Strikeforce Light-heavyweight Roger Gracie Latest To Join UFC

[No More Sorrow]

The UFC's light heavyweight roster is getting a formidable ground threat, as GracieMag reported Friday night that 30-year-old Roger Gracie has signed with the organization.

The three-fight Strikeforce veteran lost his last fight in that organization to Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal last September, his first and only MMA loss, but he is one of the most decorated and dangerous submission fighters in the sport.

There's no word on when Gracie will make his UFC debut or against whom, but there are plenty of matchups that would make sense for him in the near future.

Well that's good and all... IF he can get the fight on the ground. If he can't... well... King Mo knocked him out... surely others will.

He's one dimensional.. if he can get the fight to the ground he's in good shape.. but yeah, King Mo freaking knocked him out. You can tell his chin is sub-par.

Not really a veteran at the age of 30 with 3 fights.

He's a grappling vet though. But yeah they need to change that wording.

But mannnn if the fight goes to the ground it's pretty much all over for whoever he has down there. Other than that... he's going down.
