Gordeau, the king of eye gouging.
You mean gouging but over 100 people agree with you misspelling or not. 😆
An example of a man who fought, lost and then ego would not let him learn and adapt.
duaplex1 yes, I came here just to agree with the comments exposing this coward.
Gracie doesn't take losing well either.
He was a fucking cunt
Learn and adapt,? Guess you didn't watch the whole video then....
He was easily the most talented standup fighter in UFC 1 and could've become much better, but as you said, Ego did hold him back.
He used tactics meant for a life and death situation. He's a warrior, but pulling that shit in competitions was just disgusting. Permanently blinding someone who is competing against you is just too far. I can understand if on the street and someone pulled a gun and was threatening your life, but in a competitive situation?! Fucking horrible!
I think the guy forgave him for it. He said like well yeah iam 3 times bigger what do you except him to do... He could crush his bones to.
It’s not his fault. No rules is no rules. He came to win unfortunately he lost.. But I do get your opinion
@@deeezknucks4590 - Except that Vale Tudo Japan 1995 (the tournament where said incident occurred) DID have rules against eye gouging. So the move was illegal.
@@deeezknucks4590 they had rules. don t bite. son t spit. don t rip the traheea. in combat sports you have 5 supporters. the laws on contest, the arbiter, the public, your team and the equipment yoe wear it. so....it s a sport, not a death race.
BUT, he could’ve let go over his leg to.
Taught John Jones everything he knows
Besides how to be the greatest fighter ever
Jones will have to pass the torch soon....Gerard....to Jones....to......
Illegal 12-6 elbows?
@@andrebeaudoin1060 ...Logan Paul
@@johnnykurplutzo6789 Stupid rule
After knowing he bit Gracie and blinded Nakai I love watching him tap frantically twenty different times when Royce choked him out. He likes to fancy himself seem like some pioneer and he he had a history I'm Euro tournaments but he's a marginal talent in MMA at best.
What's sad is that Bas Rutten is friends with this guy and never had a bad thing to say about him. He purposely blinded a man (Yuki Nakai). I can understand if it was in a self-defense situation, but it was in a match where eye gouging was prohibited. I couldn't be friends with someone that vile.
It appears he is also a Nazi. That first fight it looks like he does a Nazi salute. Also, there is a photo of him with a swastika on his arm...
Hed fuck you up.
@@NathanPsprague so what
That was a new style to him. Plus he was older than Gracie… he was already hurt before he fought Gracie with the gee which is no longer allowed.. Flying Dutchman… everybody loses a fight. But not everyone has a gold medal.
When you blind someone half your size and still lose lol. What a coward. No honor, no care for the well being of his opponent. Sanctioned fighting needs a certain amount of respect. This guy deserves to be banned from all pro fighting events.
Half his size? Maybe your exaggerating he was shorter obviously but not half
he didn't even eye gouge.. he repeatedly punched someone in the face..
Later this person got an eye infection and didnt get it treated, so he got blind.
Funny how the truth often gets so twisted.
@@Unidentifying he stuck his thumb in his eye he even dmitted it
Casper Ablij you are truly an imbecile. It was painfully obvious how malicious his intent was. Even a Neanderthal could understand what he did was wrong, but go ahead and look up the definitions of my big words so you understand what I said and try to come up with an idiotic response.
@@Unidentifying He not only jammed his thumb in his eye, but then he grabbed his head and started grinding it on the ropes. He didn't bite Royce Gracie either. Oh and Gilbert Yvel didn't eye gauge the shit out of Don Frye either.
Not a sportsman that's for sure.
If it was Rickson Gracie it would have been over in seconds.
Pedro Sepulveda no he didn’t, are you stupid
@César Rabbit Sure they did. I never said how many seconds.
@César Rabbit How many seconds then 7300? 14,234?
@César Rabbit 12 minutes is 7200 seconds. I never said how many seconds they lasted. I'm just messing. I hear you as he was no knock out artist.
