Royler Gracie vs. Masakatsu Ueda in September

[EmpireWF]

Will be a lightweight fight.

Gracie hasn't fought in 5 years and he bitched out because a grappling match with Eddie Bravo was set (I think) but he wanted more money. Bravo upset him in a ADCC match years ago.

Shogun, is this expected to be a one-sided fight in favor of Ueda?

Ueda is a natural bantamweight (typical Gracie shenanigans), so size may be a factor, but I and others expect him to completely wipe the floor with Royler. EASILY. I really wish he would have just took the grappling match with Bravo instead. That would have been much more intriguing and way more competitive.

Semi-OT: I'm a bit interested in the Ishii/Filho matchup on the same card. It's got a bit of that freakshow/novelty vibe.

Sounds like Ueda took it easy on Royler and worked him.

Should have took the ADCC match with Bravo instead.

Filho and Ishii fought to a draw on that card too.
