How Royce Gracie Won the UFC, Move by Move

Rorion Gracie sits down with Royce Gracie to walk through every UFC victory, one by one. Not highlights. Not commentary. Royce physically demonstrates each finish on the mat, showing exactly what he set up, how each opponent reacted, and where the fight ended. Art Jimmerson panicked in the mount and gave up. Ken Shamrock went for the foot and Royce took his back for the choke.

Gerard Gordeau, Jason DeLucia, Remco Pardoel, Pat Smith - Royce goes through each one. Some ended from the mount with strikes forcing a turn. Others ended from guard with a leg over the head. A few opponents thought they were escaping and walked into the finish anyway. Rorion points out that everything Royce used in those fights is the same movement covered in the Gracie Jiu Jitsu Intermediate series.

Dan Severn is the one that stands out. Severn got on top and Royce spent most of that fight on the bottom, waiting. He explains how he made his hand easy to come inside, locked the legs, and caught the triangle. Severn tried to lean out, tried to escape, tried different directions. None of it worked.
