Roger Gracie Gomes is a highly-decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. He is a member of the Gracie family, the son of Reyla Gracie (who is the daughter of Carlos Gracie) and Mauricio Motta Gomes (one of the six Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts of Rolls Gracie). His most notable achievement to date is winning the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship in 2005, taking first place in the 88–98kg and Open-weight categories by submitting all eight opponents—a feat that had not previously been achieved.[citation needed]
Gracie is the main instructor at The Roger Gracie Academy located in West London, England. His fellow black belt instructors include Jude Samuel and Ray Stevens, who is a multiple judo champion and BJJ black belt.
Gracie defeated Ron Waterman in his mixed martial arts debut by armbar submission in the 1st round at the Bodogfight pay-per-view USA vs Russia.
On the 18th May 2008 Roger Gracie competed in the Japanese MMA event Sengoku 2, where he defeated Yuki Kondo at 2:40 min of round 1 by rear naked choke.
