So now Team Gracie aren't the "numerous thugs" you were referring too just becuase the UFC regularly lets those same guys in the octagon after Nate's fights?
The UFC does not allow thugs or thug-like behavior into the octagon. Plain and simple.
Team Gracie has always, for the most part, acted professional when in the ring post-fight at UFC events.
Some of them did choose to act like thugs at the Strikeforce event.
Maybe their behavior had something to do with the unprofessional, amateur feel of the event. Who really knows?
You get a few frustrated, UFC rejects at an amateur style event on national TV...anything can happen.
