    Roger gets submission at Sengoku




    Roger Gracie didn’t even have to break a sweat the second MMA fight of his career. At the beginning of his combat against Yuki Kondo, this Sunday, in Tokyo, Japan, for Sengoku II, Gracie dominated his adversary and got to a rear-naked choke that granted him the win.


    Roger's 2nd MMA fight



    After doing most of his training in the UK, where he teaches, Roger went to New York where he practiced for three weeks with his cousin Renzo, before both went together to Japan on Saturday 10. Renzo even came back to the US during the week for the IFL event but got a plane in the morning after that to arrive in Japan today, a few hours before coaching his cousin for his successful victory.

    Roger does not stop though. According to statements he made prior this fight, he will try to defend his absolute World title in Jiu-Jitsu, at the Worlds, on June 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th in Long Beach, California.

    Wel Kondo have history fighting bigger opponents. Semmy Schilt, Josh Barnett for example :D In after the fight interview Roger said he is now between heavyweight and light heavy... So i would think he is somewhere around 95kg. Before the fight they said Yuki is giving up about 10kgs. So it was not your imagination... Roger was bigger
