Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend and former PRIDE fighter Ralph Gracie was sentenced to six months in prison for assaulting Flavio Almeida.
Globo first reported that a United States court sentenced Gracie to six months in prison for the assault, along with three years of probation. According to Almeida’s lawyers, Gracie was also fined $50,000, will have to attend anger-management classes, and is prohibited from leaving the United States.
The assault allegedly took place at the IBJJF 2018 World No-Gi Championship. According to BJJHeroes, Almedia was watching a BJJ match when Gracie walked up beside him and smashed him in the head with an elbow he never saw coming. The cheat shot resulted in Almeida suffering injuries, including seizures and three broken teeth. You can watch a video of the incident below.
