Khonry Gracie has an opponent for his professional MMA debut, and it’s a fellow debutant.
Gracie, the son of UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie, had already been booked for Bellator 192 and now has an opponent in Devon Brock for the Jan. 20 event at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., set to air on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie.
Brazilian website Combate was first to report the news, which MMAFighting.com confirmed.
It’s be the first professional fight for both Gracie and Brock, though Brock is undefeated in five amateur bouts that have all taken place in 2017.
Gracie, meanwhile, has just one amateur bout on his record, which he won by unanimous decision in September.
With the addition, the latest Bellator 192 card now includes:
- Champ Douglas Lima vs. Rory MacDonald – for welterweight title
- Quinton Jackson vs. Chael Sonnen – heavyweight grand prix opening round
- Michael Chandler vs. Goiti Yamauchi
- Henry Corrales vs. Georgi Karakhanyan
