However, that's not a feeling Kron Gracie could repeat for the post-fight hangover, especially after one such dizzying spell turned into a fatal nightmare for the BJJ practitioner turned MMA fighter. Following in the footsteps of the legendary Gracie family, which brought the Brazilian twist to modern-day jiu-jitsu, Kron Gracie went on to have a decent stint in the UFC before suffering a career-ending skid. But what has truly turned heads was the aftermath of a fight, which almost ended it all for one of BJJ's greatest icons. Gracie claimed that it was somewhere he felt repelled towards for reasons subconscious to him. That's when he opened his eyes…...

Even as lawmakers continue to debate the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act, White's long-teased Zuffa Boxing project is no longer theoretical. It has a launch date.
