UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie now representing rival promotion Bellator
The UFC Hall of Fame is having an increasingly bigger presence with rival Bellator MMA.
Officials today announced that UFC 1 tournament winner and 2003 UFC Hall of Fame inducteeRoyce Gracie has joined Bellator as a nation brand ambassador. His new role comes after the organization’s recent signings of fellow hall members Stephan Bonnar and Tito Ortiz.
In addition to help promoting Bellator events, “Gracie will host seminars, be involved in autograph and promotional appearances, as well as aiding in the international expansion of Bellator around the world,” according to today’s announcement.
In a statement, Gracie, 47, said new Bellator President Scott Coker played a pivotal role in getting him aboard. Additionally, he suggested there’s no ill will toward the UFC.
“I have known Scott for a long time and have always respected him as not only a promoter but as a martial artist who has always treated fighters with respect and truly understands their value,” Gracie stated. “Bellator and Viacom want to give fans exciting fights and enable fighters to continue to grow and most importantly provide for their family, and it’s something I want to be a part of.
“UFC has done a great job over the past 29 years in building this sport and taking it globally, and I’m glad to have been part of that. But Bellator is a growing organization I am honored to be a part of, and with the dedicated and talented people already associated with the company, we can further the growth of mixed marital arts as a sport worldwide.”
Gracie (14-2-3), one of MMA’s earliest stars, fought in the UFC’s first five events before taking his talents to Japan. He then returned to the UFC in 2006 for a single bout, a non-title loss to then-champ Matt Hughes (and subsequently failed a drug test due to an anabolic steroid). He fought one more time, at Dynamite!! USA in mid-2007, and defeated Kazushi Sakuraba before retiring from the sport.
In recent years, Gracie has done occasional broadcasting and TV/film work, and he’s been involved with a handful of UFC fan events.
Coker said he’s happy to have the MMA legend aboard.
“To call Royce a legend would be an absolute understatement,” he stated. “Royce and the Gracie family are directly responsible for making this sport what it is today, and we are incredibly fortunate to have him be a part of the Bellator family. Royce will serve in many different capacities for Bellator, and I look forward to our fighters, staff and most importantly, our fans, in having the chance to interact with one of the most iconic figures in sports.”
According to the announcement, Gracie will be involved in the promotion of the company’s next major event, Bellator 131, on Nov. 15. Coincidentally, the event goes head-to-head with UFC 180, a pivotal show that marks the UFC’s Mexico debut, and WSOF 16.

Why train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Why train BJJ at First Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Utah?
Improve your cardio, get more energy, and eliminate the stress that was brought on from work before you go home.
You will feel more comfortable and confident going into work on the next day because you will know what real pressure is and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helps you understand the importance of staying calm under pressure.
BJJ also helps to keep your ego in check what makes it a lot easier to work with your coworkers. You simply take what you do on the mats and apply it to the workplace.
You become more easygoing and more open-minded when it comes to the ideas of coworkers as well as any individuals that reports directly to you.
Besides, all those benefits will naturally be applied in all aspects of your life. Family and friends will notice and get curious about your new life-style.
Another reason for you to start training at First BJJ is that it’s FUN! That’s right, you will have fun going to BJJ class to learn a new technique or build upon the self-defense skills that you have been working on. If you were never excited to go to the gym to lift or run on the treadmill, consider yourself a very fortunate person to have found a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school where everyone is on the same page of helping every teammate get better.

Gender Equality
I am sure that while many parents would consider martial arts for their sons, not nearly as many would consider it for their daughters. However the martial arts are one of the few sports where both boys and girls can play together. At First bjj Academy we have a large amount of girls in our Jr Program and in many classes they outnumber the boys. The girls are among the most technically proficient students we have and often dominate many of the local, regional and national competitions they enter. Martial Artist also gives brothers and sisters an opportunity to practice together and learn from one another as well (not to mention the convenience of having all of your kids in one place at a time).
