But 2 guys did bite Royce Gracie when they were caught. Jason Delucia (Kung-Fu) was caught in an armbar I believe. And Remco Pardo, a gi choke for rear mount. You can see them both ending up tapping like crazy when the biting didn't do squat. The ref had to jump in and use force to get Gracie off of them. Both incidents in UFC 2.

Not sure if there were others, as sometimes people didn't talk about it.

Gracie also used a cheap move in UFC 3 when he pulled on Kimo's ponytail to get out of a tight spot and/or gain leverage. He even ripped the ponytail off of his scalp. Gracie beat him, but Kimo messed up Gracie bad enough that he couldn't fight the 2nd fight.
