heres a fubby story,you guys remember oleg taktarov?he was a sambo dude with a solid chin,anyway,he was trying to get in ufc 2 and rorion said no for the reason of he knew oleg was a leg lock expert who could do damage to royce,everyone knows that bjj had a weakness and that was leg locks,these days all bjj schools teach leg locks but back then they frowned on them and didnt like them.oleg finally got his shot in the ufc but gracie jiu jitsu was already on the map and royce was the man so at that point it didnt matter if oleg came into the octagon.if you really think about it no one back then had a ground game in ufc except shammy.i got some more good stories about the old ufc,s and some of the recent ones also
