Royler Gracie (/ˈhɔɪlər ˈɡreɪsi/, born December 6, 1965) is a Brazilian mixed martial arts fighter. He is associated with the Gracie Humaitá jiu-jitsu school.

Biography

Royler is the brother of the fighters Rickson Gracie, Royce Gracie and Robin Gracie. He is the son of the co-founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Helio Gracie and holds a 6th degree black belt in the style[1].

Royler Gracie has competed in the black-belt ranks for 20 years. He is the only person to win the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship three consecutive years, and has won the ADCC more times than anyone else. Royler is also a four-time World Jiu Jitsu Champion in the under 67 kg Black Belt Division.

Royler suffered a big upset in the 2003 ADCC to Eddie Bravo by triangle choke. Eddie Bravo was a brown belt at that time. However, Bravo has not competed in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since that win.

Royler has a professional Mixed martial arts record of five wins, with four losses and one draw.

He is the co-author of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Theory and Practice and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Submission Grappling Techniques.
