Do you, as a member of the Martial Arts community feel that we should post information regarding Rockson Gracie's death?

yes...

Not sure how to answer that. What will we gain by reading his story?

I guess.
So long as it is a little more respectful than the garbage I just read on sherdog.

That's a long time for Phrost to have been sitting on that information. I think he needs to post it.

There's a joke in there somewhere about Rockson and the Flintsones

**JBliss** · Posted On: 1/01/2011 10:31pm

is there a point? Leave it alone.

I only have a vague memory of this, since it was almost 8 years ago (if you'll notice the date of the post).

Here's what I remember: a member came to me with some information about Rockson's death, which I believe contradicted the official story. I'm not sure what this person's source was, and don't remember much else about the story.

I do remember making this thread in order to gauge the community's feelings on whether or not this was newsworthy, or something that should be left alone if it had no newsworthy purpose for being released. Tabloid gossip is not newsworthy, and if the information doesn't improve some aspect of the Martial Arts community by our sharing it, then we're not really interested in it.

I haven't heard much besides rumors myself, but i have seen enough threads about threads being deleted/censored on mainstream sites like sherdog and UG.
