Cesar Gracie and Frank Shamrock have signed to fight on October 1st at the HP Pavillion in San Jose. The fight was announced at the Strike Force Event held this last Saturday.
The event will mark the first MMA contest to be officially sanctioned in California. A Gracie vs. Shamrock fight should be the ideal way to start off California's induction to the sport. Frank and Cesar have been in negotiations for the past 2 years in various organizations, however it was K-1 USA promoter, Scott Coker, that finally was able to get this fight together. The contracts have been signed and Gracie vs. Shamrock is on.
