Kyra Gracie is a three-time ADCC gold medalist and five-time jiu-jitsu world champion, and considered one of the best grapplers in the world. So, will she ever take her skills into the cage and compete in MMA? Maybe.<\/p>\n

Gracie, who just premiered a new show on Fight Pass, joined The MMA Hour<\/a> and said that she really can’t rule out ever transitioning into MMA, but right now she’s just to busy.<\/p>\n

Here’s what she had to say:<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s always hard for me, especially because I\u2019ve been competing my whole life in jiu-jitsu, and I\u2019m a big fan of MMA. But it\u2019s hard for me to say \u2018oh, I\u2019m never doing MMA\u2019. It\u2019s always something I wanna try. But my life is kind of busy now, I have the show, my baby, a lot of things going on. I can\u2019t say I\u2019ll never fight.”<\/em><\/p>\n

If she were to make the move, it’s clear that people would automatically look towards a fight between her and UFC champ Ronda Rousey, who she has nothing but kind things to say about:<\/p>\n

“The way she fights, she goes there to finish the fight. She has a very good ground game and I admire her a lot. All of her victories before MMA, in judo and everything, and I think she opened the door for the new generation of girls that wanna join MMA and the girls that are enjoying the sport.”<\/em><\/p>\n
