The Gracie challenge refers to a challenge issued by some members of the 2006 . The Gracie challenge entered American martial arts mythos when Rorion Gracie came to the United States to teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Gracie upheld the family's tradition and regularly took challenge matches at his facility. A common myth was that Gracie backed-up his challenges with a $100,000 guarantee, that he would pay the winner $100,000 should he lose. The misconception stemmed from a proposed challenge match with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez , where both Gracie and Urquidez would bet $100,000 on the outcome of the match. However, that match never occurred.Gentry, Clyde. ''No Holds Barred: Ultimate Fighting and the Martial Arts Revolution''. Milo Books, 2003. ISBN 1-903854-30-X. FOOTNOTES |
