UFC Quick Quote: Krzysztof Soszynski preparing for a bloody war against Stephan Bonnar on Feb. 21
(mmamania.com) I’m not expecting to go into this fight and win this fight in the first or second round. Most likely this is going to be a brutal fight, a lot of blood everywhere on both sides.

He’s going to be preparing 100 percent, be aggressive and come out firing to finish this fight.

Rolles Gracie's UFC Debut Was "Embarrassing"
(mmamania.com) And according to cousin Renzo Gracie, it really wasn't due to training, injuries, etc. but actually nerves. Fact is the nerves drained him of his energy. His stand up and ground work looked bad, nothing at all like he was doing in training leading up to the fight and it was if he couldn't hear what I was telling him. I think the pressure he put on himself overwhelmed him. He'll learn and be back." Rolles Gracie was TKO'd by Joey Beltran at UFC 109.

He’s a champion, a born striker, but we won’t continue working together in this partnership due to lack of tune in some moments.
