Unlike the first confrontation that took place at Metamoris, this one will be 15 minutes long under IBJJF rules leaving very little room for a draw:

“The idea is to unite entertainment with high-level fights.”

Kyra added:

” This fight between Roger Gracie and Marcus Buchecha will mark the story in Jiu-Jitsu. It is something highly anticipated. Their last fight was 5 years ago, I want to bring them in contact with our audience. Roger has not fought for ten years here in Brazil and the Buchecha never fought as a black belt. People will remember this fight like the great classics of Jiu-Jitsu that happened here in Rio de Janeiro. It will be marked. The event comes in to support this high level fight. We will have 20 male and female black and white finals, “
