Gracie Question
 
I was just looking at some Gracie Family trees to see how exactly the fighters were related. The thing is I don't see Daniel (fought Wes Sims at Gracie vs Hammerhouse, IFL) anywhere. I was just wondering if anyone knows how he is related to the rest of the family?

I heard he married into the family but took the Gracie name for fights.

That could be it.

Vitor Belfort was nearly Vitor Gracie if it wasn't for a few younger Gracie protests.

I've tried checking out the Gracie family tree earlier, but got too damn confused.

Actually, his mom is a gracie but he had his fathers last name(i don't remember what it was). He changed it when he started competing. been training his whole life like the rest of the gracies.
