Renzo Gracie Defends Rodrigo Gracie Jr.
A few days ago, Rose Gracie started a campaign denouncing Rodrigo Gracie Jr. as a false member of the Gracie family. Her cousin, Renzo Gracie, has come to the defense of Rodrigo Jr.
In a comment section on Instagram, Renzo simply posted this comment and a reply to another person’s comment.
“He is a Gracie.. a solid one.” Also, “he is family. Simple as that.”- Renzo Gracie
Members of the Gracie family have historically never seen eye to eye on many things and this seems to be another thing that they don’t agree on.
Rose Gracie found Rodrigo Jr’s ID without that excluded the name Gracie and an alleged falsified belt certificate from red belt Francisco Manur.
There hasn’t been any hints that legal action will be taken by either side, but one thing is clear. Rose thinks Rodrigo Jr. is a fake Gracie and Renzo Gracie supports him.
Will let you know if anything else comes from this story.
