Strikeforce – Roger Gracie vs. Trevor Prangley Prediction

ROGER GRACIE vs. TREVOR PRANGLEY

Fight Overview:  Well-rounded veteran Trevor Prangley faces off with undefeated jiu-jitsu chamion Roger Gracie in a Light Heavyweight matchup.  Prangley is much more well-rounded and experienced, but Gracie’s jiu-jitsu is on a whole different level from most fighters.

Prangley’s Strengths:  Prangley has good wrestling and submissions, good defense standing and on the ground, and a wealth of experience.

Prangley’s Weaknesses:  He is not the type of guy who can dominate a fight with dynamic offense, and he does nothing as well as Gracie does jiu-jitsu.

Gracie’s Strengths:  Gracie has some of the best jiu-jitsu on Earth, much less in MMA.

Gracie’s Weaknesses:  This is a huge step up in competition for him, he is still very inexperienced, and his standup is still extremely raw.

The Verdict:  The style matchup here favors Gracie.  Prangley is not prone to keeping fights standing, and even if he tries it is going to be very difficult to hold Gracie off for three rounds.  On the ground, Prangley is clearly outclassed, and he will not be able to survive for long.  Gracie by submission.
