Rickson beachfight - the complete video
Rickson Gracie's 1988 fight against Hugo Duarte on the beach in Rio has become legendary, not only because it was one of the classic BJJ vs. Luta Libre 'encounters', but also because Rorian Gracie featured a highly edited version of the fight on the Gracie in Action tapes. For years, Luta Livre fighters and fans claimed that Rorian edited out sections of the tape that show Duarte doing well in the fight.
Now, this unedited version of the fight has appeared and you can finally judge for yourself. While most of the fight is blocked by the crowd, it is interesting for historical purposes. Enjoy.

I've watch this video and i even think hugo is gaining advantage in the early part of the fight.But rickson come in top and win at the end. But until today i still question of rickson being considered one of the best fighter i want him to match up with some top names at his time.

I know the video is from a while ago, but so difficult to watch. Great idea to post it.

Rickson is a legend. Video's like this only add to the mystique of Rickson. Definately wish they had higher quality, but what are you going to do.
