I have some homework for you. There have been almost a million threads on this (I believe it now stands at 978,528) and in almost EVERY one someone brings up why Rickson didn't step "in to "save" the Gracie name."

As to why it is stil being brought up in interviews is beyond me...

Rickson's fault, eh? Source?

If no source that it's Rickson's fault, then STFU.

Agreed. This rumor has been told too many times for us to seriously believe it.

Now that I would like to see, Kron doesn't seem one-dimensional at all, his grappling doesn't look like traditional BJJ, he's more explosive and controlling. It'd be a perfect match, I think Rickson would get controlled the entire fight.
