Four-time BJJ World Champion and two-time ADCC gold-medalist, Kyra Gracie will compete at ADCC’s 2011 in England in September, but is also planning to enter MMA, as reported by multiple Brazilian sources.
Once her submission grappling endeavor is out of the way, Robson Gracie’s grandaughter will likely venture into the territory where, as the master would put it, daughters cry and their mothers aren’t there to see – MMA.
In the audience at yesterday’s Clube da Luta event, where her grandfather made a speech, Kyra confirmed that she’s been considering offers from a few MMA promotions.
It’s true, I’m negotiating to do a fight at a big event in Singapore, where I’m heading to train some at Evolve. I’m dying to make my MMA debut, remarked Kyra, who has also heard offers linked to Strikeforce.
I’ve been training Boxing and Judo. It’s something that can happen too. I already received some proposals and I know MMA is becoming bigger.
“They (Strikeforce) contacted me, invited me. I also received a proposal from Japan, Gracie told IG. We’re negotiating, setting some things with them (Strikeforce). Let’s say that, if I already had a contract, I’d be ready to fight today.”
Kyra Gracie would probably fight at Strikeforce’s welterweight division, ruled by Marloes Coenen.
