BJJ legend Renzo Gracie scolds Gina Carano for posting topless photo on Instagram

On Sunday, women’s MMA pioneer Gina Carano became a hot topic on Instagram when she put up a topless photo of herself. As the 38-year-old former Strikeforce contender noted on the post, it was her way of expressing her freedom as she lifted a quote from one of Prince’s final interviews.

The photo merely showed a silhouette of her upper body and was tastefully done. Most comments were that of praise and appreciation said in jest, but there was one that stood out. It came from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu legend Renzo Gracie, who saw it a bit differently from everyone else.
