“I was looking forward to it too. I thought it would be a great way to finish off my career and I’ve always been into it and down for it. He called it a fluke and said I got lucky. This is a good opportunity for him to prove I was lucky the first time and it’s a good opportunity for me to prove I wasn’t lucky.
I want to do it, I’ve always been down to do it, I would never turn down the match unless he waits too long. If this is him posturing and trying to wait, if he waits too long we will just postpone it because that’s not going to happen. That ploy aint gonna work.
Basically I’m giving him until July 10th. If he hasn’t agreed to it by July 10th than I’m not doing it at all unless it’s the following Abu Dhabi. If he waits too long, I see what he’s trying to do, he’s trying to posture so I’m not going to accept after July 10th. He’s had plenty of time, plenty of opportunity to accept.
He’s had since May 10th to finalize and agree to it so after July 10th it’s off… After that, you heard it here, I’m not gonna accept I’m just gonna focus on my album.“
Jiu-Jitsu legend, Eddie Bravo tells us here in this BJPENN.COM Exclusive that the proposed rematch between him and Royler Gracie at this year’s Abu Dhabi is in jeopardy of falling through if his opponent doesn’t commit to the match by July 10.
Bravo made his name and shocked the Jiu-Jitsu world when he beat Royler in 2003. It’s the rematch the Jiu-Jitsu world has wanted to see ever since.
