Strikeforce winner Roger Gracie vows more MMA fights, looks for quick return

ST. LOUIS – Following his professional mixed-martial-arts debut in 2006, Roger Gracie hasn’t exactly kept a frantic fight schedule.

In more than three years, he’s fought just three times, and a full two years lapsed between his two most recent fights.

However, following an impressive victory over former UFC heavyweight champion Kevin Randleman at Saturday’s “Strikeforce St. Louis: Heavy Artillery” event in St. Louis, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion has vowed to make MMA a top priority.
