I think Mo will control the fight and get the UD, I think he will get some takedowns but get right back up and try to keep the fight on the feet as much as possible

I think the great wrestler beats the great bjj player, but Roger Gracie is such a different animal on the ground

@joca i agree, he looks pretty good standing up, he almost uses it as a way to pressure the person to the ground!

Well, you can never count LNP out but i think Roger is surely the better grappler and can hold his own while standing up. Looking forward to seeing an improved and more MMA-focused Gracie and want to see the result of his training with GSP.

I think this Gracie could finally be the modern Gracie everybody has been waiting for, and this fight will prove that. I don't think Lawal can get away with LnP this time! ;)

Lawal would not be smart to go to the ground with Roger. He's a wrestler so that's not a good sign for him. Classic wrestler vs juijitsu.

In my opinion Roger can submit anyone in the Light Heavyweight.

gracie catches lawal in the 2nd round. lawal will get some good shots in, but it will be a matter of time until gracie catches him.

Roger is big for a Gracie, we'll see if he can take a few shots and get Lawal down some how and submit him.