Still living in his own fantasy world.
As if yours isn't a simulation
@UCxs8CeMPt97CXYM2VZv24jQ shut yo clown as up
3:09 Eye Gouge pratice?
Biting
@@qanon3028 lol
That dude whose only half this guy's size still beat this guy but unfortunately had permanent vision loss in the eye. Not cool on Gerard's part. Should be permanently banned from competing but he quit anyway.
Yeah someone in the back room is practicing Gordeau's signature technique: biting.
😂 😂 made Gerard proud that one
What the hell kind of judo did he do that he never saw a choke?
He probably did few classes
and fooled around in untrained wrestling with gi thought it was judo
Probably IJF style. Win by penalties.
@@Darren_Tay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥇
He would have had Judo from being under Bluming, until there was a massive fall-out between the two.
"...biting is biting, I like biting." that's all I heard
You should watch it again and listen closely.
An eye for an eye has never seemed more pertinent, but I’m glad we can focus more on celebrating Yakai as a warrior than considering this man a total disgrace
"I fight more than 20 yrs. Every style there is." what a bunch of bs. If this was true he would have won. Yet he never won anything significant.
big dog he did fight and lost in a couple ufcs if I remember. He didnt even know what a sprawl was.
@@mac3770 As far as his UFC career is concerned, he only fought at UFC 1, beating both Teila Tuli and Kevin Rosier and losing in the finals to Royce Gracie.
He fought in kyokushin , thai boxing , savate and k1, do some research.Also he was runner-up at very first ufc with broken hand and with tooth stucked in his foot.Yes he was dirty, but also he had some balls.
Broken knuckles after 2 fights lost the third to Gracie = ard kunt In my eyes.....
@@gangstaman2069 dirty balls
When two men agree to fight in a sports setting with rules like no eye pokes, they go into the ring knowing they won't be blinded, by putting your thumb into someone's eye in a fight you are saying fuck the rules I'm going to blind my opponent cause why the fuck not, at that moment it's not sports, it's not a contest of who is better no you just made it personal by trying to injure me, so if for some reason I get you in a choke or an armlock don't go crying to no referee that I wouldn't let go and that your arm is broke
Gerard Gordeau is a douche.
Alex Scott ya name is Alex Scott stfu

@@chriscuts7029 that’s actually funny! 🤣
You know he's talking in a second language, right?
Where can I take classes for Crazy Jiu Jitsu??
Visit CrazyUniversity.com
They send you your blue belt via post.
I remember this guy.... He used bite the ears and gouged a guy once which caused him to be blind
This dude permanently blinded an opponent by repeatedly gouging his eyes. Pure garbage.
Not his fault that his opponent ""martial arts"" was trash
Tbh I dont get why something stupid and suicidical as bjj should be allowed in mma, allowing eye gouging would totally destroy bjj without causing other problem (true martial arts defend themself from eyegouging by not being a joke like bjj)
@@stylesheetra9411 because everybody is vulnerable to being eye gouged, testicle ripped, bitten or kicked in the head while unconscious at some point no matter how good you are or what style you have. If you do that against the rules they are not expecting it and cannot properly defend. You agreed to not do these moves because they can kill or maim people for life, so you have no honor at all.
It's like saying I hid a knife in my shorts, pulled it out and stabbed him, but that's ok because he should have seen it coming even though I agreed to no weapons and we were wrestling. But I wanted to win so I cheated.
Not to mention most the fighters in the world would be blind, as it would only ever take one mistake ever in your whole career to lose your eye. This style of fighting existed at one point and became illegal because of how many people got hurt for no reason. Even the best fighters of all time still made mistakes, it is impossible to be perfect.
By your logic Silva, St Pierre should be blind because they made a single mistake in a fight.
So yeah it is his fault and its cowardly and deserves jail actually.
