Bob Sapp to Face Rolles Gracie at One FC 2
Big news for the little engine that could that is slowly picking up steam! A Gracie will be fighting at the next One FC event. And although he doesn't have the prominence of a Renzo or a Royce, Rolles Gracie has gotten back on track since his KO loss against Joey Beltran at UFC 109 with two straight arm-triangle victories. Gracie will surely be looking for another submission victory against...Bob Sapp? MMA Fighting has the scoop on the event:
One-time UFC competitor Rolles Gracie will aim to extend his win streak to three when he faces former Japanese MMA superstar Bob Sapp at One FC on Feb. 11 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
More than ever, Sapp (11-9) in recent years has been fighting strictly for the paycheck. He lost all of his fights in 2011 (three in MMA and three in kickboxing) and has dropped seven of his last nine MMA fights. Outside of his epic fight against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in 2002, all of Sapp's MMA fights have ended in the first round.
Igor Gracie, Ole Laursen, Kevin Belingon, Yodsanan Sityodtong, Yuya Shirai and Youne Victorio Senduk are also slated to compete on the Feb. 11 card.
To be completely honest, this is pretty sad. You have guys like Pedro Rizzo and Ken Shamrock available to fight at heavyweight who could at least make the matchup look presentable or even put up a fight. But Bob Sapp is afraid to do anything in a kickboxing or MMA match and it has been that way for half a decade or so. So if you are looking forward to a Gracie victory, be sure to check out ONE FC on February 11th.
