Royce Gracie in negotiations to fight at UFC: Rio in August
by Jason Perkins on December 17, 2010

When the UFC returns to the place that started it all, they may rely on the man that started it all to return to the cage for one last curtain call.

According to Gracie himself, the UFC and Royce Gracie are in negotiations to bring the winner of three of the first four UFC tournaments back to the Octagon. Gracie was on hand in Rio to promote the UFC's upcoming Brazilian event slated for Aug. 27.

"We're negotiating it," Gracie stated on the possibility that he may enter the cage to compete.

As for other possible participants Gracie expects Brazil to be well represented.

"Many local guys," Gracie said. "There are many talented guys here. Of course, you have to bring some guys from abroad, but you have to have many local guys fighting here."

B_Type13X2: Why would they do this? Seriously the only person this is worth anything to is Royce and that's for financial reasons. We all saw what happened when he fought a modern MMA fighter already. And who else are they going to bring back? is UFC Brazil going to be for the old guys or something? horizontalcracker: this is dumb, Royce wants money D_V: I just don't see a viable match they could make here. Other than another Sakuraba fight and I don't want to see that shit again. flyangler: Royce vs Hallman, winner and loser get cut. D_V: He should be there, front row, and he should be paid to be there. That's it though. He shouldn't be paid a lot either. The gracie's have all made millions off the UFC name with their gyms. Marker28: Royce vs Ken Shamrock at a catchweight would work. Ken should be healed up by then. Marker28: Royce vs BJ Penn wouldn't be out of the question, but I don't see BJ letting him get out of the 1st rd. arlovskiviako: Kyra!!! Mmmmmmmmmm Mtx: I'm sorry, all I can see here is UFC in Brazil...road trip? Definitely! :D:D:D GO HARD: how bout having kyra as guest rind girl... q; P my 2nd fave gracie was ryan!!
