Kron Gracie and the Worlds

Now that he has his black belt, I just have a few questions to ask for all those that practice and follow BJJ.

1) When he goes to the Worlds, who do you think will be his biggest challenge? Do we even
know his weight class and who he "might" have to go up against or is it still to early?
2) If he does do absolute, and he makes it pretty far, how would the fight between him and
Roger go?
3) Do you think his submission streak will end?
4) Do you think there is someone there that can submit him?
5) Is there any weaknes to this kid because I just don't see it, maybe some of the bjj black
belts that frequent this part of the forum can point some things out.


The reason I ask is I love his approach, it makes us older guys really appreciate the basics and how well they work. I just want to see what those that compete and visit the forums have to say about this kid. In all fairness, I would love to see BJ PENN and him match up, at the Mundials, just to see the technique go through the roof.


Thanks

Galvao's got to be the biggest challenge for him. My prediction is he gets some hard fought subs early on but Galvao handles him if they match up.

I think he can Give Galvao some hard trouble. Kron has crazy Basics, but Galvao is a Seasoned Black Belt. good shit though.
War KRON War Andre !

i think that Kron is going to have an uphill battle because every frigin black belt is going to want a piece of him. Just to be the one to say that they got him first.

yea, they're gonna be gunning for him bad. Rickson obviously knows this and wouldn't have given him his black if he weren't confident in his abilities.

Kron vs Roger would be epic.

Kron seems so much smaller then Roger or Galvao. Kron is under major pressure but hell his dad is a legend and he has a solid game. I'm sure he will spend more mat time with dad before Worlds .
