Biography
DeLucia practiced the Five Animals style of Kung Fu, Aikido and, later in his MMA career, Gracie Jiu Jitsu (mostly in his Pancrase fights). He is remembered by UFC enthusiasts for being among the first fighters to perform in early UFC tournaments. In UFC 2: No way out, DeLucia fought Royce Gracie and lost via armbar submission. After DeLucia tapped out, Gracie did not let go of the armbar and the commentator claimed his elbow had popped. However, DeLucia denied this in a Sherdog.com forum, saying it was just badly bent. DeLucia famously once suffered a ruptured liver in a bout against MMA legend Bas Rutten.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”

“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
