Renzo Gracie batters muggers live on Twitter

Yeah that interview paints quite a different picture. He should stay off twitter next time. He still shouldn't publicly say what he did to the second guy. Sounds like dude got what he deserved, but he could still possibly get in some trouble for that.

Def stay off of twitter next time lol. I figured there was more to the story but just going off 140 characters per tweet, leaves a lot of room for interpretation, and to me it sounded like he wanted to get into a fight and did just that.

maybe a fighter with renzo's years of experience understands better when he's being stalked, regardless of whether he felt he was in danger or not. let's not be so quick to judge him based on just tweets. it's not like it's on youtube.

From a legal perspective, clearly it isn't the smartest move to tweet your revenge assault on a mugger.

That being said, the muggers are in a weird scenario where they would have to concede that they mugged Renzo in the first place in order to put themselves in a situation to litigate against Renzo. Mathematically, it would be financially worth it but you would have to expect them to understand Renzo's worth while they would also have to be lucky enough to be aware of MMA media outlets in order to learn that Renzo Gracie beat them up and tweeted it. Oddly enough, if they had bookmarks to any MMA outlet that reported the story, they would probably have known who Renzo was and wouldn't have jumped him in the first place.

It's sort of like that football player that Roger Huerta beat up. In order for that guy to sue Roger, he would have had to admit to beating a woman. That's the advantage of beating up people when they commit a crime, they usually won't rat you out and admit to their own crime.

He hunted down the guy who ran away. LOL. That's not good if the cops come looking for him. We'll see.

Huerta's fight was on video.

Renzo is on tweets. Two witnesses against one if you think about it. And he admitted to hunting down the other guy and never filing a police report about his mugging. They wouldn't have to admit to anything. All they have to say is that they asked him for a cigarette and he started wailing on him.

i would have paid to see that shit ! and no judge would ever award those dudes a dime. it's funny how jiujitsu puts you in a place where physical combat with another dude or dudes is as natural as drinking a glass of water. & i tell people all the time if your scared of fighting another person that's exactly why you need to learn jits. those cats grabbed the wrong dude

Yer buggin. It's two guys word against one and by Renzo's own admission he hunted down the other guy. So, even if it started as self defense, it became battery. I hope those dudes never find out who they messed with and I hope Renzo stays out of trouble.

No! The two alleged muggers don't have to admit to anything. Some of the facts are: they were on the same side walk ( or alley) as Renzo. Two guys were beat up. Renzo waited for the other guy. Hard to claim self defense on that one. Tweets supporting those facts = Renzo settles out of court(Civil case).

those dudes aren't going to admit to robbery, plus they probably have records and may even be on probation or parole, & Renzo may be guilty of 1 count of battery but so what ! 1 night in jail and a fine aint shit to Renzo & giving those dudes a ass whoopin is well worth it. could one try to sue ? yea, does he want to go to rikers ? no, battery charge= a night in jail, some salami and cornbread, couple g's fine plus lawyer fee, kicking some dudes ass & possibly preventing others from being victimized = priceless
