Rolles Gracie Jr. (born July 14, 1978) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist, pro-wrestler and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. As the son of Rolls Gracie, he is a third generation martial arts member of the Gracie family, and a 4th degree black belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
Gracie stepped into the International Fight League for his first MMA fight on the undercard of the IFL World Team Championships in 2007. He joined his cousin Renzo Gracie's New York Pitbulls in the IFL. Gracie's younger brothers Igor and Gregor are also mixed martial artists. Gracie was set to fight Ricardo Romero at Ring of Combat 24, April 17, 2009, but he withdrew from the fight a week before due to an injury sustained in practice.
Gracie signed with Art of War Fighting Championship and made his debut on May 23, 2009, where he defeated in a mixed martial match Magomedbag Agaev from Daghestan at 5:09 seconds in Round 1. Rolles, in his second fight for the Art of War FC promotion, defeated K-1 kickboxing veteran, but at the time 0–2 in MMA, Peter Graham early in the first round.
Gracie was expected to make his UFC debut on February 6, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada against Mostapha Al-Turk Due to Mostapha Al Turk having visa troubles, Gracie instead faced Joey Beltran in his UFC debut. Gracie managed to take down Beltran early via the clinch. Gracie immediately got to the mount and attempted a rear naked choke. Beltran was able to free himself and eventually reverse his way out of the mount. Gracie was exhausted after three minutes, and he gasped for air during several takedown attempts in the second round. On his third try, he lay on the mat and Beltran went to work. Beltran landed 15 shots as Gracie turtled, causing referee Herb Dean to stop the fight at 1:31 of the second round.
