Our friends at Jiu-Jitsu times recently released an article entitled 10 ways Ralek Gracie Messed Up Metamoris.
The article accuses Gracie of having harmed the professional grappling promotion, Metamoris, in the following manner:
Overspending
Too Many Draws
Not Giving Eddie Bravo Credit
Schedule events on the same weekend as EBI and the same day as Copa Podio
Screwing Garry Tonon
Disrespecting Female Competitors
Untrustworthy Online Site and Automatic Renewals
Losing a Major Investor
Screwing Metamoris Challengers Competitors
Using a warehouse to host it’s last few events.
UFC fighter Roan ‘Jucao’ Carneiro shared the article on his Facebook with the following title:
“Ralek is coward and screw a lot other fighters who isn’t mentioned on this article.”
Carneiro who is a respected member of both the BJJ and MMA community, seems to know more about Ralek Gracie’s dealing with fighters.
Roan Carneiro (born June 2, 1978) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist currently competing in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional competitor since 2000, Carneiro was the winner of the Battlegrounds MMA’s one-night, eight-man tournament, in which he won three fights to become the champion.
Carneiro began fighting in MMA professionally in 2000 at the age of 22 in his native Brazil. One of his earliest losses was to future longtime UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. He amassed a record of 10-6 before signing with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
