The term “world-class” is thrown around a lot in MMA, but when it comes to describing Robert Drysdale‘s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pedigree, that’s the best way to describe him.

Drysdale (0-0, 1-0 amateur), a multiple-time world champion who placed first in the 2007 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championship’s open division, is set to make his MMA debut Saturday night at Armageddon Fighting Championship 3 in Victoria, British Columbia, against Bas Huveneers (8-2-1).

MMA Fighting spoke to Drysdale about his MMA debut, the health issues which prevented him from making his debut earlier and why he would like to fight fellow BJJ wizard, Roger Gracie, in an MMA fight sooner rather than later.

The full interview is below.
