According to Patch.com 5th degree BJJ black-belt Ralph Gracie, son of Robson Gracie and brother to Renzo Gracie, was indicted by an Orange County grand jury in California last week over an alleged assault involving five-time BJJ world champion Flavio Almeida.
That outlet reported that the 39-year-old Gracie was indicted on one count of felony assault with an enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury. Prosecutor’s in Orange County say the charges stem from an attack that occurred on December 15th, 2018 at the World IBJJF No-Gi Championships in Anaheim, CA.
In an arraignment on September 27th, after the indictment, Gracie pleaded not guilty to the charge (per MMA Fighting).
