Love the Gracie legacy or hate it, the fact remains that this is the man who invented Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, one of the key factors that gave rise to the sport of mixed martial arts.

Rest in peace old timer. Should god's hand descends upon the world on judgement day, even he shall be wary of the sneak attack armbar.

Damn, it wasn't a week ago I was thinking about Helio and wondering how much time he could possibly have left. RIP

Sad.

But he was old, and lived longer then most of us will.

Without Helio,

There would be no BJJ, which means
There would be no MMA, which means
There would be no sherdog, which means
There would be no TCM, which means
The world would be a much gheyer place.

RIP, much respek, and thanks for all you've given us.

RIP Helio. He created more jobs than any recent democratic congressman, and brought so much to the world. Sad day, indeed.
