In November 1993, the face of martial arts changed forever when Royce Gracie won the first ever Ultimate Fighting Championship — no rules, no weight classes, no time limits — proving that technique beats size and forever putting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the map. Watching that VHS tape as a 16-year-old who had just lost his karate teacher, Georges St-Pierre found his path. Years later, he would follow it all the way to the welterweight title against Matt Hughes at UFC 65. In this episode, Georges sits down with his idol for a conversation over 30 years in the making. 🥋 Osu (押忍) Chapters 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:23 Meeting Royce for the first time 00:03:16 Georges gets tased ⚡️ 00:04:36 "You changed my life" — Georges' story 00:06:33 Royce: "You never saw me fighting, you saw the technique" 00:08:23 Gracie family origins & the Gracie Challenge 00:10:57 Jiu-jitsu: the art of softness 00:12:49 Why jiu-jitsu is the spine of all martial arts 00:13:44 Why Royce was chosen for UFC 1 00:15:14 No rules, no gloves, no time limits 00:16:27 Overcoming fear: "Fear is a product of the imagination" 00:18:52 Defense first: "If you don't lose, how are you going to win?" 00:22:20 The Gracie trade: weight advantage vs. time 00:24:27 Old rules vs. modern fighters 00:26:02 UFC 3: The Kimo war & fighting blind 00:28:13 The Ken Shamrock trilogy 00:31:27 The knockout strategy: "Make the fight boring" 00:32:38 Studying opponents psychologically 00:35:35 Knowing when to walk away 00:38:03 The Gracie Diet explained 00:39:44 Royce's Mount Rushmore of MMA 00:40:56 Best pound-for-pound today 00:42:45 The story Royce never knew: how he saved Georges twice Like, Comment and Follow to support the podcast! ✔️ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ JOIN THE COMMUNITY Website – https://www.gspofficial.com Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/gsppodcastofficial Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/GSPPodcastOfficial TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@gsppodcastofficial Threads – https://www.threads.com/@gsppodcastofficial X – https://x.com/GSPPodOfficial ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ "Fall down seven times, get up eight." 🥋 #gsppodcast #georgesstpierre
