Earlier this year, Real Fight Championship announced that it would be promoting Kron Gracie’s MMA debut, and now the organization has reportedly announced who the jiu-jitsu star will fight.

According to a report from MMA in Asia.com, Gracie has been booked to fight South Korean wrestler Kim Hyung-Su on December 23rd. The lightweight fight will take place at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan.

For some time there has been considerable speculation as to if and when Gracie would transition into MMA. The 26 year-old fighter is the son of MMA legend Rickson Gracie, and won a Gold Medal in the 77 kilogram division at the 2013 ADCC Submission Wrestling Championships.

The BJJ black belt has also won numerous grappling and jiu-jitsu competitions.
