Sherdog.com: Good old Paul Herrera. When you entered the UFC, you came in as Kuk Sool Won. Could you give us a few thoughts on that, where that came from?
Gary Goodridge: Well, there was a Kuk Sool Won club in my area, and I told them I wanted to go into the UFC. They had a little 158 pound guy that wanted to go as well. They had a little donation thing to help this guy out too. Now, people are coming in to support the gym or whatever, giving change here and there trying to help this guy go to the UFC. I was thinking “This guy’s 158 pounds!” And at the time, the UFC didnt have weight classes. He just wanted to go and try to beat up somebody. So, I’m 260, 275 lbs at the time, and I’m thinking, “You know, I could wrap this guy up into a pretzel and have him down on the grass sucking himself off in no time at all!” So I said “You know what, I’ll beat up your boy, then I want all that money, and I’m going to the UFC!” So we had a little sparring session, and of course, I was on top of him all the time. I didn’t know what do to, I was just on top of him. So we just wrestled around until we got tired.
So they said, “Are you goin to the UFC?” I said, “Yeah, I applied.” They told me if I got in I could represent them, and they’d give me a 4th degree black belt. I said “No problem! I want it legal though, I want the paperwork.” So they got me the paperwork for it from the Grand Pubah of Kuk Sool Won, from Korea, and he let me know I was the man. And about a month and 12 days later I was fighting in the UFC! [/B]
LOL!!!
Gary Goodrich definitely had a deadly arsenal of traditional animal techniques. I remember he beat one of Brazil’s top fighters in an IVC event by reaching down his fight shorts and finishing him with “Monkey squeezes the forbidden fruit.”
Do you know why Royce broke Delucia’s arm during their fight?
Pre-UFC Delucia had came into the Gracie school (Rorian’s) and challenged them to a fight. Jason Delucia was so confident that he’d have Royce for lunch that he wagered $500 on the outcome (Jason says he respects Rorion for not letting him actually go through with the bet). Royce beat him like a red-headed stepchild and Delucia became a student of bjj for months!
A year later, who should they find entering the contest but Jason Delucia who started to trash talk Royce! Royce was ****ed (he has befriended this guy and showed him bjj) and showed him that he still needed more lessons..
if dragonzrage’s post wasn’t a parody, it needed to be. if it was a parody, well done.

Stuart, I was assuming he was joking. ![]()
Yeah, I was too, actually. But I think Sapphire Tygre took it seriously. (No offense intended, Sapphire Tygre.)

I /hoped/ he was joking. But Gary Goodridge interviews are hilarious, so any excuse to post excerpts. ![]()
fatherdog,
no doubt. i’d actually heard that story about big daddy myself. that and the fact that he’s a champion arm wrestler.
