For this week’s Before They Were Stars segment, we feature the 4x Absolute World Champion Roger Gracie as a purple belt. In this match, you can see that while his jiu jitsu was very good, he was still trying to find a niche for himself.
Enjoy this rare look into Roger’s past!

Charlie I am really digging the new format. Roger Gracie, Matt Serra from years back. How awesome is that. Now for Roger, that looked like a small tournament which emphasizes the importance of doing each tournament we can get our hands on. Watching it also reminds me that at 14 tournaments into it now it still takes a long while to get the strategy and style down and to just keep competing. Thanks.
Thanks Mike!
There are more things to come here @ subcon. I have more vintage unreleased Matt Serra stuff.
