Chatri began studying BJJ under Renzo Gracie back in 2005 when he was working in the financial industry in New York. He would probably have earned his brown belt a bit quicker if he hadn’t spent ten years training without a gi.

He has also competed in professional Muay Thai and looks like a badass on the pads. We think Chatri might just be MMA’s toughest promoter.
