Jiujitsu whiz Kron Gracie will be returning to MMA competition at a Rizin FF event in September. The news was announced by the promotion on Saturday, and details on the match up were later disclosed to MMA Fighting.
The jiujitsu blackbelt is set to make his return against Japanese MMA veteran Hideo Tokoro. This fight will be contested in the featherweight division and it will serve as a super fight – separate from the open weight tournament that will begin on the September card as well.
Gracie last fought at Rizin FF 2 in December in Tokyo, Japan where he submitted Asen Yamamoto with a triangle choke in the first round.
