This is the fight I want to see. Eddie and Royce, sub-only, no time limit, in the GI!!
I'd pay $50 for that fight alone on a PPV stream.

No
Why in the gi?
I couldn't think of anything worse. Royce needs to be remembered for all the good he did for BJJ, not the crazy fruit loop he has become.
Hey man, sometimes legends turn out to be douches. Like Michael Jordan. It doesn't change what they've done. Their accomplishments will always exist. Their reputation doesn't need to be protected by anyone but themselves. I'll always appreciate that the Gracies brought BJJ to the masses, but the more we find out about them.....well, yeah. I appreciate that they brought BJJ to the masses. LOL.Quote:

His whole thing was that he's witnessed the evolution of Jordan and witnessed his growth as a more closed-off individual. One thing of his that I agree with is the sense that we should respect people and admire their accomplishments, but shouldn't put it in the same category as a human being or character. For example, Marcelo would destroy any one he went against, but his attitude is the guy that would just as warmly greet a white belt as he would a world-champion black belt that visited his school. He's a helluva grappler and a genuinely good dude. Eddie's the same way. Eddie goes around like Marcelo does and shakes peoples hands. You get the sense that your presence is welcomed on their mats. It's a humbling experience. That's not always the case though. Royce does need to be remembered for his accomplishments. He's done so much for jiu jitsu and mma, as well as jiu jitsu in MMA, and that can never be discounted. We're all here because of him. It's sad to see him act in ways that he does, but let's not forget that his dad was the kind of guy to pick a fight with guys even into his 90's. As long as we keep those things into perspective, and don't put'em on too much of a pedestal, we can respect what they've done, honor them to the extent with which they can not be denied, and move on with our lives. Don't have to be boys with the guy. As Joakim Noah, the Bulls Center, once said when he was asked how he felt about being booed loudly on the road:Quote:

I agree. Hell no to this! Especially the gi part. Where did that come from?
Hell no
First of all, not going to happen. Royce wanted Vale Tudo rules. Secondly, no. Just no.
+1 why pay to watch the sport degress?Quote:

There's a psychological term for when you challenge or create a situation that is highly unlikely to happen or absolutely certain never to happen to make oneself feel a sense of false/inflated security, but it eludes me. Anyone with an expansive vocabulary on psyche terms feel free to chime in here.
Might as well have challenged Eddie to an ABB rules match.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doRH5RP7_1s
This was in regards to the Vale Tudo rules challenge by Royce to Eddie, not to the OP.
Regardless of the responses, I seriously think everybody would want to see it, but definitely not in a Gi.
I don't give a shit if they wore batman outfits! I'd love to see it. Royce don't want that! But it makes a good read in Gracie magQuote:
