The UFC is clearly the largest stage in the world of mixed martial arts. As men and women rise to prominence within the Octagon, other fighters build their craft on “smaller” circuits. On such individual is Kron Gracie, who has continued to grow in his transition from grappling to MMA. His recent performance against UFC and Strikeforce veteran Tatsuya Kawajiri should open eyes beyond those just interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and show that he has the potential to be a threat in the sport.
Just two years into his professional career, Gracie has done a stellar job flying under radar for the most part.
