Royler Gracie now under 10th planet Jiu Jitsu

After Saturday’s match with Eddie Bravo, Royler Gracie announced that he is dissolving Gracie Humaitá.

“All Gracie Humaitá gyms are now 10th planet moons. During our match I realized that 10th planet Jiu Jitsu is truly the next evolution of Jiu Jitsu.” said Royler at the post-fight conference. When asked about his training camp coming into the fight Royler said “I used the techniques that has helped my family win fights my entire life, the Knee Slice Pass and attempting to cheat. The 10th planet lockdown stopped my Knee Slice and video replay destroyed my attempt to cheat. As technology is hear to stay, I have no choice but to start training in the 10th planet system.”

Eddie then added “We had a long discussion while I held him in my Vaporizer submission and it was decided that he would join Gracie Humaitá under 10th Planet with Royler holding the rank of 10th planet Brown Belt. I don’t give 10th planet Black Belts to people that don’t understand by Rubber Guard System, but I am confident in a year or two he will.”

When asked about whether Gracie Humaitá would still practice with the Gi, Royler stated “You know, the Gi is a Japanese Uniform, not a Brazilian One. My father the legendary Helio Gracie just liked to role play as a Japanese man. I guess that why there were always geisha around our house….”

Royler also had some comments regarding the now infamous argument between Eddie Bravo and his brother UFC 1 champion Royce Gracie backstage at Metamoris. “I think my brother Royce is just upset that its not the 90s anymore and that at this time he is irrelevant.” When asked whether Eddie Bravo or himself would fight Royce at Metamoris 4, Royler responded: “I don’t think so, Royce is usually too busy giving out Blue Belts at seminars to fight anymore.”
