Naturally, having that last name means that UFC will instantly get behind him from a promotional perspective and they will be hoping that a star emerges in the upcoming event UFC on ESPN+ 19.
He will be co-main eventing the Fight Night and it’s a huge step up in competition for him. When speaking to MMA Junkie, he revealed the pact between the Diaz Brothers and Urijah Faber’s Team - one that stated that they would never fight each other’s teammates.
It’s a pact that hasn’t been broken, but Kron Gracie frustratingly revealed that he might have to do that and it’s because of Faber.
“I’m still mad”
Gracie went into depth with MMA Junkie about the pact between Urijah Faber’s team and The Diaz Brothers, saying that Urijah Faber wanting to fight him changed everything:
He said that he declined the fight initially because he didn’t want to make anybody from either team feel weird.
He revealed that he’s still mad at Faber and doesn’t share a relationship with him. If he does beat Cub Swanson, one would imagine that UFC might set up a huge bout against Faber.
