He took his mother's maiden name. Not surprising to those who understand the significance of the lineage.
It's also worth mentioning that he's really not in the same training lineage as the guys most of us think of when we think "Gracie." He's in the Gracie Barra lineage, which means he's not associated with Rickson, Royce, Royler, etc.
Oh, and his father is a pretty legendary blackbelt in his own right.
For Roger to be born a Gracie, you must know that he is born to do this, he was bred to do BJJ. And for him to be tall just makes even harder to beat. We all wished we a lil taller, so we can have some kind of advantage. So his height is not a curse, its a blessing.
His skill is crazy good. You know how everyone says so and so feels like 500 pounds when they are in mount or side control. roger feels like 5000 pounds. You think he just picked up his game because he is tall. He practiced day in day out in Brazil, and had the best family in Jiu Jitsu helping him out. Go play more Nintendo Wii.
marcelo garcia and bj penn alright they are good.......but bravo? how could you ever put eddie bravo on the list of greats for 'catching' royler gracie. eddie bravo shouldnt even be on the top 20 list of great grapplers
Catching someone and getting the W is the point. Eddie Bravo may not one of the best right now but he was the best on the mat that night and thats what counted. He is also an amazing teacher.
if he's so good why did he "retire" after that fight and has been milking it since? Because he knows he got lucky, thats why? Eddie bravo is nobody in this sport
actually Robert Ramirez, you're not the champion...you placed 2nd in blue belt juvenile Ultra Heavy, in a bracket with only you and someone else. Meaning you lost. LOL. Next time don't lie, it's easy to look up information
HAHA! he has one of the more pure games there is.. even Marcelo says himself (I think Marcelo is amazing and average Top 3 in the World). Even If they were the same size he thinks Roger would still beat him.. BJJ was created so the smaller man can beat the bigger man so STFU!
Ya he may be tall but nonetheless his skill is almost unmatched today. Watch the robert drysdale interview he said his size has nothing to do with it, he said his jiu jitsu is just very tight
everyone on here who sais roger is just a big tall guy and he has no game, is fucking retarded. Size has nothing to do with it, thats the point of jiu jitsu. How many times has roger beat jacare, marcelo, you don't do that by being tall. His game is among the best in the world
Budovideos como sempre inovando , video maravilhoso e mais do que justo ao campeao de 2008 . 2009 tambem sera teu , boa sorte Roger , a galera da Susi te ama e torce por voce .
(PART 2 OF 2) Check this AWSOME fight out! That's the 1st time they faced each other in ADCC! I simply love Roger Gracie's style! From Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) 2003!
