Rogan talked about how he spoke with the Brazilian MMA Legend, Renzo Gracie, post this incident. Apparently, Gracie claimed to have, “F***** his (the assailant) knees up.”
Renzo Gracie was speaking with a fellow staff member, when he was confronted for speaking in Portuguese. This comment offended Gracie and remarked that it was racist.
Gradually a fight broke out, but the martial artist knew exactly what to do to contain the fight. After all, he spent most of his life mastering Jiu-Jitsu.

Attell chimed in favor of what Gracie did. “He did the right thing, though, right?”
Rogan gave an insight into how the martial artist dealt with the situation in a composed manner. “He didn’t even hurt him. Just threw him to the ground… And controlled him and put him in a stranglehold and let him go. And told him to apologize.”
