It's worth the effort for a japanese promoter to fork over hundreds of thousands of dollars for a Gracie, ANY Gracie, but in the US nobody's going to tune in just for that last name. The US audience needs more.
IŽd LOVE to see more Gracies in the UFC but they don't seem to be all that interested.

i agree, the next generation of gracie upincomers are still young and only have a few fights,more experience is needed but they can still hang with otehr new guys in the ufc IMO
