- One of the true martial arts legends, Renzo Gracie is a Jiu Jitsu black belt from the famous Gracie family. A fantastic coach that has produced several renowned black belts, Renzo Gracie primarily excelled as a competitor in the 1990’s winning important tournaments such as the ADCC (Abu Dhabi Combat Club) and several MMA fights in Japan, Brazil and US. Renzo Gracie was also the main protagonist of a famous documentary about his life as a fighter named: Legacy.
Renzo was born on March 11, 1967, in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. He is the grandson of Gracie Jiu Jitsu founder Carlos Gracie and son of 9th Dan BJJ black belt Robson Gracie, brother to Ralph and Ryan Gracie. Like most men in the Gracie family, Renzo started training Jiu Jitsu as an infant. He had formal instructor from many of the Gracie patriarchs, but to of his biggest influences were the legendary Rolls Gracie and Carlos Gracie Jr (the man who later awarded him his black belt).
The Renzo Gracie name is also a synonym of Vale-Tudo, the famous No Holds Barred style of fighting in Brazil that originated today’s Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Renzo’s first official fight was at the age of 25 in the Gracie Vale Tudo Challenge were he submitted his opponent Luiz Augusto Alvareda by rear naked choke.
Renzo pursued his fighting career moving to the US to compete where the sport was gaining recognition after the early UFC’s, he also opened his own academy in New York, a gym that rapidly became a reference in America and the world for high quality Jiu Jitsu. From this same academy Renzo Gracie forged fighters such as Matt Serra, John Danaher, Ricardo Cachorão, Shawn Williams, Jerry Rinaldi and many, many others.
After a successful victory over the famous Russian fighter Oleg Taktarov, Renzo was invited to defend the Gracie surname in Japan, a challenge Renzo grabbed with both hands. He went on to fight and be successful at the prestigious Pride FC.
Even though Renzo had spent most of his later years as a coach in his academy in New York, he never retired officially from competition, and in 2010 he signed a contract with the UFC at the age of 43, fighting Matt Hughes one of the most dominant UFC champions of all time on his first fight for the organization. Renzo was out classed and lost due to a TKO on the 3rd round showing many signs of ring rust due to his long inactivity period
Kazushi Sakuraba (桜庭 和志, Sakuraba Kazushi, born July 14, 1969) is a Japanese mixed martial artist, submission grappler and professional wrestler, currently signed to Rizin Fighting Federation[2][3][4] and Pro Wrestling Noah, where he is one-half of the former GHC Tag Team Champions with Takashi Sugiura.

This was Gracie's first loss in mixed martial arts.

Saku, the guy that everyone loves.
Renzo, the Gracie that everyone loves.
This comment is so underrated
Well said
I liked renzo until i saw him soccer kick nate marquardt in the face
Gracies, the over rated family of set up fights
@@joshuaarmstrong377 he's come a long way. he went from spitting at people, stomping on people's head to teaching a fat kid who was getting bullied BJJ for free and actually laughing about the PRIDE loss from Saku years later.
Was in the front row for this, and have never seen any video of it. Amazing to watch . . . thank you for posting, as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
@Mark Hunter..This match has been on YT for some time.
I was there too buddy. It was surreal. I remember the match started and everyone was all quiet then one dude way up in the stands shouted "DOUBLE WRISTLOCK" and then the fun began
Loved Renzo using basic combatives with the double under hook pass! BASICS work once you’ve mastered them. A chess match from the get go. Well done on both sides.
Yep. Battle of legends. thanks for watching
Thanks very much for posting this fight.
Muito obrigado por ter postado a luta Ricardo.
de nada. obrigado para assistir amigo
Finally! Been looking for this, thank you 🙏
no problem. thanks for watching. Any other matches you are looking for?
Two of the greatest competitors and very honorable men. God Bless them Both.
In his early days, Renzo was not so honorable ^^ But yeah, now he grew up to be an amazing person, BJJ trainer and a guy who can also kick ass. Always happy to see Sakuraba.
@@kimo_leopoldo wow, are you the true Kimo Leopoldo? If so, I wanna tell you I'm a huge fan of yours.
@@kimo_leopoldohas Renzo told you what he was pushed to do n that he was young and impulsive when the ppl u think he disrespected n it was not like he did it for no good reason
@@kimo_leopoldobtw he is an amazing Gracie jiu jitsu teacher, nothing like BJJ
@@SoNewEnglandsux That's not a good explanation at all... Especially after a fight when you hold for too long your submisison and then steps on your opponent's neck. Nothing impuslive, just a dirty move. But yeah, he grew up since and became a better man.
This was beautiful to see. Both of them doing their purest forms of combat. Amazing.
Two legends of sport! 🇧🇷
yup 2 of the greatest
Renzo shows most respect to his opponents among all of his family and generally is a nice guy
@Truest Cato Maior4Evah everyone has been in bar fights
Renzo e' fod@ e tem uma energia muito legal! Lenda!
I don’t know about that I love Renzo but he’s spit on opponents stepped on opponents head and neck after submitting them.
He’s a legend no doubt. But showing respect it would be hard to find another Gracie or any top tier fighter doing those thing
@@oldironsides4107 Exact same thoughts.
@@oldironsides4107oday this thing is a sport. Back then it was war.
Vale-Tudo is not MMA.
OMG i didnt know about this. I cant believe it. Thank you for posting this.
my pleasure. thanks for watching
For some reason, having Chris Haueter as the referee adds something to this.
yep. Chris is a badass
A pleasure to see 2 legendary fighter go at it. It an honor
Absolutely. thanks for watching

Show, duas Lendas vivas.
The level of respect for each other, outstanding
Both are legends!
Had Saku had more time to heal his body when fighting in his prime, his career could’ve been longer and greater than it is.
yep he was one of my alll time favourites
Yeah if he hadn’t had smoked he could’ve been a cardio MONSTER.
Especially if he didn't take on ppl like he had a death wish, sakuraba never backed away from fighting anyone no matter how big n badass they were at the time
@@darthvader4339It floors me that he could accomplish all those feats with a smoking habit.
The Best Two Master Grappling ooos👍💪🙏
Kazushi is a LEGEND! Awesome fighter!

