If you read my post which you quoted, I said Royce most likely would've beaten a fresh Gordeau as well. Royce was the only one who had trained all his life for true no-holds-barred type events. But one-gloved Jimmerson was a joke (he probably would've even lost to the sumo) and a 1st round Gordeau would've been much more dangerou.

Jimmerson or any other boxer for that matter would have lost regardless. He's the one who chose to come out with one glove. It was important to have him there because at that time the majority of Americans still believed boxing was superior to other martial arts. Grappling wasn't respected the way it is today. Even today you still see people fantasizing about boxers beating MMA guys in a street fight, even on sherdog (see the reactions to Ngannou's loss to Joshua).

No pure striker was winning that tournament. Another BJJ practitioner definitely could have, maybe a high level judo or sambo guy. But the Gracies did it first and the rest is history.

US has a free speech anything goes approach? Seems the exact opposite to me.

Free speech… as long as the deep state agrees with what you’re saying. Then they’ll pressure
the former Twitter, IG, FB to delete and/or censor your posts.

What exactly did Royce do after a 13-month win streak in the earliest UFCs...in which they intentionally didn't invite guys like Ruas, Oleg Taktarov, etc, much less other BJJ fighters? He had to cheat to win his biggest fights later (roided for Sakuraba rematch, knee'd Ken Shamrock in the groin in their final fight). I guess he was just keeping up with the Gracie family tradition.

I've wondered the same thing. Also I thought they didn't test for it.

That was on Dynamite card in LA. K1/EliteXC couldn't work around CSAC.

Not sure what the point of this post is when I literally just pointed out that another BJJ guy or a high level sambo or judo guy could have won the tournament. Royce was specifically chosen because he was smaller and weaker than other Gracies, to display how BJJ was superior to other martial arts. It did exactly that, and is the martial art virtually everyone trains in today.

They even call Kimura a Jui-Jitsu fighter, which Rener certainly knows the difference. Kimura was a judoka, but they called him a JJ fighter so as not to tarnish their propaganda that no other style can beat JJ

Did the same thing when Matt Hughes beat him. Called it a victory for jiu jitsu since Hughes used jits in their fights lol

WHERES MY JRE FRIDAY EPISODE, JOE?

jor rogan strokin in the woods with a crossbow smh.

NoStoneUnturned said:

The one question Rogan won't ask is why he felt the need to go full juicer against Sakuraba. One of the weirdest moments in the history of MMA. If there was a dude who I would've said wouldn't take steroids, it was Royce. It was one of those moments where I thought well f$ck, everyone's an asshole. Royce is human, but damn it sure was disappointing.

What does this even mean?

But why would new subscribers join spotify just to listen to Rogan when they can listen to him on other platforms? Trying to understand what Spotify gains here by not having exclusive rights.

Advertisers probably.

The Joe Rogan Experience had around 190 million monthly downloads on average pre-Spotify deal. CNN reported that nearly half (approximately 42%) of Spotify's podcast listeners tuned into the Joe Rogan Experience show. The episodes with Jordan Peterson are some of the most listened to with over 9 million views each.

That's from April. Sounds like they've probably already made their investment back or will soon so they probably don't need to continue spending for exclusivity. or risk losing him

He's my favorite. And if Saku was taking PEDs, he clearly wasn't doing it right.

Royce weighed in that sakurabs fight at 188 lbs 10 lbs heavier than he was for any other fight with veins in his arms
