<p>Hoje o fã do Jiu-Jitsu vê o gesto até como certa heresia. Afinal, como imaginar que Royce Gracie, hoje uma estátua viva que anda, poderia ser recebido com vaias no Octagon?</p>
<p>Mas, de fato, aconteceu, e por razões cristalinas. Mais do que um Davi no meio de uns 15 Golias com socos de derrubar camelos, o filho de Helio Gracie era, ali nos primeiros eventos, encarado como um forasteiro abusado, que ousava enfrentar e despachar os favoritos da torcida –&nbsp;os americanos. Como se não bastasse a audácia, o faixa-preta de 27 anos, “com um kimono impecável, como se recém-saído da lavanderia” (Fellipe Awi, em “Filho teu não foge à luta”) ainda fez pior: lutava no chão, sem chutes giratórios, sem socos nem sangue.</p>
<p>A constatação da birra com Royce está numa crônica curiosa, encontrada nos becos escuros da internet. Escrita pelo surfista e correspondente Carlos “Califa” Sarli, um dos fundadores da revista “Trip”, foi publicada no<a href="https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/1994/3/17/esporte/5.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> jornal “Folha de São Paulo” em 1994:</a></p>
<p>“Quinta-feira passada eu estava na casa do Paulo Lima, editor da revista ‘Trip&#8217;. Iria embarcar no dia seguinte para o Havaí. Estávamos numa reunião e tínhamos outra agendada para as 15h. Pego uma revista americana sobre artes marciais, a ‘Black Belt’, e vejo o artigo sobre o primeiro Ultimate Fighting Championship. Fiquei instigado. O Paulo me traz o catálogo da segunda versão do evento, que aconteceria no dia seguinte em Denver, Colorado. Tomei a decisão. Liguei para a United Airlines e antecipei meu embarque.”</p>
<p>Sarli não fazia ideia do que ia encontrar, e deixou claro seu choque, durante a revolução do vale-tudo, o evento que mudou a história das artes marciais e do Jiu-Jitsu. Mas deixe que o Califa conte:</p>
<p>“Em Denver, o Mannoth Event Center estava lotado. A primeira luta já havia começado. O público delirava quando os competidores trocavam socos e pontapés e vaiava quando eles iam para o chão, grudados, tentando a imobilização. Ficava mais difícil de entender o que estava rolando –literalmente– e também de assistir.</p>
<p>“O UFC II contava com a participação de Royce Gracie, brasileiro, faixa-preta de Jiu Jitsu quarto grau e vencedor da primeira edição do evento. Sem regras – a não ser a proibição de dedo no olho e mordidas – sem juízes e sem tempo determinado, o evento teve critério de simples eliminação. Dos 16 lutadores selecionados entre os melhores do mundo –Japão, França, Espanha, Holanda, EUA e Brasil– sobraram quatro, depois dois e, finalmente, o ‘ultimate’, o melhor.</p>
<p>“O clima tenso no ginásio só era quebrado quando duas garotas de biquíni passavam apresentando as modalidades do próximo embate, no mais autêntico estilo de boxe. Algumas lutas tingiram com sangue o piso do ringue octogonal. Outras exigiram a presença dos paramédicos para levantar o derrotado. Até o final, a única unanimidade foi Pat Smith, 30, lutador americano de kickboxing de Aurora, Colorado – local, portanto.</p>
<p>“Royce não contava com a simpatia do público. Suas lutas foram as mais rápidas e sempre no chão. Por duas vezes seus oponentes levantaram, mas logo vinha o golpe de misericórdia. Uma chave de pescoço ou algo parecido obrigava o valente a bater no chão.</p>
<p>“Com a torcida e o tamanho a seu favor, Smith foi para final com Royce. Tentou nos primeiros segundos golpeá-lo com chutes e socos, mas logo o brasileiro ‘entrou’ nele e, em apenas um 1min17s, o embate estava definido. Royce Gracie ficou com o título máximo e US$ 60 mil mais rico. Apesar de não estar entre os considerados ‘esportes de ação’ –que costumo cobrir na coluna – ação é o que não faltou. Valeu a pena a correria.”</p>
<p>A crônica podia ser chamar &#8220;Royce repete feito&#8221;, “A revolução”, “Lona tingida de sangue” ou “A descoberta do Jiu-Jitsu”. Mas Sarli estava ainda mais inspirado e lascou lá o título: “Sopa de tamanco”.</p>
<p>Em tempo: o finalista Pat Smith também competira no UFC 1, tendo sido despachado pelo compatriota Ken Shamrock, na primeira fase do UFC 1, também em Denver.</p>

<p>Online research will show that Steve Magdaleno&#8217;s mixed martial arts career started back in 2006. But more accurately, it started 16 years ago when the Southern Californian&#8217;s older brother brought home UFC 2 from the video store.</p>
