El nom Gracie és sinònim de MMA, and that is largely in part to Royce Gracie, l'home que es considera que s'ha inventat l'esport com el coneixem avui. El guanyador dels primers esdeveniments UFC, Gracie anava a desmantellar diversos oponents en una sola nit, molts dels quals eren molt més grans que ell. Durant molts anys no va haver-hi cap resposta per a la tècnica de Gracie Jiu-Jitsu que va lluitar, avui, és difícil trobar un lluitador de MMA que no ha entrenat en l'art del jiu-jitsu. This past February, Gracie defeated Ken Shamrock in a record-shattering fight that was witnessed on Spike by over 3.5 milions d'espectadors.

 

Having first fought in the sport almost twenty years ago, very few men have a more legendary resume than Wanderlei Silva, who was recently signed to a Bellator MMA contract. “The Axe Murderer” is a Pride and UFC veteran, who brings an intimidating and imposing presence with him every time he steps into the cage. Silva hopes of adding to an already-impressive list of wins that include: Guy Mezger, Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Ricardo Arona, Kazuyuki Fujita, Michael Bisping, Cung Le, Brian Stann and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (2x).
