Re: UFC 1/The Gracies etc

If the Gracies had said "Fuck it, we believe in the art of BJJ so much that we'll let ANYONE test us", which three fighters of the time, who weren't in the tournament, would have had the best chance of beating Royce had they entered the tournament?

 

I'm thinking Tyson, Karelin & Gokor.

 

 

Jackie Chan, JCVD, and of course, the Greatest Martial Artist of All Time (because he says so), SEGAL!! Phone Post 3.0

Karelin
Bas
Gokor

Of course the reason Rorion set up UFC 1 was to be an advertisement for GJJ, so these guys didn't receive an invitation. Phone Post 3.0
