I think Paulson would have submitted him 10 times in the first round!

WCC: "NO SUBMISSION!" Also WCC: "Winner by submission...."

@Scorch1028 9 ай бұрын

There's no point in banning submissions in an event that allows grappling. I can see why WCC could not compete with the early UFC.

@pikkon899 8 ай бұрын

Submitting and submission holds are 2 different things that have the same outcome. They are called "submission holds" because they make the opponent submit, but you can still submit without being put in a hold. To submit means to give up and you can give up by being punched too many times (which is what happened here) or if you're too tired to continue.

They separated strikers and grapplers until the finals. If you were labeled a striker, you couldn't win by submission.

Thank god for You Tube...I taped this event on VHS and couldnt find it...Eric Paulson doesnt get the respect he deserves...this guy trained with Rickson Gracie in the mid 80's....This tourney also shows how much of a animal Renzo was...big difference between him and Royce.

Half the bracket was striking wins only the other had full NHB. The finals had full NHB. The theory was that it would be a show down between strikers and grapple rs in the end. Was an experimental format.

One side of the brackets had the no submission rule, the other (Renzo's) was regular NHB. The winner of the striking (Shootboxing) bracket would fight the winner of the NHB bracket in the finals. Not a bad idea.

No submission’s can also be taken as “No willing quitters”. You had to go through the bare knuckle process to get to the other fights. So, no one should be talking shit about this fight. This was hella interesting. You can hair pull and head butt, that changes a lot of things. You can grab the cage, you can grab the shorts, hit the back of the head, neck and spine. Ouch

Renzo was lucky he didn't have to take on Vale or Bitonio. I believe Vale or Bitinio would've beat Renzo by sheer strength & brutality. Renzo got a cakewalk against the very unviolent Spijkers, smaller wrestler & the zero-grappling Warring. He was very lucky that Vale & Bitonio eliminated each other.

Dear genius, What did BL call what he was teaching before 1967? "Jun Fan Gung Fu" Even the JKD concepts guys refer to the old style as Jun Fan Kickboxing. Having trained in the JKD concepts (Joe Maffe) school, and the older Gung Fu style (James DeMille), I think I actually do know what I'm talking about, sorry.