@@gwailowvonrollshambole2003 that is why martial arts are usually stand up and they dont throw random punches and they prefer defense, just like true fencing etc, ground game are a suicide
It's true that it went agaisnt the rule, and I paid for it, but its a huge burden remembering every single rule during a fight, even more were the enemies isnt even fighting but just exploiting the rules just like sport bjj
@@stylesheetra9411
Ancient greeks practiced wrestling because real fights do end up on the ground. Pretty sure they fought real wars. And they did it all the time.
And guess what they banned eye gouges and biting from their fighting competitions too.
Only Sparta allowed it, and they were eventually defeated despite being highly skilled. So much for that theory.
Remembering not to gouge your opponent's eyeball is not hard.
It's not an accident either you have to intentionally shove your thumb in someone's eye and apply pressure. Knowing you might blind them for life.
Exactly its a sport, not a war if you cannot remember not to maim someone during a sporting contest you don't belong there.
You want to play in real life and death scenarios to be a real fighter join a current war and volunteer for the front lines.
There are no excuses here. The guy who paid for it is the guy who is partially blind.
@@gwailowvonrollshambole2003 pankration was a sport, not even a martial arts, obv that eye gouging etc were banned, they can never be part of a sport.
Also I don't get why "Pretty sure they fought real wars" every society fought wars, none of them fought barehanded tho, same thing with martial arts, they werent used in wars, they only needed to teach the forma mentis (only ma ever used in war were jousting, archery, meanwhile in duel fencing was used in europe and jiujustu for japan, maybe kendo too but idk)
pankration was similar to gladiator fight, a sport, none would ever go to war with a net lmao
war, like real fight, were actually quite boring, none of the shit you find in hollywood, everyone fought in formation and when the formation broke you would escape, things like hema are basically fantasy and they never existed
a true fight is a bit like a small war, boring with people going for low risk low reward moves (funnily the things that is closer to this is hw boxing)
Also I don't think people should bling other people in mma, but for god sake you can allow something stupid like some bjj on the ring imo, just look at khabib vs mcgregor that isn't even a fight lmao (and no I don't like conor at all, I don't like the whole superstar thing in any sport and khabib is superior even while standing), is just an exploit of the rules, just like guard pulling/jumping in bjj, flicking in fencing etc
Art Davie contacted Dutch trainers with hopes of getting Peter Aerts or Ernesto Hoost for UFC 1 but he was told that Gerard Gordeau was better suited for it and that when anyone owed debt in Holland that they would send Gordeau to collect the money.
He definitely doesn't seem like a chap you'd want to be on the wrong side of.
I hear all this shit talk about how he is a dirty fighter but y'all realize UFC 1 was NO HOLDS BARRED in the truest sense it was a fucking street fight
This man is a shame on the sport. Not one shred of respect for this man or his "acomplishments" .
You're a shame to youtube comments. You would think a lame ass troll would get their spelling correctly or are grammar and spelling nazis Cancel cultured as well. Hone your craft gayboy.
He is a pos Neo-Nazi
for sure, no one should give anything nor any shred of respect
WTF he thinks he's the best? The best at what? Maybe in cowardice!
Randomista,.....so, you've fought in no rules fights against 250 pound Tongans and the like yourself then, (among your hundreds of fights in every style and ruleset known to man..), you big brave fellow...?(!!).... In a real valid position to comment on the levels of courage that lie within a man whom you'd likely be shaking and shitting yourself just standing near(!!), then, aren't you, you quaint little chap...... Your comment is the most ridiculous and innately contradictory statement or comment that I have seen anyone ever write, as it is impossible for anything to be any more so whatsoever....likely could lower peoples IQ just reading it..(!!)
He blind a man in a fight.
How exactly did the Gracies rig their matches you dumb fuck.
