Supposedly he will fight someone with "similar MMA experience". I was hoping for Kron Gracie, who is a BJJ Black Belt but has no MMA fights. It will prolly be something along those lines. UFC will not pit him against a can and I predict he loses his first fight. He is with a legit camp and Duke Rufus is a striking guru. He is training with former UFC and WEC Lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and former Bellator and current ONE FC Welterweight Champ and outstanding amateur wrestler Ben Askrin. He will draw the casual MMA/hardcore wrestling fans, which is his purpose. I predict he will fight two or three times, make some good money (I'm sure he'll get PPV points and his PPV will sell) and retire 1-2.
