Renzo Gracie teaches 2 would be muggers a lesson

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/9/7/3299969/mma-renzo-gracie-twitter-takes-out-2-alleged-muggers-new-york#storyjump
Late last night, UFC veteran and MMA legend, Renzo Gracie sent out a bunch of twitter updates detailing his night as he 'dealt' with 2 alleged muggers at the streets of New York City. According to the 6th degree BJJ Black Belt, 2 men started following him for a few blocks at roughly around 3 a.m. ET, and things didn't end up well for them.

In a nutshell, Gracie eventually decided to take out both guys, while live tweeting about it at the same time.

I'm not sure what's more interesting, that two guys decided to target a life long martial artist, or Renzo taking them out while simultaneously tweeting about it. Check out how everything unfolded according to his twitter feed:

Quote :

Waiting for them... Are they really thinking I'm drunk??? They have to be kidding. Hahahaha

Quote :

Quote :

I just stop to take a pic, they pretend they are looking at the window, can't lie... My blood runs in a different speed, man I miss Brazil

Quote :

Quote :

Please hold there for just a couple minutes ;-) be right back

Quote :

They are coming closer, asking for a cigaret ;-) lol can't help but have a smile in my face. I don't smoke. Pretend to wobble. They smile

Renzo stops tweeting for about 20 minutes, and that's apparently when things started to escalate. Read everything after the jump.

Quote :

My hands hurt... Can't help but look at him the other one took off running, not much of a friend. Chicken :-/ I can still see him, he looks Back as he runs, no chance to catch him... Even though I began to try to run after him, I realize How slow I was. Fuck it :-///

Quote :

This one asks me why did I do that, pretending to be stupid, one little kick to the ribs makes him whine and apologize, as I'm writing this.

Quote :

I ask him if he was planing to rob me, he says no. All he wanted was a cigarette, lol I can't help but have a big smile upon my face, and .. The certainty that if it was an ordinary man he would be sad about his stolen goods. Fucking cunt cries like a bitch when the tide turns..

Quote :

I can't help but take a pic as his nose bleeds and he wines and asks why did I do that... Like he doesn't know the reason...

Quote :

My fucking hands hurt, hurt like hell...

Quote :

Drove around two blocks... The other fellow disappear, I'm heading home... Angry for not finding the second one. Guess no sleeping tonight.

Quote :

I knew it ;-) yessss

About 30 minutes later, Renzo apparently found the 2nd guy:

Quote :

There is basic things like you don't come back to where the problem was.. You just don't, I knew he would, just going around the block would Be enough... Dumb f%#^ I just gave him the old style Raccoon, it has been a while since the last time I did.. Choke him out 3 times...

Quote :

And before he woke up I did hit each eye socket at least twice, tomorrow he will wake up like a raccoon, and every time he woke up I was... Whispering at his ears.. That's what death feels like it.. Don't do that again. My fucking hand hurts, :-/ a lot

Quote :

Next time I will use only the elbows, damn I miss that feeling, sometimes I wonder if the easy life has been making me Soft.. All those years in Brazil, without knowing if I would make it home had to count for something, I can't lie I could have jump in a cab But I could not help, I could spot them from a mile away, walking was my option, thank you mayor Giuliani, nobody carries a gun in our... Beautiful state, my lucky day, their bad day... My hand hurts and @FrankieEdgar is here at 9:30am for some training, shoot damn little guy

Quote :

Could not take a second pic guys sorry, believe I try, as I reach for my iPhone he almost took off :-/ fast mofo

I don't have a problem with what happened, but...seriously? I was just defending myself by choking the guy unconscious three times, punching him in the eyes while he was unconscious in deliberate attempt to leave lasting marks, and bragging about the whole thing on twitter as it went down, I swear!

I no understand, I think it's a language barrier. Brazilian instincts...

Sounds fake or like renaissance could be in some serious trouble unless their is evidence to back up his story. If he beat up some dudes asking him for a smoke he is going to jail. Attorneys soil be looking for these two guys.

Stupidest thing he did was tweet about it, even if they were robbing him. He says he punched him in each eye while the guy was out cold? Dude, this ISN'T Brazil brosef

Mess with Renzo Gracie, and you'll not only get two black eyes, but the whole world will know about it, thanks to his iPhone.

Gracie, a Brazilian forefather of MMA and former fighter, might be the first fighter to live tweet an alleged attempted mugging.

"I had time to do everything – to take the pictures, to write," he today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com). "I was just waiting for them to approach me, and that's exactly what they did."

To eliminate any suspense, the altercation ended badly for the two alleged assailants.

Gracie, who lives in New Jersey and teaches in New York City, said he was leaving a restaurant and walking to his car when two men began following him. Immediately, he sensed something was wrong and began tweeting.

"I just stop [sic] to take a pic, they pretend they are looking at the window, can't lie," he wrote. "My blood runs in a different speed, man I miss Brazil."

His fears proved founded when one of the men approached him and asked for a cigarette. When he said he didn't smoke, the man became agitated, Gracie said.

"Then he grabbed my arm, and he reached for my front pocket, where my wallet was," Gracie said.

Bad move.

"I hit him with a left hook and a straight right hand," Gracie said. "He fell. Then I went to grab the second one, and he took off running."

Gracie couldn't catch up and returned to the scene of the altercation. He also found the time to activate the camera on his iPhone and snap a few pics and tweet after announcing he was calling 911.

Unsatisfied, he interrogated the punched-out man on the other's whereabouts and then hopped in his car to find him.

"I was so angry," Gracie said. "I went all the way to the West Side Highway."

Like a classic revenge scene in a movie, Gracie found his man a short distance away and surprised him, he said.

"When I turned, he was right there, and I jumped on his back and choked him out," he said.

Then came the lesson.

"In Brazil, as a way of punishment, we used to say, 'Let's give him the [raccoon look],'" Gracie said. "So after I choked him, I hit him a few times in the eye area.

"Nothing serious, but just to make sure that today he has two shiners."

MMAjunkie.com could not immediately reach law-enforcement officials for comment on Gracie's alleged confrontation.

The 45-year-old Gracie (13-7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) hinted at a return to the octagon in June, but he has yet to get a fight. His most recent appearance came in April 2010, when UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes stopped him at UFC 112.

I don't think anything will happen to Renzo, but tweeting about it was stupid imo. Just incase he killed the one he chased after by mistake.

I think he's full of shit tbh.

mid life crisis

yeah it read very bullshitty. more douche than anything else
