World Victory Road Accuses Roger Gracie of Faking Injury

by Kid Nate on Sep 22, 2008 12:04 PM EDT

Japan-MMA has the story:

-They requested an official doctors certificate and CT scan showing the injury.
-They requested Roger Gracie to come to Japan to be examined by WVR's doctor

On both these points Roger Gracie has failed to comply and WVR/Sengoku are considering penalties.

I've been critical of Roger in the past and thought maybe I was being too hard on the guy, but I have to say this looks really really weak. Travis Wiuff is not that dangerous -- unlike previous duckees Josh Barnett and Jeff Monson, he's a perfect step-ladder for Gracie at this early point in his career.

Just wow.

Shows you don’t have to have heart to be a world-class competitor.

When did he duck Barnett?

i wonder what kind of penalties they will enforce. It’s allready been a while since he fought last so maybe they’ll just bench him for a while longer? Can they fine him for something like that?

quack quack roger

hey, didn’t roger gracie also bow out of the fight w/ frank shamrock from proelite destiny’s first event? frank may have hit him w/ a knee to the head but if you watch it, it certainly wasn’t strong enough to have the fight called and him claim he was dizzy, etc. imo of course.

i think he’s got a case of pussyitis. :-)

I think you have a case of notknowingwhatthefuckyou’retalkingaboutitis. That was Renzo Gracie.
