Everyone knew that McKenzie was a 'one trick pony', but the problem was that no one could stop it. On Saturday night, Marcus LeVesseur's actions led us to believe that he must not have watched that season of TUF.

'The Main Tournament Of My Life' - The Greatest Kyra Gracie Documentary You'll E

This settles it. Stuart Cooper is the best BJJ/MMA related videographer out there. You doubt us? Then watch this video.

The BJJ community is an awesome group of people, and this video only solidifies my belief in that statement. For Kyra Gracie, it’s about more than jiu jitsu. It’s about changing lives.
