I think he would have potentially destroyed Royce Gracie. Aside from his striking Jack was not unfamiliar with grappling as seen in the video, unlike a lot of the guys Gracie got matched up with in UFC 1. That first move with the jacket/Gi trap would have worked great in early UFC as kicks to the groin were allowed back then.
