Yep. It’s been over a year since our Bauzen braved the sea with Renzo Gracie as he took pictures of Ricardo Almeida paddling for autism. Since then we have seen Ricardo win a decision, lose a decision, then retire from MMA. Now, Ricardo is back to make the 28 mile trek around New York one more time to raise cash for autism awareness. Here is a video of Ricardo preparing for his journey.
Ricardo and his brother Flavio officially completed the course in 6 hours.
