Challenge is finished ?

[edit]

I notice it says WAS in the opening sentence ? So the Gracie Challenge is a thing of the past ?

Fact check

[edit]
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)[reply]

Examples

[edit]

Anyone got a short list of the most notable challenges, possibly with links? I think this would be especially relevant for the defeats the article mentions without giving further detail, due to the prominence of the Gracies. Leushenko (talk) 21:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image Image:Masahiko Kimura vs Helio Gracie ude-garami.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.

A weird article

[edit]

This only seems to consist of a list of fights the Gracies lost... While I might agree that they themselves advertise their wins too much and forget the stuff mentioned here, the fact is they beat tons of people who are not mentioned here at all. 62.78.251.108 (talk) 20:43, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think whoever wrote this doesn't like the Gracie family lol.just defeats.no notable wins,this article is ridiculous. Culturelles (talk) 01:05, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
