in the US independently of Rorions management, that is the reason he ended up fighting in Japan. Royce to this day keeps repeating the same lies.

Helio Gracie was NEVER a frail man. This is a myth and we've got the photos of Helio in school sports to prove it. He was always an athlete. He was trained alongside his brothers. Also, he didn't invent leverage. Kano was the first to emphasize leverage as a key important factor in grappling. Helio simply argued that leverage should be applied on the ground. He reshaped judo to be useful for submission-only fighting. It's more accurate to say "Helio decided fights needed to be finished."

Got my blue belt off of Royce

Gracies are fathers of MMA as a sport combat and that's true. Because they have started fights without rules and demonstrated that grappling techniques are most important and it is very effective to win many styles of martial arts. Then MMA as a sport combat was created with rules and regulations.

GJJ is completely opposite of what the UFC has morphed into. The present UFC is kick boxing or boxing with smaller gloves.

This is a nice, quaint interview, but with quite a bit of misinformation. The Gracies have yet to prove any claims of "additions" or "improvements" on the already-existing Jujustu and Judo, most notably from Kano. For him to say there's been no arrogance with the Gracies and BBJ is the epitome of arrogance. Comparing Helio to Mike Tyson is like comparing Justin Bieber to Sinatra. See Bill Wallace's comments on the first UFC. He was there and he's talked often about how rigged it was, which is why he was never invited back to adjudicate.

Hello Gracie did not invent or add leverage in regards to Juijitsu. That is a complete and utter fallacy. This is an urban legend that has been passed around and Grandmaster Helio never said that he added leverage to Juijitsu. Juijitsu has always been about leverage. The same techniques are found in books from the beginning of the 19th century. I have no idea why Royce Gracie is pushing this fallacy about his father.
