El nom Gracie és sinònim de MMA, i això es deu en gran part a Royce Gracie, un home que es considera que va inventar l’esport tal 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 MMA que no s’hagi format en l’art del jiu-jitsu brasiler que va inventar el seu pare. Al febrer de 2016, Gracie va titular el títol de "Bellator 149", un esdeveniment que va trencar els registres de visió de l'empresa que romanen intactes fins als nostres dies..

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

Amb un currículum increïble destacat per les victòries sobre quatre membres de la llegendària família Gracie, inclòs Royler, Renzo, Ryan, i Royce Gracie, Sakuraba ha heretat el sobrenom de "El caçador de Gracie". L’artista marcial mixt japonès és especialment recordat pel seu primer enfrontament amb Royce, una marató de noranta minuts que va acabar amb un TKO (parada de cantonada) gairebé victòria de Sakuraba 17 fa anys que. Gracie venjaria més tard la seva pèrdua, guanyant una decisió unànime guanyant a Sakuraba a “K-1 Dynamite USA!!" a l’interior del Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Ara, gairebé una dècada després, les dues llegendes es retroben i Bellator MMA us dóna l'oportunitat d'estar-hi quan passi!

 

Matt Mitrione

Matt Mitrione va portar originalment el seu talent a la graella del futbol, signant com a agent lliure no redactat amb els New York Giants a 2002. Després de breus estades amb els San Francisco 49ers i Minnesota Vikings, Mitrione va entrar a la gàbia MMA i des de llavors no ha mirat enrere.

Conegut com un dels primers classificats en aquest esport, el natiu d’Indianapolis, de 37 anys, va acabar recentment la seva carrera amb el seu antic empresari, prenent la decisió de provar una agència gratuïta.
