After his Metamoris III draw with Royler Gracie, Eddie Bravo was backstage throwing up and was approached by Royce Gracie. In an article with mmamania.com Bravo talked about what was said and how he thought that it was hilarious that Royce Gracie challenged him to a fight when he doesn’t even do MMA.
Here are a few Eddie Bravo quotes from the article:
“I’m throwing up after the event, we went 20 hard minutes, I’m so emotional; my mom is there, I’m crying, it was just crazy. After it was all done, I felt like I had to throw up. I’m throwing up on the side of a tent… I hear this voice behind me,
‘It’s good that you said these things about my family.’ I’m like who is this? I turn around, wipe throw up off my mouth and it’s Royce Gracie, and he goes:
‘It’s good that you’re saying what you say because you used to talk shit about my family.’ And then I get up and I’m like ‘Dude, I never talked shit on your family, who is telling you these lies?’ And I go in my book, like I told him, my book in 2005, I thank you, and I’m pointing, I have my finger like, ‘I thank you. I thank Royler. I thank your father,’ and he thought that was disrespectful, because I was like pointing at him, he goes ‘Don’t point your finger at me! Don’t disrespect me!’ And he gets in my face like he wants to fight me, and Jean Jacques Machado, he separates us. Man, Royce Gracie wants to kick my ass? How cool is that!”
“He said I was throwing up because his brother dominated me, that’s why I was throwing up. How hysterical is that?!”
“He wants to do an MMA match with me, he doesn’t want to do jiu-jitsu, he only wants to do MMA. I’m like, ‘I don’t even do MMA! What are you talking about?’ Either way, it’s hilarious that Royce fucking Gracie wants to beat me up.”
