This. And it wasn't supposed to be Royce in there to begin with, Rickson was going to be the one that they showcased. They put Royce in the tournaments because he was so small that his Jiu-Jitsu would look better when he beat people.
To add they made sure that the match ups were favorable to Royce seeing as that this was suppose to be a showcase for the best martial arts style but the only submission grappler other then royce on UFC 1 was Ken Shamrock who was choked out by the Gi and had no clue wtf happen lol.
They knew better then to let a black belt Judoka in the tourny because it would make Gracie JJ look bad being that Royce was actually the worst out of the brothers
