Batman continues to terrorize lowlifes – now, with techniques popularized by the UFC and Jiu-Jitsu.

By Dão Tavares

That MMA and Jiu-Jitsu has become all the rage around the world, everybody knows. What not too many GRACIEMAG fans may know, though, is that even Batman has his leverage and submission holds up to snuff to take on the bad guys.

Check out the video recommended by our reader Justin Klemm.

But don’t take that as being a metaphor, dear reader. The tough old warrior literally put on a mask, and trained sporting a stylish Batman, the Dark Knight disguise.

Another to bare his heart to the press was Rolles Gracie, 31, interviewed by Thomas Gerbasi, of the official UFC website. On the last-minute opponent change, Rolles praised Joey Beltran – announced as a substitute for Mustafa Al-Turk, who had visa troubles, as GRACIEMAG.com reported earlier this week.

“When you fight at this level, you can’t afford to underestimate any fighter,” said Gracie. “I’m training a lot, investing many hours of my day to this, and it will be a tough fight. If I make a mistake, he will capitalize and punish me. So I’m preparing for a war. ”
