Huge bullshit post.

UFC 1 - 4 proved BJJ was the Best Martial Art, bar none. You can't ask for more empirical data than that.
Quote:
Royce Gracie was the best BJJ fighter in the world at the time of UFC 1, and he was fighting guys like the boxer who had one glove on and shit.
What UFC 1, 2, and 4 proved was that Royce was an elite fighter, not necessarily that his system was the greatest. (Because to be perfectly honest, BJJ doesn't own the armbar, or the triangle, or the rear naked choke, etc....lots of systems teach those moves, those other systems just weren't as prominent or popular)

Because you are ignorant of the subject, I'll educate you. Sambo, Judo, Jiu Jitsu (Japanese) Brazilian/Gracie Jiu Jitsu all share the same techniques. THe difference is setup, and positional dominance. No one knew how to combat it in the early UFC's, plain and simple. Spouting off ignorance does no one any good, and CYF has proven he wants to learn the truth.
Anyways, do you talk out of your ass all the time making shit up? Royce Gracie was FAR from being the best Gracie Jiu Jitsu representative at that time. His Brother Rickson was light years ahead of him, but looked like a fighter. Royce was picked because he didn't have a chiseled body, was soft looking, and looked just like any other 170lbs guy on the street. Royce was picked because he was the weakest of all the Gracies, to prove that GRACIE JIU JITSU was the most dominant martial art at the time.

Hell look at Kimo. Kimo almost beat Gracie (and put him out of commission that tournament), and I would argue that if Kimo had shaved his head before the fight, he would have won.
Kimo studied TKD.
So does that mean TKD is the 2nd best? 
No, it means that Kimo is a big bad mother fucker and his art or style made no difference.

More talking shit, without any basis in fact. the UFC gave KIMO a ranking in Tae Kwon Do , in reality Kimo was just a street fighter and big. What better way to PROVE that Gracie Jiu Jitsu was effective? Here's another point of fact for you Lenny, Kimo Leopoldo is now a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, why do you think he trained 7 plus years to get it?

Speaking of early UFC, look at Tank Abbott. No style whatsoever, just a big mean fucking dude who beat the living shit out of alot of guys who had spent years in dojos and gyms.
My point is, that some people are just plain bad mother fuckers, and other people can train for years in every art there is and they'll still be pussies.

Yah, and when Tank came up and fought a Brazilian by the name of Vitor Belfort, he got his ass KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT. Let's not forget when Frank Mir, a BJJ BLack Belt, tapped out Tank Abbot with a fucking toe hold/ankle lock and Omo Plata combination. Yah, good example there. Everyone talks about the plain bad ass mother fuckers, when in reality not many exist.
Grappling works, and it's not about fighting on the ground, it's about getting up and keep
your opponent on the ground. BJJ, Sambo, Judo (emphasis on Ne Waza), you can't go wrong.
