Chapter 1: The Gracie Clan, or The Craziest, Lyingest Family in Fighting
Chapters 2 and 3 of the book detail all the various ways that Rickson knew he was going to become The Greatest Gracie from as young as seven years old.
Wise Rickson smoothly transitions from saying that as soon as he started school he knew the other kids were piss babies to further information about how Gracies Fuck Every Woman In Town:
Next, Rickson is so ashamed after losing to Rolls that he… asks to be rolled up in a carpet?
Young Rickson also becomes a snitch against his brother Relson, and this action makes him realize that HE is the one that will be The Greatest Gracie, out of all 200 of them.
Even though The Greatest Gracie did snitching against drugs as a kid, The Greatest Gracie as a teen also decided that he could use drugs, just to check them out. That’s okay, but anti-depressants? NO SIR.
Rickson describes Rio, which is apparently the worst most hellish place on Earth:
Rickson’s mom hates poor people, and this causes Rickson to realize who he hates is rick kids:
Finally, chapter 2 ends with Rickson casually tossing off a tale of visiting a Luta Livre school (a poorer person’s martial art compared to GJJ) at age 16 and BEATING UP EVERYONE IN THE PLACE IN A ROW:
Chapter 3 is the third chapter in a row where Rickson provides his commentary on The Amount of Fucking Gracies Do, and how he’s different:
It does feature the honorable tale of Rickson whooping the ass of a pro surfer who broke his friend’s board and was generally an ass hole. Everyone in Rio knew the Gracies drove Volkswagens.
