    And the one who I guess got me into MMA. I can't lie man. It's true.

    Third.

    He was facing Matt Hughes. I'd heard of Gracie before and wanted to see what the fuss was about.

    I've followed the UFC and Pride since the beginning. Royce Gracie won me over more and more with each event as his opponents seemed to get larger and more dangerous - yet he triumphed over them all. The first four UFC events were like the Rocky story of MMA.

    you are right!
    GSP is the one who brought me to the sport. There was absolutly no talking of MMA in quebec before him.
