Art is the guy from the first UFC who went into the cage opposite Royce Gracie wearing a boxing glove. He really didn’t stand a chance, but at the time only a handful of people knew what to expect from Gracie. Jimmerson had a long career as boxer, but only one visit to the Octagon. He’s one of the best one-fight-wonders in MMA history.
