Quote :

Yesterday we learned that Renzo Gracie was arrested alongside his cousin Igor for an alleged incident outside a posh Manhattan nightclub.
According to the report, Renzo and company beat up a bouncer and left the man hospitalized with broken bones.
Now charges are coming to light, and the BJJ great could be hit with a second-degree gang assault charge which holds a jail sentence of up to 15 years.

I know the guy's a legend and all that, but he's just plain bad news. This isn't the first time he's gotten into shit like this.

what the fuck?! i honestly thought Renzo was the good one. turns out he is an idiot too

Yeah, I really started to wonder about what type of person he really is when I read about that incident a while back where he thought these two guys were gonna rob him or something, so he just took it upon himself to beat the absolute fuck out of one of them while the other one ran away. Maybe they were gonna rob him, maybe they weren't. I don't know, I wasn't there and he was. But what was a little fucked about it was how he was live tweeting about it as he was doing it, and he couldn't stop talking about how much fun he was having doing it.

He's got some shit to work out, let's put it that way.

I remember that and thinking it was hilarious because it was just so bizarre... like something out of a movie, fucking a guy up whilst maintaining a running commentary of it.

No disrespect ,but I've always sort of gotten the vibe (especially and more so with the older Gracies) that despite how polite and nice they may act they are definitely not the guys to fuck with.

Heh .... he can't beat people in the ring might as well beat unsuspecting civilians.
