The jiu-jitsu ace was outpointed on the scorecards by Hisaki Kato in a forgettable affair at Bellator 170. Kato (8-2 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) and Gracie (3-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) did almost nothing of substance during their 15-minute showdown, but in the end Kato was awarded for his slightly better offense and earned a unanimous decision victory. The middleweight bout aired on the Spike-televised main card at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Prelims streamed on MMAjunkie

Why are you coming back? “It seems very obvious to me,” Gracie told MMAjunkie in advance of his return to MMA at Bellator 170 after a seven-year layoff. “I’m just doing what my family has been doing for generations. I’m not coming from anywhere, and I never wanted to stop in the first place. It’s obvious to me, but not necessarily the world.” Gracie is a member of MMA’s first family.

Aside from taking promotional queues from mixed martial arts and leveraging the appeal of fighters like Shinya Aoki and Brendan Schaub in its events, Metamoris is also changing the fundamental structure of the competitions. Metamoris matches consist of a single 20-minute round where winners are determined by obtaining a submission or a clear-cut decision
