Kron Gracie 's defeat at UFC 310 , last Saturday (7), did not go unnoticed. After being knocked out by Bryce Mitchell in the third round, the featherweight (up to 65,7kg) made a statement on social media that quickly caught the attention of fans, experts and other fighters. In a brief post, Rickson Gracie's son expressed his feelings with enigmatic words.
“They hate us because they are not us,” the fighter wrote on his official Instagram page.

The statement sparked a series of speculations, but Kron did not reveal who he was referring to with the term 'they'. The statement, however, seemed to reflect the fighter's frustration with the constant criticism he has received, especially after yet another performance below expectations within the UFC.
His performance against Bryce Mitchell , marked by ineffective striking and an insistence on taking the fight to the ground, was not well received by the MMA community, which was already questioning his adaptation to the modern fighting style, where striking has become increasingly essential.
Kron has not hidden his dissatisfaction with the treatment he has received from some of the public. At 37 years old and with only one victory in the UFC, the fighter seems to be living a moment of uncertainty. His contract with Dana White's promotion is coming to an end, and his status on the roster is a mystery.
