This is 100% true!
Met Royce twice at seminars in the late 90s.
Arrogant is all I can say.
I paid a couple hundred dollars for each seminar and he acted like he was put out to be there.
Forget about asking him a question or approaching him in any way.
Rorion on the other had was extremely nice and very cordial.
Royce's biggest fan is himself.
Eddie would put him in a wheelchair.
Royce really shouldn't be threatening anybody past blue belt. Lol
After his BJJ match against Wallid Ismael in the late 90s (where he was put to sleep by Wallid in an arena in Brazil), Wallid commented that he was surprised at Royce's poor performance and said even blue belts should have been able to defend the choke he used.
It's Sad. A lot of people got into BJJ because of Royce. It's like he is trying everything he can to poison his legacy.
Really disappointing behavior.
If the Gracie name were a stock, the price would be plummeting right now.
I am hoping that Eddie's display of skill, effectiveness of 10th Planet and extreme level of sportsmanship will help serve that family (Helios side anyway) some humble pie!
Well done Eddie. You've made us all proud!!!!!