Great 👍🏻👌🏻

Love this fight and in all honesty have nothing but love and respect for both Saku and Renzo. What really irks me is how everyone always worships Saku yet trashes Renzo and his family.
Sure the Gracie’s aren’t perfect and I do not agree with everything they say or do. But let’s face it if it weren’t for the Gracie’s there would be no UFC and myself and numerous others would have not got into BJJ and get active.
I could say more but I feel this is adequately done nothing but respect for this two legends!!!
It's the Gracie ego they don't like.
Saku just seems to be so honorable.
The bowing thing on his knees in the middle of the ring after his fights, consoling the loser or respecting the winner if he's still conscious just oozes respect and is what a contest between two champions should be.
And how many life's Gracie jiu jitsu has saved ppl both from physical fights n self defense to mental health n I dare say spiritual health
👏👏👏 show de humildade e jiu-jitsu! Em nome dos velhos tempos, o esporte só cresce! Parabéns
obrigado pra assistir
Legends!
Sakuraba grande lenda! Não tinha tempo ruim caia para dentro...

absolutely legends thanks for watching
Renzo e Walid, tinha que acontecer.
100% verdade! Eu quero ver
Era pra essa acontecer. Mais se acontece pode enfeiar o cartel de um dos dois. E nenhum quer isso. E essas lutas de grappling do metamoris, è mais espetáculo do q luta. Sakuraba já fez três dessas e já empatou as três. Luta de carta marcada.
Já aconteceu e os Gracies tiveram que cortar a luz do ringue pra Hiena não perder.
Wallid peidou na farofa, a leoa desdentada correu
@@fernandomonzato5805 Henzo é mentiroso
Os dois 'lutaram' toda suas vidas p esse momento, para que o judo,jiu jitsu; a suave arte encontrasse seu lugar no panteão das artes marciais e pudesse ser telespectada por todos, sem o estima da violência ou do orgulho, parabéns à ambos pela dedicação as artes marciais.
que ano foi essa luta amigo?

Duas lendas.
14 years later 5th Gracie, still couldn't pull it off
Један је Сакураба💪🏻
They just can't leave him alone.
@@euttdsiggh2783 kakva stena od Borca
@@Shinji91 cuz they're embarrassed AF lmao
imagine naming an entire martial art after yourself... then challenging a Japanese guy to "prove yourselves" to the world, then he walks into the ring and beats you til you cry, then literally SPANKS your brother's ass, then destroys your entire family
so you send your 2nd cousin and 3rd uncle and still lose
so you finally send your grandson to finally win... and not even knockout... he barely won lmao
Sou fan do Renzo gracie .... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Catch wrestling vs BJJ at its finest. Two absolute legends. They have a great deal of respect for one another. Renzo even went as far as to call Sakuraba as the “Japanese Gracie”. That’s high praise considering he was taking down several Gracies during his career. This is like the Eddie Bravo and Royler rematch.
Omfg the Gracies STOLE jujitsu from the Japanese.... jujitsu is a very old Japanese art form. Not Brazilian
The Gracies should be called the Brazilian Sakuraba is more like it. He beat the whole clan so why would be called a Gracie?
@@peterd.9978 Actually, Saku won over 2 gracies, cuz he lost to Royce in their rematch (in their first bout, Royce gassed and his corner threw the towell), and Royller never tapped, but the japanese referee stopped the fight and gave it to Saku, and Ralek Gracie won over Sakuraba. Considering the Gracie family is a huge family, and all their male members are BJJ black belts, Sakuraba did not beat the "whole clan" like you said, but a couple of Gracies, and was nicknamed "Gracie Hunter" for promotion, because Gracie is/was a big name to sell fights.
@@marctoleds6259 First of all, throwing in the towel IS A LOSS. That's a sign of quitting/forfeiting the fight. Royce won the rematch because he roided. He was caught doping for that fight so Royce CHEATED and it didn't count as a win. What a disgrace Royce is for CHEATING! No honor! Royler didn't tap but I'm sure the ref didn't want his arm to get broken like Renzo's. Plus he wasn't getting out of that hold so the ref did him a favor. Sukuraba is known as the "Gracie Hunter" or the "Gracie Killer" due to his wins over four members of the famed Gracie family: Royler Gracie, Renzo Gracie, Ryan Gracie, and Royce Gracie. Do your research. "Google is your friend."
@@marctoleds6259 And here's the truth about the Gracie family. See if you can still be their fan/supporter after you learn how bad they really are.

Awesome 👍 when was this fight?
Saku is almost crippled. He walks on his heels with a wobble. Renzo attempted a sweep and then felt bad. Two legdens!
2 Legends for sure. thanks for watching
Wowww
Sakuraba foi o único que os Gracie deu o braço a torcer!
eita!
Kkkkkkk vdd
MARCOS RUAS TAMBÉM.
Não só torcer como literalmente quebrar , o homem e uma lenda da luta
Na verdade não deram o braço a torcer. Ele pegou, e torceu por conta própria, kkkk
