The name Gracie is synonymous with combat sports.
Over the last few decades, names like Royce Gracie, Renzo Gracie, and Roger Gracie have left their mark in both Brazilian jiu-jitsu and MMA. But, understandably, every aspiring fighter who carries the legendary last name won’t reach the same level of success that his elders have.
That’s precisely where Kron Gracie finds himself. As the son of jiu-jitsu legend Rickson Gracie, he had some mighty big shoes to fill. And for the most part, he succeeded. Kron Gracie is a former IBJJF and ADCC world champion as well as a one-time Performance of the Night and Fight of the Night winner in the UFC.
