Rodrigo Gracie and Wes Sims Join Beatdown

Rodrigo Gracie (Pictures) is preparing to fight August 5 on K-1 HERO's tournament card. Gracie joins TJ De Santis and Sherdog.com editor Josh Gross to talk about his first round match against Shungo Oyama (Pictures). Rodrigo also discusses the possibility of fighting Kazushi Sakuraba (Pictures) and avenging the losses that the "The Gracie Hunter" holds over his family.

Last weekend was an eventful one for Wes Sims (Pictures). He was asked to be a short-notice replacement on the WFA "King of the Streets" card after Kimo Leopoldo (Pictures) tested positive for a a banned substance. With the WFA in a bind to find a replacement just a day and a half out Sims, who was already preparing to compete for Friday's WEC card in Lemoore, Calif., got the call. Wes joins TJ and Josh to talk about his thought process and why he ended up turning down the Rutten fight for the WEC show, which is a benefit for the late Ryan Bennett.
