Gracie Inks Deal With UFC, Wants Hughes

Just recently, Renzo Gracie inked a deal with the UFC; the interview, which if you can read Portuguese, can be found at Bloody Elbow. But I do have a short version in English, in the form of talking points:

  • He says he signed for 6 fights
  • When asked about his age, he said “age is in the eyes of the beholder, 42 is the new 30!”
  • He insists that Matt Hughes will be his first opponent and the score will be 1-1 for Hughes vs Gracie.
  • He says this will be the first time he’ll fight at his true weight class.
  • They said they aren’t supposed to say it but they say its gonna be Matt Hughes (its not 100% established at 1:53) because he wants to settle the score.
  • The rest are jokes about how this female reporter, who is the best one in Brazil for MMA, chased him down to get the info.
