Gracie wants UFC return after Metamoris 5
Renzo GRacie: “Everything is going great and I’m ready to kick some butt. And soon, believe it, after Sakuraba, I’m coming for UFC.”
Renzo Gracie today joined the MMA Hour to discuss his upcoming jiu-jitsu match against Kazushi Sakuraba, which takes place November 22nd in California.
Gracie is now forty-seven years old, fourteen years older than when he first lost to Sakuraba at PRIDE 10. Gracie is excited at the prospect of avenging that loss even if only in a jiu-jitsu match, but does also plan to continue his MMA career:
“I have been very busy. I began a pharmaceutical company. Something very big that is taking off and working great. On top of that, I had problems with my family that I had to take care of, so I couldn’t train. My son got sick and it took me a year off anything I can do. He is now much better and he will probably be in my corner. Everything is going great and I’m ready to kick some butt. And soon, believe it, after Sakuraba, I’m coming for UFC. I am serious as hell, my friend, believe it.”
