Irrelevant? WTF??Royce is just mad because his family is irrelevant these days.

You whipper snappers don't know how easy you have it. When Grandpappy Royce was a boy he walked to and from the favela in the snow, up hill, BOTH WAYS!
All of these fighters/coaches/gym owners owe their livelihood to the Gracies.
You sure? Aside from judo/sambo and cacc for submission grappling majority trains bjj. There's only 2 schools: Gracie and Franca.No they don't.
I see his point but had he fought skilled guys who trained in strikes and BJJ, wrestling etc, in his day then he would have been calling for weight classes and rules and refs...he fought a lot of people who had no idea of the ground game...Q. Which MMA do you like more, this MMA, or the MMA in the nineties?
A. Back then it was no, ah, hmm — it was no bullshit. In a street fight there is no time-limit, no weight division, you don’t choose your opponent. So today I see fighters complain ‘Oh my god, my opponent’s a pound over the weight!’ — Really?
(This gets some laughs in the room, from the two guys in the office we crashed. One of whom I now think is Mike Johnson, of recent Conor McGregor fame).
‘He didn’t make weight, he’s a pound over, I don’t wanna fight him.’ C’mon man. That’s why I say all the time, somebody walk down the street, pinch your girlfriend, your wife on the buns, what’re you gonna do? You’re gonna come up to him and ask him, ‘Excuse me, how much do you weigh? What belt are you?' Sorry, he’s not in 'my division,' I’m not going to beat him up’. C’mon man.

this better? I remember an episode of Walker Texas Ranger where the Machado brothers was in it.You make it sound like the Machados didn't learn from the Gracies.

He's talking about the mentality of the fighters from the early days of mma compared to today...and he"s absolutely right.
Today's fighters are absolute pussies compared to the sports forefathers.
That’s why he’s always shitting on themModern day MMA fighters are way too much for Gracie.
Just being realistic here.
Ehh probably not. Maybe UFC 1 but only a year later everyone caught on to how dangerous the submission game could be, mighty mouse gets rolled by Abbott, Varelans, Taktarov etc in 1994-95.DJ would beat the guys Royce was fighting during the early UFC era minus maybe the couple guys that had actual skill like Shamrock and Severn.
