Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I earned my nickname by defeating the first four Gracies I fought. Who am I?

Answer: Kazushi Sakuraba

After Kazushi Sakuraba defeated Royler Gracie by kimura when the ref stopped the fight despite Royler's refusal to tap. Royler's older brother Royce entered the 16-man Pride Grand Prix in 2000 for a chance to right the perceived wrong of Royler's loss with special rules. If Royce Gracie faced Sakuraba there would be no ref stoppages and no time limit. With these rules in place, the match lasted an hour and a half.

The match finally ended when Royce's brother Rorion threw in the towel to save Royce further leg damage from leg kicks.

2. I have held both the UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight titles, and came out of retirement to reclaim the UFC heavyweight title at the age of 43. Who am I?

Answer: Randy Couture

Randy Couture became the fourth fighter inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on June 24 2006. The other three were Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, and Dan Severn.

3. I am a Russian fighter that practices sambo. I won the Pride heavyweight championship from Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira on March 16, 2003. Who am I?

Answer: Fedor Emelianenko

Fedor's first loss came at the King of Kings on December 22, 2000, via doctor stoppage because of a cut caused by an accidental elbow. Many people said that it should not have been a loss, but a no contest.

4. I am a welterweight fighter with a wrestling background. I won the UFC welterweight championship from Carlos Newton on November 2, 2001. Who am I?

Answer: Matt Hughes

In that first championship match with Newton, Hughes got caught in a triangle choke and powered Newton up on his shoulders against the top of the cage. When Hughes finally lost consciousness for a split second, he power-bombed Newton knocking him out.

5. Who was the Japanese fighter with a wrestling background who won the Pride 2005 Lightweight Grand Prix?

Answer: Takanori Gomi

Takanori Gomi was still the Pride lightweight champion when Pride was sold to Zuffa.

6. After I got knocked out on September 9, 2003, I knocked out 7 straight opponents before getting knocked out by the same fighter in a rematch. Who am I?

Answer: Chuck Liddell

Chuck Liddell entered the Pride 2003 Middleweight Grand Prix for a chance to fight Pride middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva, but got beat in the semi-finals by Quinton Jackson. Nearly 4 years later, Jackson would win the UFC lightheavyweight championship from Liddell.

7. I am the Japanese fighter with a black belt in both judo and jiu-jitsu, who won the Shooto middleweight championship from Akira Kikuchi on February 17, 2006. Who am I?

Answer: Shinya Aoki

Shinya Aoki is most known for pulling sick submissions such as flying arm bars, flying triangle chokes, and gogoplatas.

8. I became the UFC middleweight champion on October 14, 2006, when I knocked out Rich Franklin. Who am I?

Answer: Anderson Silva

While Anderson Silva has his share of highlight knockouts, he was unfortunatly on the receiving end of one of the greatest submissions of all-time when Ryo Chonan caught him in a flying scissor heel hook.

9. I am a heavyweight fighter from Croatia known for my head kicks. Who am I?

Answer: Mirko Filopovic

10. I am known almost as much for my choreographed entrances as for my unusual fighting style, which included dancing and turning my back on my opponent. Who am I?

Answer: Genki Sudo

Genki Sudo's strange fighting style kept his opponents off guard leading to his good mixed martial arts record. On December 31, 2006, after defeating Damacio Page, Sudo shocked everyone in the crowd by announcing his retirement due to recurring injuries, but in typical Sudo fashion, he credits a sign in front of an urinal saying, "1 step forward", as inspiring his decision.
