im sure there were def some people who had never heard of brazilian jiujitsu and searched it out to train but to say royce gracie "changed fighting" more than anyone in "centuries" sounds like some joe rogan hyperbole. mma certainly changed the landscape of combat sports and royce was the first...
i'm 100% serious. have you gone outside in the last 30 years? there aren't a million royce gracies kneebarring homeless people on the sidewalk. street fights look exactly the same as they did pre-UFC
if sergey spivac is top ten, it's a terrible time for HW's. only time worse is maybe early 2010's when guys like roy nelson and brendan schaub were ranked.
he needs to be fast tracked. he's in mid-30's which isn't a huge problem at HW but it's not great either. i'd like him to get a path similar to gane's. less wrestlers.
name one shot felder. name one "good shot" williams even threw let alone landed. he did absolutely nothing but wrestle which is like the 4th most important scoring criteria
