Robson Gracie Jr. set for second pro MMA fight at Bellator 222 in New York

A second Gracie will be fighting at Bellator 222.

Robson Gracie Jr. has been booked to fight newcomer Oscar Vera on the prelims of the DAZN-streamed event on June 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Robson, the younger brother of Renzo Gracie, made a successful professional MMA debut last December at Bellator 212, submitting Brysen Bolohao in the second round of their welterweight fight.

Vera will be making his professional debut at Bellator 222.

Robson joins his cousin, Neiman Gracie, on the card. Neiman will fight for the welterweight title against champion Rory MacDonald in the semifinals of the promotion’s 170-pound grand prix.
