On July 22 and 23, at the Carioca Arena 1, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro an epic rematch will be taking place Roger Gracie a 10x Worlds Winner will be combating the other 10x Worlds winner Marcus Almeida Buchecha.
The interest for the rematch was first apparent 4 months ago when Kyra approached them with the idea. She told tatame:
“I said that I wanted to do this fight here in Brazil, they agreed on the spot. They are very motivated for this fight. “
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, “
