Fighters trained by Rickson Gracie

Any fighter trained by Rickson Gracie, the best MMA fighter in the history, is competing in MMA events now? If Rickson Gracie is training any fighter, why not?

He has one mma fight and people call him the best mma fighter ever? Nah maybe best gracie jiu-jitsu grappler ever and thats debatable with Roger Gracie. Best fighter ever award goes to Fedor and only him because he has proven himself, Rickson hasnt. GG.

Whether you like it or not, Rickson Gracie has 400 MMA victories. Now back to the topic.

i love this Rickson Myth, i went out to LA last year, i train at Renzo Gracie's Academy in NYC so they allowed me to roll there, Rickson was there with Kron, Kron is a phenom he is only 17 and he is insane, i saw rickson rolling, he was slick, but i would put my money on Renzo in a match, he is not the best ever, maybe at grappling, maybe, but you have to fight to be the best, once again i have seen both renzo and rickson roll and i would take renzo in a match grappling or otherwise

Yeah, but part of the Rickson myth is that his GnP was vicious. Also, his stand up was far superior to any other Gracie. Where other Gracie's liked to finish with subs, Rickson liked to finish by smashing your face from above.