@@simpsthreedee3818 because they always staged it where Royce would always get an easy first round opponent, or a bunch of people who had no experience fighting on the ground where he would not burn a lot of energy up before the finals . Art Jimmerson (boxing only and wearing a glove during the fight ), That Japanese karate guy in UFC 2, pre-Lion's Den era Jason Delucia (Kung Fu only) and a 50+ year old (Royce was only in his mid to late 20s) Ron Van Damme (kickboxing only.) The two fights with Ken don't count because Ken would have destroyed Royce if Gracie was not wearing a gee, Same with Severn.
@lolguy trolguy Awww, poor Gracies couldn't handle a little bite?
That head kick in ufc 1 really shook people up. God damn tho... he let everybody know this shit was serious.
Legit! You could see that clearly in UFC1. The guy was dangerous and calm in combat.
Also a neo-nazi
I don't condone or approve of him biting Royce or gouging Yuki, but aside from all that, this guy is one of the biggest badasses in martial arts. Absolutely cold and ruthless. When he isn't cheating, of course.
Yeah but he is probably a psychopath that's why he is cold and ruthless he doesn't regret blinding a man
3:09 someone get their arm cut off or something?
I think Royce would have known his hand was injured by watching the previous fight. He squeezed his hand because as Gerard says, you do whatever you need to do in a fight.
He also bit Royce's ear.
Grabbing someones hand when you are a jiu jitsu guy is literally something you would expect but biting and eye gouging is something only bitches do
@@punishr36 According to a man who had reason to lie about it.
Kyokushin is tough and at that time Gerard and others did not know about Jiu jiutsu. It was fun so see it.
They knew about BJJ. He trained under Bluming, whose top student Chirs Dolman kept getting ducked by the Gracie family.
Go Home Gerard Gordeau! YOUR DRUNK!
‘You’re’
Funny because he never drinks alcohol
Anybody think he still got the two teeth stuck in his foot from first UFC fight. This guy seems a bit strange. 👨🏻💼
Only had one tooth stuck in the foot
One tooth in foot, the other in the second row
@@whatever_it_takes6691 probably so lol
He js a disgrace to martial arts. Dont know how he could have a dojo. I was sad to see him only get submitted once.
Blah blah blah
"I'm a fighter NOT a sportsman...." clear language....it's about survival by destroying guys, NOT sport!!!!
@@ireviewshtuff ^^^^This right here^^^^
If it had been a real fight he'd be dead, the guy he blinded submitted him so would have snapped his leg and then stomped him into the ground so thus guys logic just like his moral compass is skewed.
If someone tries to attack you in the street or mug you then fine by all means all bets are off.
But in a sport do me a favour he shouldn't have been allowed to teach martial arts to anyone afterwards.
It is sport hahaha what are you talking about. There's plenty of places you can go watch an actual fight but something tells me you wouldn't like that very much
@@grayalun
Well said
This guy should fight Gilbert Yvel. Both cheaters.
They're probably friends. Dirty Bob also!
Two subhumans.
This scumbag intentionally blinded another fighter in the ring and still loss the fight to a man half his size.. He said he would do it again. May Karma find you.
I got bit in the hand fighting once, and it got infected. Took a month to heal. Very nasty wound. Never punch anyone when they are down. Stomp, and kick them instead.
Typical fighter response lol . "I would have beat him if it was the first round" Wouldn't matter, Royce mopped the floor with you. Ken had the same excuses.
Jon Jones main inspiration
Hard to imagine a tooth stuck in his foot. Someone should've taken a picture.
You literally blinded someone on purpose....
Thanks for posting
All these guys claim that they were going to fight Gracie first, but then the Gracie changed the brackets to make sure that Gracie didn't meet them first! LOL! Gracies couldn't reroute everybody! Royce went through everybody like butter!
Until Sakuraba.
