Roger Gracie Returns to Jiu-Jitsu with July Superfight

Roger Gracie Returns to Jiu-Jitsu with July Superfight

 

 

It looks like Roger Gracie’s announced return to competition will happen sooner then expected. The 10 x world champion, ADCC champion and professional Mixed Martial Artist Roger Gracie has just announced that he plans to compete in a BJJ superfight in July.

During this interview last week with Fightinglifestyle UAE, Roger Gracie talked about his academy in London and how he balances his life between coaching training and competing. Furthermore Roger Gracie also talked about training with the Estima brothers and how he plans an imminent return to Gi competition.

 

Now its been 5 years since I last competed in the GI, Its exactly 5 years ago when I fought in the World’s in 2010 and lately I’ve been training a lot more with the GI so I am feeling very happy and excited again to compete, I train a lot with Braulio Estima and his brother Victor. I know they are competing a lot so im trying to sharpen up their game as well and I think thats what is motivating me to come back to training.”

 

He made the announcement on his Facebook page:

 

Ok pessoal, em julho está quase confirmado meu retorno aos tatames. Vai ser uma luta casada. Muito em breve confirmarei a data e oponente.
Ok guys it’s almost confirmed my return to the JJ mats. It should happen in July in a super fight. I’ll keep you posted on the date and opponent.
