If a fight goes on too long, it's because fighters are squeamish about smashing balls and breaking bones, including finger bones.I always wanted to enjoy any vale tudo fight I saw, but most bored me to death.
They either go on far too long, or the Gracie crew riots when they start losing.
There was a back of the hall Gracie challenge match from approx 20 years ago that the Gracies tried to cover up (and take mob revenge over).
One of their family fought a French MMA fighter, one of two brothers, in a sports hall. Took a beating and I think the Gracie quit.
I don't recall much else as at the moment but does it ring any bells?
Damien Riccio was the guy
No, sorry to disappoint. I'm nobody, wildest thing I've done was 10 wrestling matches in seniors. I came across this story some time ago, maybe after reading Mikko Rupponen's book. Check Rupponen too, some of his matches are on YouTube.is that you, Damien?
Appreciate the video!
