this guy is overrated all gracies do now is hide in their gyms too scared to fight real mma that would dominate them bjj is dead you need to know more than bjj matt hughes showed us this i think renzo is the best gracie guy has balls my respect the others are all too afraid to fight but great business men since alot of people are training in bjj stil bjj is not the best martial arts form like bruce lee said its a combination now there was a visionare
@SkemeKOS He didnt. Look at his fight record. He beat a bunch of nobodies in MMA. He didnt accept Sakurabas challenge, even though Saku humiliated the racies. He didnt accept MArk Kerrs or Wanderleis challenge. Even Helio was angry at him, because he overpriced himself to avoid fighting them.
who is the paper blackbelt wannabe at :44? i bet he went to a seminar and now tells people he trained with Rickson. probably has this picture hanging in his place and wears TapOut clothes every day
It isn't how good he might be compared to the fighters of today. The majority of the Gracies are out of MMA because they know they are no longer 'invincible'. Renzo and Royce both bow to Rickson as the master in the family. Even Rorion does. If you see Rickson rolling with fellow BJJ alums now, he still beats them all, every time.
Wandelai Silva , Dan Henderson , Yoshida , Rampage Jackson ,Chuck Lydell , Sakuraba . this guy fought none of them plus his other fellow Brazilians like Ruas and Arona . I put Wanderlai seperate because I really doubt he would of cared if he fucked up a fellow Brazilian .
should of fought Yoshida and Sakuraba not a bunch of nobodys Saku fought EVERYBODY win or lose . Renzo was a real warrior , too bad he was overshadowed by this guy .
yeah for whoever fought rickson back in this time when he fought, it was just over. they had to have known that. he was dominant as hell. i love rickson gracie, dude is a beast. i dont think he is full of himself, he is just sure of himself. he just knows wat he is doing and that brings him his confidence. thats what i think. i like his training videos. yoga is a part of his training to.
@DrGorgenflex yeah he is. but oh well... hes the best fighter in a family that is the godfather of the most effective martial art ever. id be the same way
Rickson challenged both Rua brothers while they were king of pride fighting championship which he wanted to do in Brazil where they all originate from and both brothers declined.
people say he fought nobodys need to understand that yeah he fought people who didnt know ju-jitsu. but he fought in vale tudo competitions against the best in every other field and beat them. for any person in any time period to be able to never be beaten in a fight with no rules is pretty damn amazing.
People's criticism of Rickson mostly comes from the outrageous 400-0 claims. He's a BJJ legend and a pioneer in MMA, but I'd stop short of calling him an MMA legend for the reason that his best victory was over Yuki Nakai, a fighter who weighted 30 pounds less and had just had the crap kicked out of him (not to mention his eye poked out) by two heavyweights. Rickson is a great martial artists, but Renzo and Royce did much much more in MMA and fought much better completion.
best LOL Marco "The King of the Streets" Ruas has challenge Rickson 100 times since the 80s in NHB, well i understand why Rickson didn't wanna fight Marco Ruas cuz he wouldt have beatin Rickson so bad
my teacher branden hetzler is a brown belt in rickson gracie jj. branden always tells us in a joking manner "you know what rickson tells me? rickson tells me that helio always said he was the best out of all the sons because he asked the most questions" cool shit huh...

He is a Vale Tudo legend, and one of the most technical BJJ practitioners out there.
He is undefeated in his professional career, he was defeated at a Sambo Championship by an Uchi-Mata throw, but I don't believe that was a no hold bar fight.
He is practically undefeated and has over 400 wins in the Vale Tudo world, I don't know who you think is good if this guy isn't.
cool! wait till you cross path with sakuraba. you'll just be added to the list of fallen '

The Gracies have nothing to prove any more and most of them are too old now.
How can you say he is over rated when he beat everyone in HIS time?
Im the biggest Bruce Lee fan going but you will still have idiots like you saying that Bruce Lee is over rated because everyone cross trains now.
The important thing is that Rickson ruled in his time as did Bruce in his.
You just sound like yet another fan of traditional martial arts who is disrespectful to "recent" real fighters.
