Ralek Gracie has signed a multi-fight contract to compete for Bellator MMA.
Sherdog.com confirmed the deal with a promotion official following an initial report from ESPN's Brett Okamoto on Tuesday. Ralek Gracie, who is the son of Rorion Gracie and nephew of Royce Gracie, is targeting Jan. 21, 2017 for his promotional debut, although an opponent has yet to be determined.
That event, likely Bellator 170, takes place at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., and is headlined by a light heavyweight showdown between Tito Ortiz and Chael Sonnen.
