Royce Gracie's frist opponent

This guy was Gracie's first opponent ever in the UFC.

Man UFC was cool back then, I wish it was still that way.

|||ufc were racists back then, they put a huge american "fighter" to beat up shorter and smaller fighter from another country which they hate. have you seen the fight between reza nasri and john johnstone in ufc 11? brian johnston vs reza nasri, johnston was 6'4 (194cm) and 222 lbs, while nasri was like 6'0 and 170 lbs|||

I've totally got to disagree with you on this one Christmas2009. I've actually wrote an article about the old UFC, and the misguided thought of it being a "David vs. Goliath" scenario. You know that the Gracie family, namely Rorion Gracie, was who created the UFC (Brazilians). It was Rorion's idea, he just got some money backing from Art Davie. The thing about them fighting big guys was just to prove that Gracie Jujitsu was truly the best. Basically, the old UFC's were pretty much a giant advertisement and commercial for Gracie Jujitsu, and it worked! Look at how many people paid big money to go down to Brazil and be trained, how many Gracie Jujitsu gyms have been opened in America. The Gracie's were great, good fighers, and they sold their system big time. But, that I know of, there was no racism involved. The fights were dominated by a small Brazilian man, but he was the favorite, not the underdog. It took America a long time to realize what was going on in there, at least 3 UFC's.|||^ that was 'one glove' right?
good story (or interview, cant remember) on why he came out with his one glove & his mindset that night somewhere on the interwebz. Those early events were insane.

that was the whole pt of the early UFC matchmaking, to try & match style on style w/o regard to size... the ageless question of 'who would win?'.
it was discipline vs discipline to prove size did not matter, or that 'my style was better than yours' & like Xmas said, its exactly what the gracies wanted.
