Tweetyeah he's definately very down to earth....I've been training jiu-jitsu at one of his affiliates for about 4 years now and he comes down every 6 months or so to do seminars and give out belts....super nice guy
TweetI met him at a bowling alley yesterday. He was with what appeared to be his wife and three kids. He is really small framed, I mean small! When I shook I asked him if he was Royce Gracie he said yep, not much is it as he looked himself up and down.
nice guy!

TweetI am a bit older than he, and I seen what he can do to guys bigger than me... makes you realize that size doesn't matter (as much as I hate to admit it!)
TweetAdmit it, you didn't want to make him look bad in front of his family by choking him out. I can respect that

Tweetsweet bro. i saw the fight against F shammy. he looked composed and patient. the format of the exc dosnt lend itself to the slow methodical BJJ style but he did win by DQ.
pics?

Tweetthats cool bro ! I want to learn jiu-jitsu to my resume !

Tweetanyone that's at all serious about fighting, needs to
Tweettrue, i wish i started it when i was younger. my standup is fair but my sub defense is bad, even if you dont intend on applying submissions knowing them helps keep out of them
every time i say i am done with MMA i start wondering "is that young fella talking all that smack badder than me?"
most of the time the answer is yes i suck but i love it
TweetI remember 16 years ago when I was stationed in Brazil with the Marines, I met Rickson Gracie in Rio De Janero. He and I became good friends for many years, and we hung out for the 2 years I was stationed there. I trained pretty much every day with him, and officially became a Blue Belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

OK. Everything in this story is a lie. It sounded pretty cool though.

TweetGet this, Forrest Griffin was signing autographs at a nutrition store last week in my neck-o-the-woods... looks like the UFC/Xyience is pushing to get more attention....
Makes you want to join in on the fun.... but training like a UFC fighter and building size don't really pair up too good... don't you think?
