Renzo Gracie took about five minutes to get going in his return bout against Yuki Kondo at One Championship: Reign of Kings in Manila, Phillipines on Friday.
Both Gracie and Kondo were given yellow cards in the first round for inactivity, with the crowd verbalizing their discontent with the action from the rafters.
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend found a new gear in the second round, however. He took Kondo down, quickly transitioned to the back and finished the bout with a rear-naked choke.
Competing in his first MMA bout in eight years since his loss to Matt Hughes at UFC 112, 51-year-old Gracie moved to 13-7-1 with the victory.
