I find this interesteing because in Royce's comeback to the UFC, Helio, Royce's father, was there at ringside for his fight with Matt Hughes. Hughes got Royce in a Kimura, the same move that Helio tapped to so many years ago, but Royce refused to tap.

kind of a crazy coincidence that Helio got tapped by Kimura while fighting the best in the world and then Royce gets caught in the same submission when he is fighting the best in the world.
