Garry Tonon wanted Kron Gracie grappling rematch, hopes for future MMA clash

Garry Tonon is well on his way to establishing himself as a legit MMA prospect, but that doesn’t mean he’s completely moved on from the sport that made him famous.

The way he sees it, he has unfinished business in the grappling world, namely with fellow Brazilian jiu-jitsu star-turned-MMA fighter Kron Gracie. A member of one of the world’s most famous fighting families, Gracie submitted Tonon in an ADCC grappling match back in October 2013 and Tonon has long been interested in running that one back.

These days, Tonon is making his way through the ONE Championship ranks while Gracie recently made a successful UFC debut with a first-round submission of veteran Alex Caceres.
