Royce Gracie
The Superfight match was the main attraction, and the winner of this fight would become the reigning UFC Champion. It consisted of rivals Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock facing off in the most anticipated match in UFC history to that date, which lead to the highest pay-per-view buyrate the UFC had achieved. Up to this point, Ken Shamrock's only defeat in the UFC was to Royce Gracie in UFC 1.
