Roger Gracie

Born on September 26, 1981, Roger Gracie is a three-time absolute BJJ world champion with ten gold medals under his black belt. The son of Maurição Gomes and Reila Gracie has broken every sort of record. As a finisher, no one has made their opponents tap out more times in the history of the sport. And from a defensive standpoint, his feat is even bigger: Roger has never been submitted in competition. In the gi, Roger was an absolute champion at ADCC 2005, where he even finished Ronaldo Jacaré, his greatest rival. In MMA, he has a record of eight wins and two losses. Roger retired from BJJ competition in 2017 with a superfight versus the fearsome Marcus Buchecha, who ended up being spectacularly choked from the back.
