Will Marcelo Garcis vs. Royce Gracie in K-1 happen?
I think there's big money to be made in a Marcelo Garcia vs. the Gracie family. First Garcia vs. Royce and then you can move on down the line with Renzo and the others.
For the Gracie/Garcia match to be interesting, it would need to be no time limit, no judges, no referee but do 15 minute rounds just like Royce/Saku I.
there's not much out there for Royce that makes sense. An MMA fight with Garcia does make sense.

people will you fucking stop it, ROYCE GRACIE is NOT a GREAT BJJ player, he is GOOD, but not great, not in MMA and not in sport BJJ, just because his last name is Gracie doesnt mean he is a virtuoso, id go as far as to say that Nick Diaz is better on the ground.

Agreed, up until the Diaz part.
Garcia tooled Renzo for 10 minutes at ADCC, and to be perfectly hon...Factual, Renzo is much, much, MUCH better than Royce.

I Dont Care Who He Fights.. I Just Want to See Marcelo try some MMA... Maybe can build himself to a top Level like A Ricard Arona or Flop a bit Like Dean Lister...

I don't think this fight will happenn, but if that was the case Marcelo Garcia has to take the fight to the ground and Royce has to work on his take down defence.

I personally dont think this will happen. Do you guys think M G has the killer instinct for MMA....i love Marcelo but I dont think he is MMA material..
One of the best BJJ players ever but is it 2 late for him to make a push in mma? Just a few thoughts

i think they have different plans for him more mainly fighting at lw to try to build him up see if he has a future in mma.
some ppl say he is to big for that weight class and some say he can make it easy
