More stupid human tricks

By Zach Arnold | December 14, 2007

You can always count on Ryan Gracie to bring the entertainment:

According to O Globo, a newspaper based in Sao Paulo that is one of Brazil’s largest, Ryan Gracie has been arrested for stealing a car.

The article alleges that Ryan Gracie stole a Toyota Corolla but soon after crashed it into a parking barrier. Gracie, who was armed with a kitchen knife, fled and attempted to hijack a moped from one of the city’s many couriers.

Today’s runner-up: Tristan Yunker, who recently did an interview with Jarry Park, failed to make weight for his fight tomorrow against Pete Spratt at the HDNet Fights event in Dallas.

   Wow. That is a pretty hilarious story about Ryan Gracie. Man, he is seriously the black sheep of the Gracie family. But, then again, he doesn’t claim some bogus 400-0 record…

   According to Globo TV and Graciemag, Ryan Gracie was found dead in his prison cell this morning…
