With six wins in his seven-fight MMA career, on Wednesday Jiu-Jitsu black belt Gregor Gracie was announced for the card of the next One FC event. According to the MMAmania.com website, the member of the gentle-art’s first family will do battle in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, against local fighter Adam Shahir Kayoom. A date for the show has not yet been determined.
Gregor and Adam have both beaten the same fighter, South Korea’s Seok Mo Kim. Gregor won via unanimous decision on September 3, 2011. Now Kayoom overcame Kim via rear-naked choke on the 24th of the same month.
Watch the Gracie sinking the rear-naked choke that has yielded him three of his six career victories. This submission against Thiago Mônaco netted the Rio de Janeiro native the Ultra X-Combat welterweight title.
