Nice find. I don’t have time to watch all of it now, but I watched the first 5 minutes.
The first 5 minutes are Joe Moreira explaining why he gave Marco Ruas a jiu-jitsu black belt and Carlson saying that it wasn’t appropriate to give a guy black belt to a guy who never trained with a gi just because he is a tough guy and your buddy.
I’ll try to transcribe the dialogue later if I have time.

Well, i would translate that if i had time, i’m currently very busy, i’m sorry.
I didn’t even had time to watch the rest of the videos, just saw the first one, and it’s pretty impressive.
It starts with Marco Ruas explaining his recently awarded BJJ Black Belt under Joe Moreira after he helped Joe (a legit BJJ BB) train to fight in the UFC. This promotion to BB was very controversial at the time, as people may know Marco Ruas comes from Luta-Livre, BJJ/Gracie old school rivals. Marco Ruas basically says that he doesn’t care about the Black Belt and doesn’t want to be called a Black Belt. Carlson Gracie is obviously pretty vocal against Ruas’ Black Belt and there is a tense but respectful exchange between the two. Carlson says that he doesn’t wear a BB anymore because it means nothing, everybody has one, he uses a Dark Blue Belt instead.
Then they start to talk about Allan Goes’ “most recent” fight against the “newcomer” Dan Henderson. Allan lost 3 point due to a “attempted kick to the head of a downed opponent”. Carlson says the kick didn’t even hit, and that the judge should have not separated the two since Allan had a RNC on Henderson. Joe Moreira also agrees that Allan should have won the fight…
The interviewer (Jorge “Joinha” Guimarães, Anderson Silva’s current manager) asks Carlson about his split with Vitor Belfort. Carlson says Vitor is a Traitor, that he took Vitor under his wing like a father and Vitor betrayed him and warns Vitor friends what he would do to them since he did that to his “father”, se says Vitor must be crazy…
When asked about promotions, Carlson says Frederico Lapenda (Ruas former manager, BTT founder, WVC owner…) robbed him, robbed his students, didn’t pay fight purses. Ruas agrees with him and says he is suing Lapenda.
That’s my quick work of the first video. I hope somebody else have the time to do a proper job, i’m sorry i don’t have that time right now.
