RENZO GRACIE |
Renzo Gracie and his cousin Igor part of the famed Gracie clan were busted by cops with five other men for attacking the doorman outside 1Oak early Monday.
Doorman and host Craig Molesphini claims the Gracies and five other men launched a “premeditated attack” after he turned two of their clan away.
He added of the brawl, “All of the seven men were fighting, doing MMA moves on the guards, some of whom were injured. When the police arrived, they tried to get away, but the cops parked in front of their van, which was waiting with a driver.”
He said the attack was “retribution for me not allowing two of their masters into the venue last week. This was a carefully planned and coordinated attack. The police arrested all seven of them.”
The Gracie cousins whose Brazilian family started the sports-promoting business Ultimate Fighting Championship were charged with gang assault, as were the other suspects.
The pair were released on $10,000 bail. Molesphini’s lawyer Salvatore Strazzullo said they were cooperating with the district attorney and could also file a civil assault claim.
He said, “This is a total premeditated gang assault and the individuals who conspired to do this are going to be brought to justice.”
