Biography

DeLucia participated in the first fight in UFC history. At 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 that his elbow had "popped a capsule". However, DeLucia denied this in a Sherdog.com forum, saying it was just badly bent. DeLucia once suffered a ruptured liver against MMA legend Bas Rutten at Pancrase: Truth 6 on June 25, 1996.
