Curious to see Roger Gracie and Lyoto Machida tangling at Black House academy in Los Angeles? We were too.
“Lyoto’s a sensational guy. We’re helping each other a lot, I think, and not just in the ring. We’re just starting to become good friends, as we haven’t known each other very long,” said the Gracie. “Our styles complement each other. If I can pick up a bit of his standup game of darting in and out, I’ll be a complete fighter.”
Roger takes on Keith Jardine at this Saturday’s Strikeforce event.
Check out the Mike Lee-produced video, where you even get to see Kevin Casey launch a sweet ground attack on Roger, and an interesting spar between André Galvão and the Gracie. Let us know what you think in the comments field below.
