Roger Gracie is already in Japan. And there he will be having his last training sessions before facing Japanese star Yuki Kondo in one of the main events at Sengoku II, this Sunday, the 18th. Before traveling to the Land of the Rising Sun, the current world absolute Jiu-Jitsu champion spent time training at Renzo Gracie’s academy, in New York.
This will be the black belt’s second appearance in MMA. In his debut, in December of 2006, Roger submitted Ron Waterman at Bodog Fight.
Check out the Sengoku II card and some shots of Roger training in Japan.
