According to a report on the Underground, Royce Gracie went backstage looking for Bravo after the 20-minute match, and the MMA legend confirmed the story to MMAFighting.

"I wanted to talk to him for years, but never had the chance to meet him," Royce Gracie told MMAFighting on Monday. "I met him after the fight and he was there, throwing up. Royler dominated him so much, he did so much strength, that he threw up after the fight."

Royce Gracie said he liked what Bravo said on the mat after the rematch, but wasn�t happy with the comments he made about jiu-jitsu and the Gracie family in the past.

"I told him that I liked what he said after the fight, but didn�t like the fact that he always talked trash about Royler and my family," he said. "He stood up and started yelling, so I also raised the tone of my voice and told him I didn�t like it."

"He said he always gave my family credit, but I know it�s not true," Gracie continued. "He always talks trash about my family. Enough with this s---. He said he never talked bad about my family and he always gave us credit. He kept raising the tone of his voice, and I told him to shut up, so Jean Jacques (Machado) came in, said we didn�t need this and asked (Bravo) to leave."

Royce Gracie hasn�t competed in a grappling match since a controversial loss to Hidehiko Yoshida at PRIDE in 2002, and he won�t consider competing against Eddie Bravo in a future edition of Metamoris. However, he wouldn�t rule out a MMA fight with Bravo.

"Can we slap each other? Can we beat each other?" Gracie replied a laugh when asked if he�d accept to fight Bravo at Metamoris.

"I�m a vale-tudo fighter. I�m not a fighter to score points of fight with time limit. Let�s (fight) with no time limit and with punches allowed. I�m a vale-tudo fighter, I don�t compete in (grappling) tournaments."

What a loving prick.

Oh god no. They're knowledgeable instructors, but also a couple of hucksters. Recently made some youtube videos arguing that their online correspondence course was not only as good as training at a school under a good instructor, but was in fact superior.

As the only Gracie to win an MMA fight within the last year, Neiman is clearly a good Gracie.

Also, he's an incredibly witty guy even when speaking English. Wit across two languages is kind of amazing. Plus the introduction to the book he wrote with Danaher (a standalone essay called The Deadly Technique Fallacy) should've put an end to all sport vs. street debates years ago. A perfect illustration of what Jigoro Kano did to change the way martial arts were taught.

I like that Royce wants vale tudo rules because it says to me he knows he won't be able to beat Eddie on the ground, so his only saving grac(i)e is his vaunted Royce Striking

It says to me that he doesn't want the fight to happen because he knows Eddie would never agree to that and also it would make the logistics of it much more difficult.

Eddie designed most of his game acknowledging punching. So it would be even more hilarious watching him give Royce the yoga stretch while winging right hands.

Most of the Gracies are fine, Royce has just always been a special flower. It made him rich so I can see why he'd keep going with it but basically everything he says in public makes him look like a prick or is some variation of "the problem is they didn't do enough jiu jitsu"

Do Royler and Rickson get along? They seem very similar but then again that might be a problem when you're brothers and super competitive.

Isn't it also (sometimes) pronounced as H when it is double Rs? Because I've heard dudes named Bezerra called Bez-ey-ha

Eddie Bravo posted:

[Royler and I] went 20 hard minutes, I was so emotional, my mom is there, I�m crying, and it was just crazy, and after it was all done I had to throw up. It was like I had an Ayahuasca trip or something. So I�m throwing up on the side of the tent, and Jean-Jacques Machado is there and my film crew -- I have a documentary film crew following me around, and they were all there filming me throw-up -- and I hear this voice behind me. �It�s good that you said those things about my family.� I�m like, who is this? I turn around, and it was Royce Gracie. He goes, �you say what you say, because you used to talk sh-- about my family.� And I�m like, dude I never talked sh-- on your family, who is telling you these lies?"

I�m pointing, I have my finger up, and I said, �I thank you, I thank Royler, I thank his father [Helio],� and [Royce] thought that was disrespectful because I was pointing at him. He said, �don�t you point your finger at me, don�t you disrespect me,� and he gets in my face like he wants to fight me. And [my teacher] Jean-Jacques Machado separates us. And I�m like, man, Royce Gracie wants to kick my rear end -- how cool is that? That�s the coolest sh-- ever.

I�ve always been super-respectful of the Gracies. As a matter of fact, in my first book, Jiu-Jitsu Unleashed, which came out in 2005, in the beginning I write about each Gracie. Individually. Royce Gracie, Helio Gracie, Royler Gracie. I write about them and give them the ultimate tribute and the respect, and how they affected my life personally. I wanted to right out of the box squash all these misconceptions about me, that I�m against jiu-jitsu, that I�m a jiu-jitsu traitor and all this sh--�and how I disrespected the Gi and dropped the Gi. I dropped the Gi for jiu-jitsu, to make jiu-jitsu look better for the UFC. The UFC got me into jiu-jitsu, jiu-jitsu didn�t get me into the UFC.

I constantly make it clear. I mean, I�m in the jiu-jitsu business. I�d have to be a complete retard to disrespect the Gracies and not acknowledge and respect what they�ve done in the world of martial arts. I would have zero followers if I started talking sh-- on the Gracies.

[...]

I don�t think Metamoris would ever want me back, to tell you the truth. I haven�t heard from [Metamoris founder] Ralek Gracie at all. He hasn�t texted me or called me or just to thank me. That�s what you kind of feel like, when somebody puts on a great show in the UFC like [Stephan] Bonnar or [Forrest] Griffin, Dana White is texted them that night thanking them. I haven�t heard from Ralek at all. I think he might be mad at me, I don�t know.

I just blew his show up, I blew it out of the water. I mean, his best [Metamoris] performance was 9,000 pay-per-views, which is great for a jiu-jitsu event. This one had to be, with of all Joe Rogan�s promotion because I was involved, he had to have hit 20,000 pay-per-views at least, maybe 30,000. That�s $400,000-$500,000, and I haven�t heard from the guy. He�s got to be mad at me. I don�t think that Metamoris will ever have me back.

[...]

Right now I don�t want to think about anything. I will compete again, but I don�t want to think about anything for a while and relax. Royce Gracie�s calling and all that sh--, I think it�s a beautiful thing man, that Royce Gracie�s calling me out. And I would not do an MMA fight with him, so he can get that out of his head. But a jiu-jitsu match? Sh--, Royler�s better than Royce, so we�ll see maybe later if he wants to do some jiu-jitsu.
