So if in the UFC 1 finals it was royce vs igor instead who you guys think would win and why, also if it was a grappling match strictly who would win then? my thoughts are probably Igor both ways but Im biased and a white belt lol

For a number of factors, I go with Igor. However I can see circumstances where Royce wins.
Didn't know who igor was. Just googled him. Dude is a beast!
Igor. Igor is a bear. Even now.
The Gracies have a habit of letting their limbs be broken and not caring.
I think UFC 1 rules Royce would win, it just would not be at all pretty.
Igor
Royce never gets it to the ground. Igor beats the hell outta Royce on the feet.
I'de like to see any gracie vs Gokor.
I could see Rickson, Relson, Ralph, or maybe Royler winning, but not Royce.
Royce's gi would definitely fuck him in this matchup.
Don't know much about Igor. Based on only that video, I would go with Royce.
He won't need to tap if he's knocked out cold.Quote:

^ as we know adcc isnt mma or Marcelo would rule that world too
Igor via rape choke first round 0.05 in
Marcelo looked great in his MMA match. If the other guy hadn't lucked out and drew blood, he definitely would have lost. Marcelo was winning the fight the whole way up until Dae Won Kim drew blood and if you watch the match again you will notice that Marcelo was on his way to sweeping that fool before they stopped it. Also, Royler Gracie has fought 4 hour long bareknuckle brawls with some of the best Lute Livre fighters in Brazil and came out victorious. Do some research before you count that dude out. Everyone made a big deal about Eddie tapping out Royler for a reason. The man still trains 10 hours a day and he started learning Jiu Jitsu when he was 3 years old.
