Royler Gracie Turns Down ADCC Rematch, Wants Eddie Bravo Inside MMA Cage

It appears that the Eddie Bravo vs. Royler Gracie rematch that the entire grappling world has been waiting for has finally been crushed.
It was only a few weeks ago that Eddie Bravo said that he would only give Royler Gracie until July 10th to accept the bout or else he would not compete. Today, Gracie spoke out and said he's not going to sit around and wait for ADCC staff to contact him, he's training to fight MMA.
Yes, you read that correctly.
He's not only going to fight mixed martial arts, he wants Eddie Bravo to scrap the grappling rematch at ADCC and meet him inside the cage.
Gracie spoke with Tatame.com and had the following to say:
"I have no problems with ADCC, but the fact is that we didn’t get to an agreement on our negotiation and unfortunately the organizers of the event haven’t got in touch with me again. I can’t keep waiting, I have other plans for myself. I’m assuming this bout won’t happen. I’m dealing with this MMA event, which might happen in Brazil. I haven’t signed anything yet, but the negotiations are going well and it’s likely it happens. The organizer of the event even called Eddie Bravo to fight me, but he declined it, he didn’t want to fight me… And I said I was only punch him with my hands opened, man."
I'm not sure if this was just a jab at Eddie Bravo or if the offer was actually extended.
Gracie hasn't fought MMA since 2006 when he lost to Hideo Tokoro at K-1 Premium via unanimous decision. Gracie holds a meager record at 5-4-1 with 4 submission wins.
The rematch was one of the highlights of this year's ADCC tournament but it appears we will have to keep waiting to see if Bravo can repeat the success he found in his first match, or if Royler redeems himself and puts a stamp on his already illustrious grappling career.
Anyone think these two will ever meet for a second time? And will it be inside the cage, or out?

Sometimes, these things happen in MMA

royler is the biggest pussy to ever set foot in an mma ring (next to gsp of course)
fucking faggot…will just butt scoot on his ass for an entire fight!
best fight ever was royler scooting around on his butt (lookin like a dude in a wheel chair) while the best fighter of all time (sakuraba) kicked the shit out of his legs like 1000 times…grabed him by the ankles and literally dragged him around the cage like the pussy that he is!!!
I don’t know about a pussy but disappointing he won’t rematch Eddie

WOW, GSP must be the toughest pussy of all time then
cause he makes the toughest GUYS in MMA look like little GIRLS lol. Bad observation dude!!!
Bad wrestlers, watch a fight dude lol!!
GSP standsup and beats the shit out of people, no one can take him down and keep him there, no one can stop his takedowns and no one can stop him from punching them in the face. If you look at the faces of the guys he beats up you can tell that it wasnt a wrestling match, just saying!!~!!
I suggest following Newfie's advice.
He brings the voice of experience.

Rolyer has been sipping on that Gracie Koolaid hardy body!
I think he is out his mind.. Once he said he wanted $50G’s.. to show up and $25G’s to win.. I knew this fight would not happen… nor do I care. I think Rolyer is burning that 10th planet kush too..
Royler really doesn't want to fight him
Get Sakuraba to make him fight Eddie.
There’s only one thing I like more than powerbottom, and that’s BloodyElbow.com
Bravo is a fluke
but royler is a bitch for asking for that kind of money. He should be a true gracie and fight for his honor! Helio would be ashamed
Tito Ortiz dropping and Subbing Ryan Bader is close to the most exciting moment in my MMA history

that too
What happend to the fight anyone anywhere if they offend my honor shit????
3 greatest MMA fights IMO
Griffin vs Bonnar
Edgar vs Maynard 2
Chan Sung Jung vs Garcia
Yep, a lot has changed since the first UFC's
Current bets:
20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.
SigBet with TheGreg on Rampage to beat Jones, his 2 weeks to my 1.
SigBets with kg12 on JDS to beat Cain and Nog to beat Schaub, 1 week each.
SigBet with Jay on Diaz not getting finished by GSP, 1 week.
That happens when you have the honor beat out of you a few times.
"Dak is going to punch you with sunshine and rainbows for saying that. ." - TheGreg
Can’t say Bravo is a fluke if its proven otherwise. He tapped Gracie, his first legit grappling loss there. So until Gracie beats him… he isn’t a fluke

Im not on the Bravo bandwagon
I dont think his style is high percentage BJJ. Marcelo and Roger have the best pure jiu-jitsu. Sweep, take mount or back, choke. That is pure jiu-jitsu and is the highest percentage way to win. Thats what i attempt to base my game off of. You will never see me doing rubber guard, only butterfly, X-guard, and some deep half guard
3 greatest MMA fights IMO
Griffin vs Bonnar
Edgar vs Maynard 2
Chan Sung Jung vs Garcia
Royler Gracie is like 6-4 in mma
Great guy, treasure in the Gracie family,
AMMA:Schedule to face Marco J. Ribeiro- August 16
SO I'M TWEETING RIGHT, AND THIS GROWN MAN ASKS ME AM I GOING TO WATCH WWE THIS SUNDAY! WTF!

Gracie’s don’t care as much for mma as they do BJJ. And Royler is a BJJ god

With the way the Gracies talk about Eddie
one would think he would be jumping at the opportunity to avenge that “fluke” loss.
forsure. eddie is the evil that made up his own fake style of BJJ, you'd think Royler would want to show him

20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.

Considering his BJJ came from learning under Machado I would say its definitely not fake.
I would have thought another Gracie would have already challenged him
by PML on Jul 14, 2011 12:12 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
it's just as fake as gracie jiu jitsu, which they learned from the Japanese (read: real as fuck)

20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.

Royler Gracie vs. Eddie Bravo is Irrelevant
The only Jiu-Jitsu match that matters is Roger Gracie vs. Rodolfo Viera.
Of course he wants an MMA fight
Bravo has said over and over again that he’s not an MMA fighter, doesn’t want to fight MMA, doesn’t plan to fight MMA, and that’s why he focused grappling. So he challenges him to an MMA fight, because of course he would.
Gotta wonder how the Gracie name still has any value left, these guys are scared rich guys hiding out trying to protect their name.
Actually Bravo was training to be an MMA fighter before he opened his school, that was his plan when he was short on cash
Current bets:
20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.
SigBet with TheGreg on Rampage to beat Jones, his 2 weeks to my 1.
SigBets with kg12 on JDS to beat Cain and Nog to beat Schaub, 1 week each.
SigBet with Jay on Diaz not getting finished by GSP, 1 week.
Then he smoked a bowl and watched a fight and thought "fuck that man - i dont wanna get smacked about... i dont wanna hit people... i just wanna blaze....."
