Gracie Signs with Black House, Decides on Move to Middleweight - MMA Combat
Friday, March 16, 2012, Strikeforce talent Roger Gracie has reportedly signed on with Black House MMA and according to manager Ed Soares, has decided on a move down to middleweight following his most recent outing when he was defeated for the first time in his professional MMA career by former 205lb champion Muhammed "King" Lawal at Strikeforce - Barnett vs. Kharitonov.
At 4-1, the 6'4" grappling ace boasts some of the very best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the sport today with all four of his victories on record coming by way of submission.
The former ADCC and IBJJF World Champion, who makes his home in London, England, will add some much needed depth to the 185lb class which has for some time been sparse of top-contenders. Moreover, the move - should the weight cut prove successful - teases with the possibility of carrying over a fierce grappling rivalry into the Strikeforce cage as former division champ Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza makes his home among the middleweight elite.
