Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace, Eddie Bravo discusses how the long awaited rematch with Royler Gracie is finally becoming a reality and gives a guide to Metamoris for the casual fan..

...

In a recent interview with Bloody Elbow, Bravo discussed how the match, after so many rumored bookings, is just now coming to fruition and gives casual fans an easy fact guide to Metamoris. Here's what he had to say:

How the rematch finally came to be

I think it was money. I think he got offered quite a bit of money, and finally decided to make it happen. You know, Metamoris has become about as prestigious an event as you can get. The production value is great, it's submission only, there are super fights; it really doesn't get much bigger than Metamoris.

Ralek (Gracie) offered us both the fight on the first Metamoris card, but he (Royler) declined. He wanted too much money, according to Ralek. I think after that first show, which ended up being epic, Royler probably thought to himself,
 
Can't wait for this, really enjoyed both other Metamoris events.
 
Left a bad taste in my mouth after Aoki lost to a BS ref call
 
My biggest complaint about that article is that it gives short shrift to Royler's accomplishments. It's sort of like "Eddie Bravo pulled off this most amazing win of all time and has so many successful schools and is a great musician and wrote all these great books. And Royler, yeah, he's had some successes too in BJJ, I guess." Royler is a freaking multiple time world champ in both gi and no gi. Might as well mention those accolades if you're gonna point out that Eddie recorded some crappy music.

In fact, if Royler didn't have those accomplishments, then Eddie just beat some guy.

Eddie probably wrote 99% of that article, despite it having Steph Daniels' name on it.
