Nafnið Gracie er samheiti MMA, and that is largely in part to Royce Gracie, maðurinn sem er talinn hafa fundið upp á íþrótt eins og við þekkjum það í dag.

For many years there was no answer for the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu technique that he brought into a fight, í dag, það er erfitt að finna MMA bardagamaður sem hefur ekki þjálfað í list Jiu-Jitsu. This past February, Gracie defeated Ken Shamrock in a record-shattering fight that was witnessed on Spike by over 3.5 milljón áhorfendur.
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.
