If your talking about just their MMA records then you are probably right but if your talking about everything including talent then Rickson completely blows Royce away. Rickson is way above Royce in both BJJ & real fights, all the Gracie`s know who their daddy is & everyone in Brazil, Gracie or not, knows who the BJJ king is..... Rickson.
Fedor Emelianenko Anderson Silva Georges St. Pierre BJ Penn Frank Shamrock Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Sakuraba Matt Hughes Dan Henderson Randy Couture This is how I am feeling today. Rickson and Royce rank much higher in my real fighting rankings, but this is how fighters of today's mma rules stack up in my opinion. Renzo Gracie, Mark Coleman, Rampage, Shogun, Wanderlei, among others, are all in consideration for the last few spots. Frank Shamrock and Kazushi Sakuraba are two of the first real mixed martial artists, in that they were competent in all areas of combat. Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, and GSP so high on the list? Who would you confidently pick against them, in their respective weight classes, under today's mma rules?
