Mixed martial arts career

[23] He started training for his first MMA bout with the California based Scrap Pack, [23] a group of fighters comprising Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu students Gilbert Melendez, Nick and Nate Diaz. [4] [24] Gracie made his mixed martial arts debut on December 23, 2014, [25] facing fellow South Korean wrestler Hyung Soo-Kim at Real Fighting Championship: Real 1 at a catch weight of 161 pounds (73 kg).
