The Dutchman advanced to meet Luta Livre legend Marco Ruas, also the eventual winner. His first opponent would be Karateka Ryan Parker, whom he defeated in swift fashion by throwing him down, pinning him with kesa gatame and locking a mounted Ezekiel choke. He returned to UFC in September 1995 at the event UFC 7. Seconds into the match, Royce captured Pardoel's back while standing, tripped him down and performed a gi choke, making Remco tap out. The Dutch contender went to the semi-finals to face UFC 1 winner Royce Gracie, another Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu exponent. Wiet was actually rendered unconscious after the second blow, and Pardoel himself had to speak to the referee in order to get the match stopped. After some hesitation, the Jiu-Jitsu champion then proceeded to land seven brutal elbow strikes on Wiet's temple, resulting in a knockout. The heavier Pardoel executed a hip throw and pinned Wiet on the mat with ura gatame. Pardoel advanced to the next round and fought Muay Thai fighter Orlando Wiet in a memorable match.
