Kron Gracie is set to face Yan Cabral in Italy in one of the superfights penned in for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Professional Cup. They’ve faced each other before, in the final of the European Open 2009 – and Kron took the cake via submission. The rematch condition of the match adds some spice to the occasion.
“It’s good… (that he will be in top shape) because I will be in shape. For me every fight is a different fight and I have to be better prepared than last time…” remarks the Gracie. Check out the interview in the video below.
The BJJ Professional Cup set to begin May 13 in Biella, Italy, will hand out a total of 60 thousand euros in prizes. Another mathup on the event program is the superfight between Bernardo Faria and Raphael Abi-Rihan. Sign-ups end May 5. To participate and obtain further information click here.
