Buchecha on Roger Gracie match: “I got it wrong and I paid the price”

Buchecha on Roger Gracie match: “I got it wrong and I paid the price”

 

A jiu-jitsu match for the ages happened over the weekend and it was quite a revelation in eyes of many jiu-jiteiros. One person that was affected the most arguably is Marcus Almeida Buchecha, who was manhandled rather quickly as his crushed expression showcased.

 

Now Buchecha is ready to talk. Here’s what he’s learned from the loss:

“Roger did not allow me to get to my game. I had no injuries to blame. Roger made good grips when he pulled guard. I made a mistake against a guy you can’t make mistakes with”