Matt Hughes?
alot of yous are missing the point ... he stated when in a fight it's to survive... now biting , eye gouging whatever it's a means to survive. 2nd about the broken hand all he was stating was Gracie KNEW about his hand . Implying the doctor informed gracie about it .... even shamrock and other early UFC fighters and even the commentator have said the events and situations surrounding early UFC were fishy. Stipulations changed last minute, opponent change last min , gear and so on . They are all stating it was a giant fix in the sense of favoring gracie and B. jujutsu witch at that time no one ever had seen or fought against.... especially when you bring in a bunch of guys who have fought full contact in the past and they come in thinking it's a fight a stand up fight . No one saw that wrestling / submission style coming..... notice today not one gracie is dominant in the sport anymore or anywhere..... now that people know it's not the same ..... but the mission was accomplished . Gracie jujutsu was introduced...APPEARED dominant witch in WRESTLING was ...and the Gracie's made there millions ..... we were all Mark's and we all got worked in the early days
@big dog You guys are so mad for a guy who sucks at fighting lol Sakuraba would've turned this lil bitch into a pretzel.
Cage fights aren't "to survive".
It's a sport, and that kill or be killed mentality is psychotic.
Shit, by that logic he could just show up with a gun and shoot the dude and be like... "I survived, I win".
Bad logic, dude.
Stop it you're embarrasing yourself. This dude's dirty history went on way further than ufc1. Stop making excuses for the poor guy. He fucking bit Royce as well, just saying
fair argument, only one thing... ∈)☼(∋
Tbh this guy fought Royce with a broken hand and a hurt foot.
He is lying
@@sampokemppainen3041 No im pretty sure thats true he had that guys tooth stuck in his foot
Great video. Thanks
I've been watching fights for the past 15 years and I can't think of a meaner mofo than this psycho right here.
Not even Branko Cikatic, well maybe...
he is a winner
Sean O'Brieon no fool he will be remember as a pussy.
Earlier statements made herein were out of line; true....
( Way too drunk on fine whiskey, at the time, and take that statement back altogether...)
Either way, as fucked up as such actions and tactics ever being resorted to in MMA.....
( and, yeah....they Clearly are....), it Still stands that no "coward" would even ever Actually BE fighting in the first ever UFC event...Full stop...!!
That was my only actual main thing actually being pointed out....
Just to get the actual and factually accurate term for what that Actually Is, in that case....but "cowardice" cannot possibly be put on someone, from the safety of one's lounge chair, by those who wouldn't even dare dream of stepping in there for the first ever UFC event, without labelling themselves as hypocrites thereby....That's a simple Fact....
( I very much doubt that many ( if Any!!) of those commenting would have ever had the balls to step in there at all, in the first place...
Look at the definition of "cowardice" from dictionary.com:
" lack of courage to face danger, opposition, difficulty, pain etc.."...
As we Are speaking English here, quite clearly the one who would step into the Octagon for UFC 1 has a great deal less of that quality in their character than the many people who jump to label him as such, the vast majority of whom could never truly overcome their fears, no matter what, to be stepping in there at all...Many of them would shit just considering it in Actual Reality...Fact.
( I, for one, very much doubt that I would consider Actually, Truly stepping in there for that event...)
Ruthless personalities, and fucked up actions like those referred to, in the octagon or ring, are their own thing altogether....( like "Tyson vs Holyfield", for instance..)
As for fighting ability, my bet is that Gerard Gordeau would, without doubt, smash seven shades of shite out of 99.90 percent of the very same people attempting to label him as not being a skilled or good fighter, also.....
Otherwise, the statements/comments can have No Real accuracy, truth, validity, or reality to them whatsoever, by default...End rant.
ElephantRage dirty not mean big difference
He was the dirtiest fighter in the game. Biter and eye gouger.
I wonder how he feels, being one of the most hated fighters of classic UFC.
Lmaoo. This guy is still delusional.
Gerard has a background in judo as well. Most of the holds Gracie used come from judo. Why were so many of the early ufc judo fighters so far behind Royce in grappling?
