Besides Rickson, who's the best Gracie to compete in MMA/ Grappling /Vale Tudo?
 
Roger

ADCC champ, Mundials champ and actual high level modern MMA reasonable success
 
Kron, hands down
 
Maybe Kron will become the best even but Roger out-does him still.

IMO he out-does Rickson too who competed in a much lesser talent pool.
 
Not sure if Rolls ever competed or if he just trained and taught but if he did he'd be defacto #1 and Rickson would be #2
 
Royler, Roger, and Kron Gracie and the most accomplished of the family in BJJ competition.

Rickson, Rolls, Carlson, Helio, Rorion I think are more well known for their participation in challenge matches and Vale Tudo, not so much sport BJJ.
 
Carlson. His coaching lineage in MMA is deep too.
 
Just to clarify I auto say Rickson as #1 bc the rest of the clan say he is who have been asked... Yes I'm aware he is only officially sumthing like 11-0 and the alleged couple hundred other fighter are undocumented
 
He dominated against cans and then went 1:1 in pride, not very impressive. However, he did coach BJ Penn and Dave Camarillo.

For sure, i wouldn't say he was a top dog in the family, but certainly was not afraid to strike in comparison to the other. His style definitely rubbed off on BJ...do you know what happened to him?
