		Shamrock then grabbed royces ankle and sat back to attempt the same finishing hold he used to finish his first match, but royce rolled on top of him and secured a rear choke that forced Shamrock to tap the mat in submission.
		In the finals, Royce was again outweighed by 40 pounds, but defeated Savate World Champion Gerard Gordeau (who broke his hand in the first round of the tournament against Teila Tuli), taking his opponent to the ground and securing a rear choke.

	Working Out With Royce Gracie
		Gracie also perfected the arm bar, where you grab a guys hand, put your feet over their shoulder and lean back and try to wrench their shoulder socket apart.
		The Gracie family started conducting national tournaments in Brazil, where there were no rules and no pads, except that you couldn't poke in the eyes or bite.
		The Gracies have become masters in arranging their bodies into levers such that their chokes threaten to squeeze their opponent's head off and arm bars or leg bars provide the same pain at the racks did in medieval times.

	SportsFilter: Royce Gracie Returns to UFC in May (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Royce Gracie Returns to UFC in May : The dude that held the Ultimate Fighting Championship for its first 3 years defeating dudes twice his size (they didn't have weight classes at the time) is coming back to vie for the welterweight title.
		Gracie and his opponent would spend 10 minutes lying on the mat, twisting and turning, trying to get a grip on the other guy's arm/leg/neck, when suddenly there would be a double-tap and the match would be over.
		Gracie's success in the past was because the relatively unskilled tough guys he was fighting were not very good and his skill worked against the inexperienced who did not know how to defend against it.

	ROYCE GRACIE ARTICLE - SubFighter.com
		Royce's displays at the UFC were marked by the use of pure Jiu-Jitsu, without any influence from other martial arts.
		Royce, of course, hasn't become a Chute Boxe specialist, but his game is more aggressive and prepared for these days.
		The fight - later to be known as Royce's last UFC presentation - ended as a draw after 30 minutes plus a five-minute extra-time, and pretty much saw nothing but the American all crumpled up in Gracie's guard, blocking Royce's hips to avoid any dangerous locks.

	Royce Gracie Suspended, Fined For Steroids \| TheSweetScience.com Boxing
		Royce Gracie is 6'1" and used to fight around 180 lbs (81.8 kg) With Royce being built the way he is he had to drop weight to fight Matt Hughes (talk about a funny looking fight where a great fighter seemingly intentionally breaks his guard, gives his arm and his back).
		I personally think Royce and the Gracie team could kick ass but they are a family of pride (they have no reason not to be) if they just evolved with the commercial fighting arena.
		Why would the all-time MMA towel-tosser (Royce Gracie) use steroids is beyond me. If Royce was not using illegal steroids, he would probably have 6 to 8 additional losses by towel toss.

	Royce Gracie--The Forgotten Warrior who Built the UFC Octagon
		Gracie (in his prime) fought back when there were no weight classes, no gloves over your knuckles, no one card fights, and back when there were virtually no rules.
		This was the last time we'd see Royce in battle except for UFC 60 in which a much older Gracie was brought back to fight in what seemed more of a publicity stunt by the new owners of the UFC, but this was not the same fighter as he was in 1993-1995.