Because judo doesn’t emphasize the ground game they emphasize throwing. The rules of the sport only allow like 10 seconds of ground game to make progress or the refs stand you up. Most judoka only have the ground game of a blue belt or purple belt in jiujitsu that’s why Royce was so dominant
Judo top level athletes go for gold medal in Olympics
Top wrestlers go for gold medal in Olympics
Top catch as can wrestlers
Go for pro wrestling and most of them try to get shoots or just do scripted
So low level judo players went against him but to be fair he isn't high level bjj player
He has no serious background in judo if he didn’t know about chokes
@@kyulee1776yes Olympic judo.
Old judo you could do everything.
doing a year of judo doesn't make you a master of the sport, you're just a beginner.
I’ve been a Kyokushin fighter and trust me.... a kickboxer gives harder leg kicks.
I've been a kickboxer for many years, and trust me, Kyokushin fighters train to kill.
Stupid arguments......
It always depends on the fighter, not the style
I think its just the dutch.. they like the low kicks :)
Its not the style its the fighter i know kyokushin fighters that are insane and would break ur leg
Filho, kazumi, pettas , greco
Andy hug disagrees
So much disrespect from all these keyboard warriors, you try being a semi finalist in a no rules, bare knuckle, martially stacked tournament, specially when you have a broken hand and and broken tooth in your foot, dirty shit happens all the time yeah maybe he shouldn’t be in professional fighting sports but this guy is a legit true grit FIGHTER, and his fight a pioneering one for mma, have some fckn respect. the Gracies aren’t all that clean either.
Imagine cheating and still losing against a smaller guy 😹
So I am a Colorado native and saw UFC 1. Gordeau was fighting with a broken foot and injured hand. It would have been a great fight against Gracie if he was not busted up.
Nah he probably would’ve get subbed just like every other time 😂
@@manolispadilla7765 I was just thinking that too. He still wouldn’t have known what to do but he would have had a better chance at getting Royce off of him.
You had to have been there.... Just like the Triology fight with Fury/Wilder that I witnessed!! 26 Hundred dollars a ticket, but well worth it.
@@terryprust9604 What do you think of Sakuraba?
@@dunsmoregaines4239 Sakarauba is one of my favorite fighters. Sakarauba beat Royce,Royler,Ryan and Renzo Gracie
Make him spar with Palhares

Gordeau vs Phalares in a death match!
Goudeau vs Teli Tuli was not the first UFC fight. Jason Delucia fought what's his face and won by RNC.
He fought Trent Jenkins
Yeah that was the alternate undercard bout
I didnt know that, is there a video of that fight?
Just a seriously and genuinely terrible human being. Just an awful person
Remember Yuki Nakai could’ve held on to your heel or ankles to permanently break your leg too . But he didn’t .
He maybe is trycky , but he realy is piece of something
Yes: a piece of shit!
hahahaha true
This guy is a cold blooded striker " total fighter. It does not matter Royce submitted him , he still can fight.
Yes a solid fighter for sure !
Biting and eye gouging is fighting now? Ok😂
@Manolia Padilla
Biting and eye gouging is unarmed combat and has always been.
150 lbs Yuki Nakai beat this 240lbs man after he permanently destroyed Yuki Nakai right eye with a thumb gouge. This Dutchman not a good fighter. He illegally gouge out a much smaller man's eye and still he lose to the little legend Yuki Nakai. He bite the smaller 170lbs Royce Gracie's ear and still he lose. His name is forgotten by all but an obscure few in this world but the name Yuki Nakai is legendary, especially among Judokas. This dutchman couldn't even defeat a smaller man even after gouging out his eye. Whom would give their hard earned money to learn fighting from such a desperate, cowardly, loser. His size & strength advantage wasn't enough. His skills also weren't enough. So he permanently thumb gouge Yuki Nakai right eye, blinding him for life, and still it wasn't enough. Yuki Nakai defeated him and went on to fight other larger, stronger, men that same night, only losing to Rickson Gracie. That night Yuki Nakai became a 150lb legend.
