PRIDE FC Bushido: The Gracie Family vs. Japan

 

 

 

DSE/PRIDE has announced that five Gracie Family members will take on some of Japan's elite fighters in their inaugural "Bushido" show to take place October 5, 2003 from the Saitama Super Arena in Japan

 

The five Gracie Family members to participate in the event will be:

 

- Daniel Gracie - 2-0 in MMA, PRIDE veteran

- Ralph Gracie - Battlecade I, II, III Champion

- Renzo Gracie - 10-4-1 in MMA, PRIDE veteran, WCC Champion

- Rodrigo Gracie - 3-0 in MMA, PRIDE veteran

- Ryan Gracie - 2-2 in MMA, PRIDE veteran

 

And if you've seen our interview with Royce Gracie, then you know that he is in negotiations with both 

PRIDE and the UFC to fight but PRIDE will get him first...sort of, he'll be the coach of the Gracie Team.

 

The Gracie's opponents have not been finalized. 

 

The October 5th card will also include an additional two or three fights and will be shown on Pay-Per-View

(PPV availability will be announced soon).
