Hélio Gracie is regarded as founding father of today’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – one of powerful combat sport techniques frequently used in popular Mixed Martial Arts championships, such as UFC or Pride. Formerly known as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu after Hélio Gracie, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu focuses on fighting your opponent on the ground using choke holds and joint lock. Use of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can allow a smaller person to defeat a stronger or bigger person.
Hélio Gracie was the only bearer of the 10th degree belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and aside from that, he was also a 6th dan in judo. Born on October 1, 1913 Hélio Gracie 95 year old. Today sad news hit the internet claiming that Hélio Gracie – Founder of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu passed away. I was not able to verify this information 100%, however greats like Hélio Gracie deserve recognition on pages of Beer Steak Blog and as fan of Mixed Martial Arts I would like to pay homage to one of the best fighters of the 20th century. If rumors are true, then I would just like to say RIP Hélio Gracie
This is the video from Pride 31 fighting championship between Russian monster Roman Zentsov and BrazilianPedro Rizzo. And Roman Zentsov delivered. He knocked Pedro Rizzo the fuck out. He completely obliterated the Brazilian with a single punch. I mean, Pedro Rizzo will probably spend the rest of his life peeing the linen at night. Roman Zentsov is a monster.
Fedor Emelianenko was in the audience too and cheered with Roman big time after the knock out. Very nice fight, sucks for Pedro. This is definitely one of the best knock outs ever recorded on camera. Roman gave Pedro no chance.
