Here is the clip from the final of UFC1 where Royce beats the savate fighter with not one kick or punch being thrown.

I have referenced this fight before and will be doing so again, more directly this week, during Newaza.

This was back in the day when UFC fights were real street fights, no rules.
In this match Gordeau bites Royce's ear from the bottom of the Mount in an attempt to get him off.

The fight is a perfect example of Jujutsu Combatives in sequence.
