Media Kron Gracie speaks out after pitiful performance at UFC 288

Reminds me of Ahnuld in Pumpin' iron "I give him the wrong advices"!

But that was just a accent thing. This is developmentally disabled.

Don't forget...

The Cituation, referring to Jersey Shore guy

Hell yeah. It's not my fault! It's the advice I took and the bjj community! NOT ME OF COURSE!!!!

Kon Gracie came in angry talking about all he does is Jiu jitsu and shoot guns, as if he was motivated to do the worst in the octagon only to go out like a whimper of a fart. Now scapegoating his lose on others. Sad to see how far the Gracie’s have fallen from grace in MMA.

 

[jjjjjjjjjjohnny]

BJJ is a tool and must be incorporated in to a fighters arsenal in mma. There is no one dimensional fighter that will be a goat in todays world.

When I was young and watched choke in the late 90s/early 2000s i remember thinking 'damn if rickson is this good then i cant wait to see how his son will carry the baton forward for the gracie family'

Boy was i wrong

Sadly, none of this is even the most embarrassing thing the Gracies have done. That would be selling belts online.

kron reminds me of some people i have met. then when he moved and you see him change his personality, hes got the dip in the lip and all that, and i realized i know this person. i've met so many of these. kron did not have a normal childhood. kron does not have a normal way of thinking. he has a lot of ego and hes paranoid. On top of all this hes not super smart or great at thinking for himself. he latches onto things likes hes trying to find an identity all the time. crazy things like flat earth. i get the mentality to lose faith in what you are told and to seek what you feel is the truth but kron is just so cringe. idk how to put it into words properly but hes become only cringe to me. sort of like the diaz brothers mentality where they are like fuck everything but don't even really understand how things actually work.
also team diaz needs to get out of the sport if its not to their liking. there used to be no rules and time limits. that shits over with. its a sport. play the sport or stop trying to act like you're above it and leave.

claims his performance was meant to please the BJJ community...
the BJJ community

As part of the BJJ community, I wanted him to work on his takedowns over the last few years and set them up with his jab.

I want those guys to carry me when I die.

You’re all by yourself in there you can’t use that excuse. I don’t think they said don’t throw punches. If they did it’s because he was underprepared and they were afraid of what would happen if he tried to engage in stand up. Weird excuse.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

Listening to someone who says to not throw a punch in an mma fight shows low IQ. He’s a Gracie and should know better.

Agreed on the first part, but no Gracie from Kron's side of the family has ever been able to throw a punch.

His own father, Rickson, was a comical adherent to "the Frankenstein" stance.

 

[Coconutwater]

He didn't even attempt a takedown. That was weird to watch. What is he even training?

I keep telling dudes, Kron has no legit takedows, no singles or doubles worth executing. He can do them, but he’d get KTFO, knee’d to the head.

He doesn’t shoot because he knows he’s slow at it.

 

[information]

Haha, please someone tell me this is fake.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Cituation? Tryed? Comuintity?

Dude was born in LA...

I'm stuck on understanding why a screenshot of a block of text would be cocked on an angle.

[dogsdonutsdragons]

do people really believe he isn't incentivized to fight that way financially through his family in some way? especially given it was the 30th anniversary and all.

You don’t know judo. You don’t know jiujitsu
