Bellator MMA has scooped up another member of the Gracie clan.

Khonry Gracie - son of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and MMA luminary Royce Gracie - has signed with the promotion and is expected to make his pro debut against a yet-to-be-determined opponent on Jan. 20 at Bellator 192, MMA Fighting's Guilherme Cruz confirmed Wednesday.

The 20-year-old made his amateur MMA debut in September as a welterweight, taking a decision over Ben Clark at Attitude MMA Fights 10 in Memphis, Tenn.

He joins welterweight relative Neiman Gracie in Bellator, where father Royce has also competed.

Bellator 192 will see Douglas Lima defend his welterweight title against Rory MacDonald in the main event at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Chael Sonnen meeting in the first bout of the promotion's eight-man heavyweight grand prix. In lightweight action, Michael Chandler takes on the newly re-signed Goiti Yamauchi.
