## Bio

Neiman Gracie was born on December 12, 1988 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Being the son of a  Rolls Gracie  black belt ( Márcio Stambowsky ) and the granddaughter of Gracie jiu jitsu founder,  Carlos Gracie , it didn’t come as a surprise that Neiman took his first steps in the family’s martial art at the young age of 7.

Most of Neiman Gracie’s jiu jitsu evolution took place at the  Gracie Barra  academy in Rio, earning all belts up until his purple from the hands of his great uncle  Carlos Gracie Junior .

In 2007 his parents moved to the United States East Coast. Neiman travelled with them and picked up where his training had left off at his uncle  Renzo Gracie ‘s academy, earning his brown and black belts at the acclaimed New York grappling gym.

In 2013, Neiman set his sights on following an MMA career, signing with the World Series of Fighting organization, making his cage debut on the WSOF show of September 2013 (Arlovski vs. Kyle) – winning via armbar in the first round. After two submission wins at WSOF, Neiman Gracie signed with the prestigious Bellator MMA promotion, where he continued his prosperous mixed martial arts career.
