the big winner!

hey gang,
sorry I posted this right before the race started, I woke up late today... TS dominated the whole race, which was pretty clear he would. I guess that why I got only 6 views for my first winning day in a while.... Now I hate mentioning bets I didn't post, but I put down 5 bets on UFC pride fighting, and all 5 of them won. Begninner's luck? They all seemed very easy to pick, like "500 pound black guy with black belt in judo, or 150 pound white guy with an anger problem" Anyone have any experience picking these?
...THey were entertainment bets, since I was gong to order the pride championships. Does anyone bet on UFC? I put a lot of money on "rampage" to win, which inevitably he did. Anyway, I might start posting these matchup picks whenever the next UFC is... (not for awhile)

Do you know a site Jake that has the results from the Shamrock/ Gracie bout earlier this month in SJ ???
Or do you know who won ??

hey Tom Foolery...

I believe he tied. Apparently it was a long and boring match.

Royce vs. Shamrock — S U P E R F I G H T :

Shamrock wanted to settle the score with Royce ever since his loss to Royce in the first UFC. In the UFCs after Shamrock's defeat, Shamrock entered the UFC to hope to fight in the tournament format to eventually settle his score with Royce. "Royce beat me clean. I underestimated his abilities and was careless," admitted Shamrock in regard to his loss to Royce in the first UFC. The Superfight was the perfect venue to settle the score with Royce.

Shamrock looked more muscular than the first match with Royce and stepped into the octagon wearing black bikini trunks, wrestling shoes and knee pads. As usual, Royce entered wearing a white judo gi with his family's emblem emblazoned on the back.

As expected, the fight went to the ground. Royce had Shamrock in his guard for the first 31 minutes. Shamrock was content to stay in Royce's guard. This time, Shamrock simply tucked his head down onto Royce's head and waited Royce out. It was apparent that this tactic would allow Shamrock a draw under the rules of the Superfight if he made no mistakes. Shamrock threw some punches into Royce's ribs but Royce neutralized the attacks easily as Royce spent the majority of the fight kicking the back of Shamrock with his heel and palm striking Shamrock's head, and consistently applying a choke with the edge of his elbow into Shamrock's throat.

After 31 minutes, the referee broke them up and restarted the fight into overtime with both of them standing. Shamrock crossed the octagon and faced Royce. Royce quickly lashed out with a side kick at Shamrock. It was followed up by a slap at Shamrock's face. Shamrock countered weakly with a punch and missed. Royce kicked low again and closed the distance on Shamrock. As Royce came in with the kick, Royce followed with a straight punch which missed. Shamrock almost simultaneously followed up Royce's punch with his own straight or overhand right hand. The strike hit Royce above the eye. Royce shot in for the clinch, but Shamrock countered again just like in their first match by holding Royce around the shoulder area.

Royce quickly countered by sitting back and pulling Shamrock into his guard. Shamrock's punch had given Royce a "mouse" under one eye which ballooned rapidly. Shamrock headbutted Royce to try to get at Royce's ballooning eye. Royce appeared dazed and spent time defending his bruised eye which Shamrock tried to irritate withh headbutts and his hand.

With the stalemate and time running out again, the fight was pronounced a tie. It appeared that Shamrock fought his game plan of using the same waiting game that Royce and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters used against larger opponents.

This was to be Royce's last fight to date. He refused to enter the octagon as time limits hindered his ability to defeat often larger and stronger opponents. The justification was that time limits would result in a tie or if it came to judges' decision, he may lose to an opponent. This assumption has been born out by bjj fighters losing in the UFC, fighting under time limits and judges' decisions.

After Royce fought Shamrock in the Super Fight, Royce Gracie walked out of the Octagon, with a string of victories, one tie, and one technical loss when he couldn't continue fighting after his victorious bout with Kimo.
