> Sure did - broke his arm in two places with it after he refused to submit, if I remember right. When I was watching Royce Gracie in the fight against Matt Hughes caught in Hughes armbar, and I saw Royce staring straight ahead and clenching his jaw and breathing through his nostrils, I remembered Helio and Kimura and thought “ohshitohshitohshit _he’s going to let him break his arm!_” :eek:

I had the exact same thought, and gained a little respect for Matt when he let him out of it instead of breaking it.
