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.
