Talk:Gracie challenge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Fact check

The Gracie challenge experienced a resurge in popularity in the 1980's when Rorion Gracie came to the United States and offered $100,000 dollars to anyone who could defeat him or one of his brothers.

Royce Gracie recently denied there was a $100,000 standing challenge for the Gracie challenge, although I can't remember where I read/heard it. I'm sure I was an oral interview. Anyway, Clyde Gentry in No Holds Barred did say that $100,000 was offered once, I believe to Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, but I'm not sure. In any case, if someone doesn't substantiate the above in a few days review my copy of NHB and come up with a more accurate sentence.hateless 17:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
