beanouno - Renzo had the best stand up of all Gracie's IMO.
IMO Crosley was more technical than Renzo......but clearly didnt have the career that Renzo did. (I say "did" because I really hope he never fights again).
Domingo - It has been a while, but I believe that Carlson was even trying to legally adopt Vitor.
Back in the day there was a lot of talk about Vitor even before he fought Jon Hess, and everyone at that time called him Gracie.
this is correct. Carlson "adopted" Vitor. I only put that in quotations because it is not legally binding. but he is very much Carlsons "son". he faught under the gracie name. but as stated before, he chose not to take the name legally and went with Belfort (his real dad's last name).
Holy fuck, this is interesting and I thought I knew a lot about mma.. Obviously not, since I've never even heard a snippet about this before
Ever a GRACIE with superior standup....the answer is yes, sort of.
a few old schoolers will remember George Burns and his comedic partner and Wife GRACIE in the early days clips. she had impeccable comedic timing as a STANDUP COMEDIANNE before he became more famous as a solo standup comedy guy.
