Strikeforce Jan 29: Trevor Prangley Talks Roger Gracie

by Nick Thomas on Dec 27, 2010 11:12 AM EST in Strikeforce News

"It’s always good to get a win, especially against a name like (Keith Jardine). If I had lost two in a row at that point in my career, I might be stuck fighting in small shows if I wanted to keep fighting."

"(Roger Gracie) is the last fight on my contract and I just need to get out there and perform."

"It’s going to be a really tough fight for me. He’s undefeated. He doesn’t know how to lose yet, so I’m curious to see how I’ll fare against him. I think it will be a competitive fight on both of our sides."

"I want to thank the fans that have stuck with me, even when I’ve had down times. I think it’s going to be a good fight and Roger is going to take the first loss of his career. With fights that people don’t think I have a chance in, I’ve always managed to pull it off somehow, and I don’t intend to stop now."

Roger's RNC on Randleman

Everytime I see this I cringe, that is a tight choke

Prangley has a decent chance here.
We still don’t know much about Roger’s all around MMA game.

His striking looked decent against Kev, but Prangley is a better fighter than Randleman at this point

I see RNC here and not that political one

If it goes to the ground Gracie takes this easily. Which is why Prangley will stop the takedowns and keep it standing on his way to an uneventful decision.

Any one who thinks Rogers win over Randleman is some thing to be excited about hasn’t been paying attention to Randleman’s record.

IDK why but I feel like putting some money on Roger. No doubt he’ll be the underdog
