Rorion Gracie founder of UFC has been ignored he should have been first in UFC Hall of Fame in the CONTRIBUTORS WING.

Now Rorion is saying another founder needs help... Richard Bresler.

“When I decided to open the first Gracie Academy on 1951 W Carson St, Richard’s contribution was instrumental to funding the project. Then when the idea for the UFC needed to move from paper to reality, he was one of the 29 investors that made it possible. If you, like millions of people around the world, have discovered the benefits of this incredible art, you can rest assured that you have a debt of gratitude to Richard Bresler.

“The time has come for us to show appreciation to all he has done. Richard — who doesn’t drink - has cirrhosis of the liver. He needs a special treatment to be done in Texas that is not covered by his insurance.

UFC isn't a person. It can't "ignore" anything.

I don't think this is something UFC would fund. Members of the Jiu Jitsu community are stepping up though, Richard already has 24K in the go fund me.

Citizens United makes businesses "people".

They have enough to take care of him.

Gracies are multi millionaires. They can handle this situation on their own.

It's got to be a red pill helping start/funding guys/orgs that collectively made billions but you probably didn't make your investment back and end up needing a gofundme

Then you have this guy mouthing off that you don't deserve shit

Not seeing why the UFC should be expected to help someone with such a tenuous relation to itself. Might be a nice gesture, but you know, yada yada, slippery slope and all that. I bet there are exceedingly few UFC personnel who've even heard of this gentleman.

Never heard of anyone having cirrhosis without being a drunk
I don’t think it’s possible ?

 

[ryun253]

If he cared that much, why not pay out himself or host seminars for donations or something. He & his family are multi millionaires

 

[sanguinius]

That's ridiculous. How many people is the UFC expected to just throw money at for the rest of their lives? Should anyone that has ever fought, coached, or invested in the UFC just get a million dollar salary for the rest of the lives?

Yes...
Nah seriously tho, how can you be worth tens of millions but you won't help out your so called friend?
Fuck the gracies.

Also repeatedly saying he doesn't drink makes me think he drinks...a lot.

Yes, you can get cirrhosis without drinking at all. It's a fatty build up in the liver. A guy I worked with for years wife died from cirrhosis without ever drinking

Exactly, don't tell me they could not find 100K for their beloved friend.

There are many ways to get cirrhosis without drinking. Viruses, autoimmune disease, drugs, etc.

Reminds me of when I'm shopping at jewel, a store that annually does $31 billion in revenue, and while I'm paying the prompt asks me if I want to donate a $1 to some tug at my heart strings cause.
I'm hell no. How about Jewel donates part of their profits to them
