Previously scheduled for December 4, the light heavyweight bout matchup of Roger Gracie versus Mike Kyle will now only take place next year, on January 29.
“Now I’ll need to bring down the load in training. I was close to peaking, and now this happens,” remarks Roger (3w, 0l) in England, with his son Tristan, on his lap.
“According to them, the fight will still be against Kyle (17w, 7l, 1d) but I don’t know the reason for the postponement. What can you do? Christmas and New Year’s are done for me. Great present,” lamented the three-time IBJJF absolute world champion.
