After being confirmed in the IBJJF Heavyweight GP, slated for Aug. in Vegas, Roger is now also confirmed for the Gracie Pro, an event scheduled to take place July 22 and 23 in Rio de Janeiro. His fight will be a rematch against Marcus Buchecha, which was previously expected to happen at the GP.
Last time they fought, the two absolute world BJJ champions did the main event at a Metamoris show, which ended up being a tie. Roger last fought in the gi in 2015, beating Rodrigo Comprido, whereas Buchecha is coming off a recent no-gi win over Rafael Lovato at the ADCC Trials.
