K, so it's starting to seem like any Gracie fight is a foregone conclusion. I'm not really sure where to start booking the Gracies, since they appear to be perpetual LOSERS. Kinda unfortunate, but once you know their 1-dimension, they are all kinda useless. Adapt or die, motherfuckers. These motherfuckers aren't adapting, so as you can see, they are just dying. Let us all get together and pity them now.
