More than ever before, Roger Gracie has become synonymous with the mother of all Jiu-Jitsu championships. Besides being the winningest champion in Worlds history, the Gracie, for some years now, has decided to make the competition the only stage for gi-clad combat on which to appear over the course of the year.
That being the case, there’s nothing more fitting than to relaunch the GRACIEMAG at the Worlds Blog with an exclusive interview with the three-time absolute champion black belt. Still undecided as to whether he will put in an appearance in Long Beach in 2011, Roger didn’t sidestep controversy and spoke with candor. In the conversation he revealed how he feels he is the most consistent Jiu-Jitsu competitor of all times. He also said he’s more concerned with his own Jiu-Jitsu than that of his opponents. On Rodolfo Vieira, the big name in the gentle art in 2011, he said he expects a great fight when they finally lock horns. In wrapping up, he disclosed his not-at-all-modest objective: to achieve perfection!
Not bad for the Graciemag at the Worlds Blog‘s relaunch. Plenty of more is to come!
