Looks like a genuine laugh to me.  No one takes training seriously.

laughing is the only thing he can do
hes facing a 400 pounds 6'8 man, arguably the strongest man in the world
basicly a real life version of that game of throne character

he could pick royce up with one hand, smash him on the ground and crush his skull by way of stomping

That's why size and strength always trump technique.

Royce would put him to sleep quickly. You guys are either ignorant, delusional or know nothing about the fight game.

Royce these days?  He might win in submission grappling in a gi.  

But not in MMA and especially not in MMA where Royce isn't wearing the gi.

For reference, see Bob Sapp vs Big Nog back when Big Nog was in his prime.  And don't think you'll find many folks that will argue that Big Nog in his prime wasn't a lot better at MMA than Royce ever was.   Which means light years better than the current old man who's way past his sell-date version of Royce.

I guess that's why combat sports don't have weight classes, right? lol

Seriously, though.  Royce wouldn't only be giving up a whole lot of size, weight, and strength to this Oberst dude -- Royce is also almost nearly 50 years old.

technique matters to a point, but when you're fighting a bear of a human being whose limbs absolutely refuse to go in any of the directions you're pulling them with a neck so thick he can flex it and you can't choke him out, you're pretty much sunk. no doubt royce could get oberst in a rear choke but five seconds later when royce's skull is part of the floor it's not gonna matter.

The bigger skilled guy always beats the smaller skilled guy , obviously.

The smaller skilled guy can beat the bigger unskilled guy, but with great effort and maybe some trouble.

Size is only an advantage if you know how to use it.

Royce was never into competitive BJJ even in his prime. He competed while growing up and did a match against Wallid Ishmael but he was
never known, or claimed, to be a BJJ champ.

He would not do well in either MMA of BJJ today. The guy is almost 50 years old now. He competed back 1993. His time has passed and he freely admits it. Nog was a way better fighter when both were in their prime.

He more than made his mark in MMA.

royce is more of a "master" now like dan inosanto

only difference is that we have a good level of certainty royce can actually fight
