Retired MMA fighter, Renzo Gracie, live tweets as he beats down muggers in NYC

That depends on how good the prosecutor is. Their criminal history may not be relevant as it would presume that Renzo somehow knew who they were and what their history is. All that Renzo has is reasonable suspicion that he was under threat. The problem with that though is that once he starts hunting the other guy down the threat goes out the window.

 

So cute. Mayhem, the drug addict found naked in a church, whom Dana White kicked out of the UFC, trying to be relevant. Unfunny douche.

 

The enemy deserves no mercy!!

Spoiler

 

Thats pretty funny

 

Funny as hell actually, his past isn't relevant in this.

 

That is true, chasing the second guy in his car was not a smart idea, should have just kept on hitting the first guy until the second person returned. :grin:

 

Guess i missed the part where they mugged him?

guy sounds like a ****in idiot

 

He didn't live tweet the mugging because they were trying to mug him.

Obviously there was a gap in the tweets when the guy grabbed his wrists and he kicked the shet out of them.

 

As do you

 

I know it's only a hint, but my question to you is: would you leave your buddy behind if some psycho jumps at him after being asked for a smoke?

 

IF I had to put my money on something, I would bet that he was really drunk.

 

This story is awesome.

I'm glad he didn't get shot, and that would be the inspiration for any MMA trainee not to pull off the same reckless thing.

But this scenario happens in big cities at night, so I don't feel sorry for those two dudes at all.

You don't ask random people you walk behind for a cigarette in the dead of night just for a cigarette. You just don't.

 

Good luck being his lawyer and using that as an explanation.

 

He's well off. Good luck to him.

 

The photo he took looks pretty clearly like it's from the NYCHA projects around 25th st (if his initial geography is correct)...not the most dangerous ones in the world, but nothing you need to walk around at midnight by yourself unless you're looking for trouble, which apparently was what he was doing.

 

I'm totally willing to believe that these two guys were muggers and he probably waited for them to make the first move too. He doesn't tweet it, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. But, it doesn't matter. Even though these two guys were criminals engaged in a criminal act, his response was all out of proportion and way overboard. It was more vigilantism and sadism than it was self-defense. The mean streets of New York are not the mean streets of Brazil. We have lawyers here looking to sue everybody.

The 2 degenerate junkies probably don't regularly read mmafighting.com. But, then neither do I and I heard the story. If they don't run across it and figure out there's an opportunity here, someone will see the bruises and tell them.

Of course, it is quite possible (maybe even probable) that he started the story with a true altercation, and embroidered it. If they don't have all the bruises we expect from the tweets, he might be okay. And, these guys may have other crimes they're wanted for and don't want to bring attention to themselves, or a document status that can get them deported, or whatever. It's possible nothing comes of it. But, it really totally could too. And if a suit does come, his limited English and his growing up with violence in Brazil aren't exactly going to play in his favor.

 

You're right, next time i wanna beat someones ass, ima tweet the evidence cz thats what people who arent idiots do.
