The jiu-jitsu expert kron gracie, son of Rickson Gracie, already knows who his opponent will be in the third fight of his professional MMA career and the rival will be an old acquaintance of the most famous martial arts family in Brazil. Kron will face Japanese Hideo Tokoro at Rizin FF in September.

Tokoro has already faced and won Royler Grace, Kron's uncle, in 2006, in a unanimous decision by the judges at the K-1 Dynamite event. A year earlier, at the same event, the Japanese player drew with the legendary Royce gracie. Tokoro is 38 years old and has a professional record of 33 wins, 28 losses and two draws.

PUBLICITY:

Kron has only two fights in professional MMA, with two victories by submission. The Brazilian's last fight was in December last year, when he beat Erson Yamamoto in Rizin itself. The September edition of Rizin FF is confirmed, but there is no date or location yet.
