Who Won The First-Ever UFC Tournament Championship?

Royce Gracie's submission skills proved the most effective in the inaugural tournament, earning him the first-ever UFC tournament championship after submitting Jimmerson, Shamrock, and Gordeau in succession. The show proved extremely successful with 86,592 television subscribers on pay-per-view.## Royce Gracie used Brazilian jiu-jitsu in the early years of UFC to defeat opponents of greater size and strength. With no weight classes, fighters often faced significantly larger or taller opponents. Keith "The Giant Killer" Hackney faced Emmanuel Yarbrough at UFC 3 with a 9 in (23 cm) height and 400 pounds (180 kg) weight disadvantage.## Many martial artists believed that technique could overcome these size disadvantages and that a skilled fighter could use an opponent's size and strength against him.## With the 175 lb (79 kg) Royce Gracie winning three of the first four events, the UFC quickly proved that size does not always determine the outcome of the fight.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates...
