Renzo Gracie
Renzo Gracie is a Brazilian mixed martial artist and judoka born in Rio de Janeiro on March 11, 1967.
A citizen of Brazil, Gracie has pursued a career across two combat disciplines: judo and mixed martial arts. Both occupations are recorded in his professional profile, and together they define the primary athletic identity he has maintained across his career.
Gracie uses both Portuguese and English. The Library of Congress Name Authority File records him under the authorized label "Gracie, Renzo," establishing a formal bibliographic identity that corresponds to his standing as a practitioner in combat sports.
The consistent thread running through the available record of Gracie's life is his identity as a combat sports practitioner. His occupations as a judoka and mixed martial arts fighter, his Brazilian citizenship, and his Rio de Janeiro origins form the core of what the documentary record attests about him.
Quotes by Renzo Gracie

I believe in myself over everyone else. There’s nothing that walks on two legs that I’m afraid of.

People ask if I hate my opponents; I don’t. I love them. They are the ones that actually make me bring the best I have.

The secret of this sport is, while you’re the nail, hang in there, let them hit you, until the day you become the hammer, then you smash them back!