<p>Watching Royce Gracie dominate much larger competition sparked an ever-lasting interest for the then-15-year-old, and there began a career path and passion for MMA. At the time, the sport wasn&#8217;t as accepted as it is now. But luckily for Magdaleno, his mom and dad were completely supportive.</p>
<p>&#8220;They were fine,&#8221; Magdaleno told GracieMag.com, referencing his family&#8217;s opinion of the controversial sport. &#8220;They saw Royce beating up people and my dad was excited about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>A trip to the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu location thereafter sealed the deal. Fast-forward to now, and the fighter prepares to feature in a co-main event for the BAMMA USA promotion, a regional MMA league based in the Greater Los Angeles area.</p>
<p>With a win over Chris Culley at &#8220;BAMMA USA: Badbeat 8&#8221; on Friday, March 15, Magdaleno can collect his fourth consecutive victory. If he gets by Culley with a submission or knockout, it will also be his fourth straight finish.</p>
<p>Performances and streaks like these bring attention to a fighter in Magdaleno&#8217;s position. The attention not only comes from local spectators, but it also has the capability of catching the eyes of larger promotions like Bellator and the UFC.</p>
<p>For Magdaleno, it&#8217;s a teenager&#8217;s dream to make it to the UFC ranks &#8212; a place he briefly experienced as a cast member on the 12th season of &#8220;The Ultimate Fighter.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I really would like to make it back to the UFC,&#8221; the former TUF contestant said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been following it for a long, long time. This has always been my dream since I was 15.&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_75454" style="width: 298px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://www.mmaweekly.com/the-chad-george-story-skateboards-spray-cans-and-guillotines"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-75454" class=" wp-image-75454  " title="Chad-George-PKG" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Chad-George-PKG.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-75454" class="wp-caption-text">Chad George (pictured) is just one of the important training partners Magdaleno has to back him at PKG Training Center. (Photo by Erik Fontanez for MMAWeekly.com)</p></div>
<p>And for the last few years, the Jiu-Jitsu black belt has been working on the path to the larger promotions with his training partners at PKG Training Center. The facility, which recently relocated from Culver City, Calif. up the road to Westwood, expanded with its recent move and provided a better training environment, according to Magdaleno.</p>
<p>Training in the new gym with the likes of UFC lightweight Mac Danzig, WEC veteran Chad Goerge and others provide Magdaleno with everything he&#8217;s needed to build his current win streak.</p>
<p>&#8220;I attribute it mostly to my training partners, first and foremost,&#8221; he said, talking about what he owes his last three wins to. &#8220;Chad helped me a lot, especially for my first knockout. I was training with him every week, pretty much striking and beating each other over the head for that fight.</p>
<p>&#8220;[My team] has helped me a lot.&#8221;</p>
<p>The team at PKG keeps Magdaleno active, much like his father did when he was a adolescent in the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance. He said growing up in a family with a Spanish background brewed a culture where the men in the family did things like get together for a Julio Cesar Chavez boxing match on Pay-Per-View.</p>
<p>Now, instead of Chavez in the ring, Magdaleno takes his turn in the combat world. He&#8217;s no longer the one siting in front of the TV &#8212; he&#8217;s a part of it now.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going against guys with winning records, not tomato cans,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Being featured in the co-main event for [BAMMA USA] is a great platform to show my skills.&#8221;</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/bamma-usas-steve-magdaleno-started-his-mma-path-at-ufc-2/">BAMMA USA’s Steve Magdaleno started his MMA path at UFC 2</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
