Rafael Dias at Gracie Fighting

Got an email from Keith Mills, one of MMA’s best sports photographers. He’s taken photos at a number of our events. I also once stayed up all night with him in a 6-star Costa Rica hotel room (don’t ask).

Anyway, turns out he was recently chillin’ ringside at the Gracie Fighting Championship. Rafael Dias (a two-time Bodog Fight veteran) was in competition there against Phil Cardella. Keith sent me some pics from the fight. Rafael is in the black & red trunks.

Unfortunately, Rafael lost the decision to Phil despite winning the 1st round.
