Roger Gracie goes back to 205!

“I’m doing some serious strength and conditioning work. I want to increase my power and explosiveness. I’m sure that it’ll help me a lot with MMA. I want to be very well prepared physically once I move up one weight division [from 185 pounds to 205 pounds]. I need to be ready for it!”

“I haven’t signed with any organization yet and therefore still don’t know when I’m fighting next, but I believe it’s gonna be in the beginning of next year.”

Who do you see signing roger?

I think wsof has a great relationsh with the Gracie's that's why I think they have the inside track, plus roger is not a cheap fighter, with sf he had a 60/60 contract! That main event money for every company!

should just bulk up more and go back to heavyweight

he should stay away from MMA and just keep doing BJJ tournaments

I don´t like weight cutting at all so it´s great to hear that he´s going up to LHW again. I think WSOF will sign him but he needs to take a pay cut.

Roger needs to realize fighting is about wit and skill not athleticism. He's a good enough athlete, but he's a better tactician. He just needs more experience and some more tools!

^ I don't know, SRC. Most of these Gracie boys aren't cut out for MMA. I can't see Roger adding anything to his arsenal that will take him to the next level. But hey, prove me wrong, Roger. Work on your MMA!

It's about time.  Been hoping he would make this move.  I moved him to 205 in the rankings for next month.  He's a Gracie so I'm sure WSOF and ONE FC will be trying to pick him up.
