The stage has been set for Gordon Ryan’s ONE Championship debut.
Ryan, one of the most decorated competitive grapplers of all time, will face MMA legend Shiny Aoki in an “an openweight grappling super match” on Aug. 27, according to an announcement from ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong on Monday.

Ralph Gracie of Danville was also ordered to take part in an anger management program and was placed on three years of formal probation.
Gracie accepted a plea deal from Orange County Superior Court Judge Andre Manssourian, in which the defendant pleaded guilty to a felony count of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury with a sentencing enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury.
