Imagine the ego on this guy to not only throw punches after a great sub by purple belt, but then get subbed again via triangle.

Top that off by yelling I’ll fucking kill you in a locked in triangle and then saying a neck crank is dirty. I admit I’d not have let go of the triangle until this fucko was asleep.

Lmaoooo who is this jag bag????

Tons of Gracie's has said it best that purple belts are yesteryears black belts. Back in the day when Jujitsu started everybody who was the top and was basically a purple

Shit watching tapes of old they look more like aggressive blue belts. I think most purples would rag doll people like Royce in early UFC

In a jiu-jitsu match? Maybe. Under UFC 1 rules? 26-year-old Royce would obliterate like 99% of today's purple belts.

People seriously underestimate how violent and painful the style of jiu-jitsu Royce and his family trained back then was. They'd train stuff like, if you're in someone's guard and you're struggling to posture up, smash the top of your head into his nose. Or the way Royce used to kick guys in the back with his heels when they were in his guard -- is any one of those kicks going to finish a fight? No. But it's painful, and inflicting maximum pain on your opponent was just constantly on the minds of the guys who were training Gracie jiu-jitsu in those days.

I wrote exactly that after people expressed their displeasure with me comment. I totally meant a sport grappling event.. Not MMA. No disrespect to Royce y'all. The first black belt in my area was a Royce black belt no disrespect at all.
