The one time ADCC World Champion and BJJ specialist woke up at six this morning with a weird feeling. On a hunch, he checked a very old email he no longer uses very often and... there was an offer for him to fight in Pancrase's Feb 15th show!
'"I had a feeling there was good news on the horizon. Look, I started to train
muay thai last week with nothing specific in mind" remarked 'Soca', who accepted the match against Pancrase's under 64kg star Yoshiro Maedo without much thought.
Maedo is 22 years old talent who is undefeated with seven victories in seven fights. He recently knocked out Hawaian sensation Baret Yoshida. Despite the dangers his opponent presents, Soca is anxious to face him: "I didn't know anything about the guy, but I am not about to worry, I want to debut" said the athlete, who will be the first member of the new Gracie Barra Combat Team to fight in Japan.
There is only one problem with that news. Soca is known for his problems sleeping before a tournament, staying up for two or three days before competition day without closing his eyes. Now, with a MMA match it has the potential to get worse. "Perhaps I will be awake for a whole week in a row this time" shrugged the Brazilian, knowing there's nothing he can do about it.
