I'm just reporting this but were they really robbing him? :)

You'll have to start reading from the last tweet to the first. Also my paint skills are nothing to mess with.

That's the renzo I used to hear stories about from guys who knew. A mean SOB. According to them, he used to go out just to look for this exact thing.

He's a pacifist teddy bear compared to his brother Ryan who died mysteriously in a Brazilian jail.

God I love the Gracie family. It's a whole bloodline of Brazilian Batmen with a fetish for twisting people into balloon animals while tweeting about beating assholes down.

Bless you, Renzo Gracie. You do God's work.

I hope these two dudes were muggers, otherwise Renzo could get in deep trouble. Sounds like a higly trained martial artist beat up two random dudes.

If they were actually about to mug him then fair play Renzo you mad bastard. Whatever I do in life, I will make sure I never do anything to anger you or any of your family.

I personally believe that they were trying to mug Renzo because he was acting drunk and baiting them, or that this is a publicity stunt. Renzo did sound genuine while explaining to so I am inclined to believe the former. Renzo was looking baiting these guys and these guys took it hook line and sinker. Not saying I believe every word; I assume he is sensationalizing a little bit. If any of it is true, though, Renzo is a little sadistic, and I like it.

I spent a lot of time out of home in my early teenage years, dealt with many people like the people that Renzo is talking about. Renzo has good awareness, he knows from being around criminals in the past what to look out for. If I was in Renzo's situation i'd have done very similar.

If somebody reaches into your pocket without your consent I believe that can be deemed as assault? Renzo even said he doesn't smoke and they have the nerve to put their hands on him and in his pockets?

No honest person acts like that. Renzo is street smart, I like it. I probably wouldn't have gone back looking for the other guy, I would always mug a mugger after detaining them though, just for a taste of their own medicine :)

I think he meant it would teach them a lesson in what is right and what is wrong. They might have chosen a helpless drunk to pick on and mug, but this time they chose a BJJ god, and they got what was coming to them. The lesson they learned is probably just to be more careful who you mug, to be honest. But they deserved it either way (if this is true).

That if you're going to be muggers, you may as well go whole hog and carry a weapon.

Seriously though, the fact that they didn't even have a knife between them and took a while to decide to mug him tells me they don't do this often and may decide it just isn't worth the risk after taking this beating.
