Default 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.
