Neiman Gracie is slowly working his way up in MMA, adding victories to his undefeated resume. The son of Marcio Stambowsky recently made headlines for his assertions that bjj rules make for boring uninspired matches.
Now he’s backed up his passion for MMA with another victory.
Gracie was quoted saying to mmajunkie:
“I’ve been training striking and the other martial arts for a while now,” Gracie said. “I think that with time I’m going to be able to show more of my ability. I think in these next fights I will be able to show a little bit of what I have in the other areas.“I will always try to apply my Gracie jiu-jitsu,” he continued. “That’s what I always want to do. If I have no option and cannot do my game plan, I will try to fight on the feet or do whatever else I need.”

“I’m happy with Bellator and happy with my career and the way it’s going,” Gracie said. “After this fight, depending on how I do, I think I will be ready for the bigger names for sure.
“There’s always room for improvement with everything, but I see myself at the top level for sure,” he continued. “I just need to get more cage time and improve my record. But I’m ready to fight the top guys.”
