We're very excited to have scored an exclusive interview with Rolles Gracie, recent signee of the UFC.  Rolles is scheduled to fight Mostapha Al-turk on February 6, 2010, at UFC 109.

For those of you unfamiliar with him, Rolles is the son of Rolles Gracie, Sr., a legendary Brazilian Jiu-Jjtsu black belt, who most consider among the most technical practitioners, ever.  As you would expect, Rolles and his two brothers, Igor and Gregor, are world class jiu-jitsu players in their own right.  Rolles has competed and won at the highest levels, both in the US and internationally.

Currently, Rolles has a mixed martial arts record of 3-0, with all three wins coming in the 1st round.  At 6'4" and 240 lbs. Rolles has a combination of strength, size, speed and world-class, technical Jiu-jitsu, that should make him an immediate and serious threat to anyone, and I mean ANYONE, in the UFC's heavyweight division.

Please enjoy our interview.  You can watch Parts 1 and 2 after the break as well as Rolles' last fight here in the US against Sam Holloway in the IFL.

UFS Shawn says: 2009-Oct-28 15:40     He was an extremely nice guy and total gentleman. You have to remember that he's the Head Instructor at Renzo's academy. He's used to dealing with all types of people at all different levels. He relates to them personally in order to be a better teacher and I'd imagine that he deals with all relationships in this manner. Very personable.  Reply     0     0     Report

AutomaticStay362 says: 2009-Oct-28 12:02     That was a great interview. You have a good voice and great delivery for broadcasting. Rolles seems like a really chill guy, i hope he comes up to Easton to train a little before his fight. It would be even better if he came by to teach a class or two. Rolles v. Al-Turk, UFC 109, my prediction . . . PAIN. Rolles wins in the first round via Peruvian neck tie.  Reply     0     0     Report
