Rolles Gracie in ADCC

[luke]

I noticed on the ADCC page that Rolles Gracie is in the event. I assume this is the son of the legend. How old is he and what is his competition record like?

Thanks,

Luke

He's probably about 20 years old and he is the son of Rolles Gracie. He trains at the Gracie Barra academy in Rio. Very tall, around 6'5" tall. He's a brown belt. I believe he won his weight class in last years world championships (brown). In lat years team tournament he beat Saulos' brother Alexandre(Brown) and Orlando Neto(Black). Finished 3rd in the '99 Worlds as a purple belt. Finished 2nd in the '98 worlds in his weight class and the absolute division. That's the only results that I have. HE's very technicle. He should beat Kohsaka, but Rigan machado will be a tough match in the second round.

Rolles is the son of Rolles Sr. He is a brown belt with Gracie Barra. He's probably about 20 years old. He's about 6'6" tall. Finished 2nd in his weight class and absolute in '98 worlds(purple), 2nd in his weight class in the '99 worlds(purple), defeated Saulo's brother Alexandre(Brown) and Orlando Neto(Black) as a brown belt in the 2000 team tournament. I belive he won his weight class in the 2000 worlds(brown) and the Brazilian nationals, both his weight and absolute(brown), but not 100% sure.

yeah and he had green hair at one point, maybe still does?

or maybe that was igor gracie??

[tuffguy]

That was Rolles. He even had yellow on the sides and green on the top at one point. I think he's back to normal now.

Rolles gained an inch before tuffguy posted the same information a second time.

afh... i noticed that too... funny shiite!!!

I didn't hink the first post went threw. I had some problems with my computer. Then posted again and was told he was 6'6", so I updated his height. There is a cool picture of him with the other guys from Barra/Renzo on the ADCC news page, Matt Serra, Nino, Rolles, Ricardo almeida, Rodrigo gracie. http://news.adcombat.com/archives/041101/Dsc00325.jpg
You can see how he towers over the guys, RIcardo is 6' himself and he looks short in comparison.

I think the tall guy in the pic is Pe de Pano from Barra Gracie

Are you sure that is not a young Lurch, in an early photo before he got his big break in the Adam's Family?
