PRIDE Never Die free fight video: Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Renzo Gracie at PRIDE 10

BAD MMA News — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 16:05:18 +0000

Filed under: News , Videos It’s been 10 years since PRIDE held its final event, and UFC officials are marking the occasion with a week-long “PRIDE Never Die” celebration, which includes the release of a few free fight videos. Included in that series is Japanese legend Kazushi Sakuraba ’s incredible win over fellow grappling ace Renzo Gracie at “PRIDE 10: Return of the Warriors” in August 2000. Gracie, of course, is a member of the famed First Family of MMA and a jiu-jitsu expert. Sakuraba boasted a career in professional wrestling but was also a talented catch wrestler in his own right and would earn a nickname as “The Gracie Hunter” due to his wins over Royler Gracie, Royce Gracie, Renzo Gracie and Ryan Gracie

Renzo Gracie excited for UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden – a parking lot away from his gym

BAD MMA News — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 23:54:01 +0000

Filed under: News , UFC , Videos With five fighters representing his gym at Nov. 12’s UFC 205 in New York City, UFC and PRIDE vet Renzo Gracie (13-7-1) is happy to finally have an event in his backyard – an expression that, in this particular case, is barely an exaggeration. “All you have to do is cross the parking lot,” Gracie told MMAjunkie Radio when asked about the proximity of Renzo Gracie Academy and Madison Square Garden. “When I park my car – you cross the parking lot in my gym. They can warm up there and go fight in MSG.” Much like the rest of the MMA community, Gracie is excited about the UFC’s first incursion to the city of New York after the end of an eight-year-long legal battle for its legalization. The excitement, he believes, is pretty widespread – and he has a specific thermometer to make that assessment.

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos Bahrain may be a small island in the Middle East, but it plans on making a big splash in the MMA world – one they promise will be a long-lasting endeavor. The recent announcement of “KHK MMA Team” may seem like a flash in the pan for some, but a closer look at who is behind the team may convince doubters. KHK MMA Team is the vision of Bahrainian Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, an avid MMA fan who also just so happens to train daily with the squad. While his resources may seem endless, it’s the assembly of coaches, professionals and amateurs whom he has brought who could ensure KHK MMA Team makes its mark in the sport. From UFC contenders Khabib Nurmagomedov and Frankie Edgar to esteemed coaches Renzo Gracie , John Kavanaugh and Bob Schirmer, as well as UFC pioneer (turned strength and conditioning coach) Pete Williams, the foundation has been set. MMAjunkie caught up with these men to speak about KHK. Check out the video above.
