Thread: Will Kyra Gracie ever make the transition to MMA?

  1. #1

    Default Will Kyra Gracie ever make the transition to MMA?

    Carano vs Gracie is a fight I would enjoy watching.

    Yeah that fight would be very interesting. Kyra is the number 1 female grappler isn't she, even better than Megumi Fujii, and she's pretty damn good.

    If Kyra does transition, she'll have problems in the stand-up. Obviously what do I know, I know nothing about her and her training. But Carano would be VERY comfortable just striking and utilizing good solid takedown defense I'm sure.

    I think she's only about 24/25 so there's plenty of time for her to transition.

    Doubtful. And if she did, she'd be a weight class or two below carano. It would make more sense to be talking about fights like Gracie / Modafferi or Gracie / Baszler.

    She has said many times that she doesn't see herself ever going into MMA.

    Which is a shame. Cause I would love to see it. And the fact that she is a serious hottie only makes me more interested.

    I can see why she wouldn't be interested in MMA when she already has a sport she is successful in.

    I find the hottie thing hard to understand. I never get interested in a fight because a fighter is attractive. I'm more interested in their sporting abilities. Is that wierd?

    Not weird, just more evolved.
