The note I took was this is a person who's actually made use of his full potential.

It is really extraordinary what you've accomplished in jujitsu.

Thank you.

I mean, the Gracie name at this point is synonymous with jujitsu.

Yes.

In large part, thanks to just your unbelievable accomplishments.

We'll get into some of the specifics for sure as we go, but there was one moment in the documentary that defined for me why you're so different than everyone I've ever met.

And that is you were in a championship fight, but the way that it was was it was rounds back to back, or fights back to back.

So you would beat one opponent, then you'd get paired with another opponent.

And so you and this other guy each had, I think, two full fights before you met.

Yeah.

And he had been punched in the face so many times that he couldn't see.

And in the locker room, somebody in your corner said, you've got to punch him.

And do you remember what you said?

And that was the thing that I found so interesting in your whole journey.

And even when you ask your brothers and cousins, like, what are the things that made you so special?

You hear that idea of spirituality a lot.

Like he really understood his body.

He understood like the transcendent nature of the fight.

And seeing that, the honor of that, and that for you, fighting seemed to be connected to something else.
