Do you know this guy? The real Gracie Terminator.
Brazil BJJ Open 1998.
Wallid Ismail " Carlson Gracie Team" vs Royce Gracie "Barra Gracie Team".
Royce was 3 time UFC champion.
Wallid has wins over Royce Gracie, Ralph Gracie, Renzo Gracie, Ryan Gracie .
But Royce was never a high level Jiu-Jitsu player. I don't think he had any competitive experience as a Black-Belt. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, when Rorion asked Rigan and Jean-Jacques Machado to help Royce with his training against his upcoming fight with Kerr they both told me how surprise they were at the low level Royce was at. They said they would rank him as an advance Purple Belt.
Why Rorion, easily the most savvy of the Gracies, allowed Royce to go against a proven beast like Wallid is beyond me. During that time I had left Rickson's school and was training at the Machado's in Redondo Beach and the jokes they made about Royce and the clock choke were brutal and relentless.
BTW, GJJ, we're about the same age and you are from Brasil. Did you know Rolls Gracie? He was the only one that could beat Rickson and many considered him the best of them all.