Tbf thumbing the eye is not enough on its own to make you blind. He did not gouge out the eye as that would imply scooping it out of the socket. What he did do was poke the eye which damaged it and led to infection. Yuki did not get his eye treated and continued with the competition, which is why he is blinded. What Gerard did was still against the rules and deliberate, but you see people do this accidentally all the time today and people don't go blind. Part of the responsibility lies with Yuki and his camp for not taking him to the hospital tbh.
Timestamp on when he talks about the eye gouge please?
For a second I thought he said crazy jui-jitsu
me 2
He was a dirty fucking fighter. Eye gouging Yuki Nakai until he went blind and biting Royce Gracie.
great great video.. such a treat to us guys who've been watching mma from day 1
A shame for Kyokushin name.
A lot of kyokushin is pretty fucky and weird back then when you really get into it. Mas Oyama wrestling wounded boars the Bear thing with Willie Williams etc. Lots of propaganda went into promoting it.
If anybody wants to or has to talk shit about this man face to face... Get in your Will and goodbyes to your loved ones!!!!!!! Don't fuck wit if you like breathing.
It would have been cool if Gordeau were paired with Pat Smith because they had similar full-contact karate backgrounds and there could have been a stand-up war. I think Pat Smith's was better suited for the UFC though because he was one of the first to implement a ferocious ground-and-pound.
Does Pat bite in the ears and eye gauge men half their size?
Yeah that would have been a real interesting fight but Pat could do some submissions and ground fighting so I think he'd win
kinda wish Shinya Aoki snapped this pos arm to avenge Nakai tbh
All the troll crying about his tactics. NO HOLDS BARRED then not the modern watered down Sport the ufc has turned into now. A Sport is not Fighting
It's a fucking *combat* sport, not death death-life situation street fight. Different things.
Well considering how he lost miserably when he did fight dirty he wasnt only a lousy athlete (sport) he was a lousy and weak fighter (real fight).
Bit Royce Gracie and got choked out longer for it
Link to pt 2??
Legend...sort of.
Kyokushin!?!?! Wtf, i always tought he was from savate school... :O
Montenegrin militia same i recall that as well #mandellaeffect
He explained that. He thought they wouldn't let him fight if they knew his full background. So he made out he was just a Savate guy from Europe.
Thank you
They wanted a diverse array of martial artists in the first UFC; they already had a Karate guy so he had to market himself as a Savate guy.
I think he's a sociopath.
Id do it in a street fight but in a match no way.
Hes more a fighter rather a sporter. And a good fighter he is.
questionable
What has he won?
Really tough guy!
Does Jon Jones get this much hate for eye poking?
Why did it say he was a Savate fighter when he fought in Japan when he really was a Kyokushin Karate guy?
Did you watch the video? He said he sent in a video of him in savate fights.
squeeze out an eye? Gerrar is already coming!
Disgraceful.
shame for karate this guy
Ben van der Ploeg He brings great shame to Karate
Dutch are incredible fighters.
brothajack1993 the only fight he ever fought. Weather to fart or shit and should he hold it.
Well this guy got beaten by a guy nearly a foot smaller than him despite being completely blinded in one eye because of this piece of shit. So if that's the Dutch calibre they really arent good 😂 when was the last Dutch world champ?

"I have to survive!" Fukc rules....
A disgusting fighter, who uses foul moves to compensate
You even try to cheat and lost.
The Gracie's chose their opponents, changed the rules as and when, and Royce is known for taking Steroids to boot, and the no rules hype is an out and out lie
A BJJ blue belt would've beat this guy.
But I guarantee you'd rather have this guy on your side in a brawl than the BJJ blue belt and I say that as a blue belt.
I respect his mentality but rules are rules
Fucking bad ass this guy
