    Ah man, can't read the link but i assume it was natural causes?

    It's kind of odd, because for the vast majority of us Helio would always have seemed old, simple because we were only exposed to him very late in his life. He always seemed to be very vital, and driven though and at the end of the day is one of the men responsible for changing the way a large part of the world views martial arts.

    He will be missed.

    Regardless how you feel about some of his families conduct in the sport the word Legend should only be used to describe people like Helio.

    RIP

    Would Helio get a state funeral?

    I reckon the guy who comes into the ring at the end of Redbelt was portraying Helio Gracie.
