It looks sooooo good!! But I digress; unless Matt Hughes has improved his striking game by leaps and bounds, I don't want to see him fight. I hope Gracie can inspire Matt to dedicate more time to farming. I’d love surf west oz. It looks sooooo good!!

Do the writers not know that Rolles Gracie Jr. is fighting at UFC 109. I would think he would be the first Gracie to fight in the UFC since Royce.

Seriously, is the UFC about putting on the best fights in the world...or simply whoring out 'names' to make the biggest profit possible? This fight is ridiculous though. I could care less if I see it. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

It will be interesting, and the fans in Abu Dhabi will definitly appreciate the grappling in this one. As UFC continues its world wide expansion, they will have more shows around the world, but they still have more in the US then the rest of the World combined, because that is where 80% of their revenue comes from.

I got thumbs down again for my typing... gotta be. It's going to be a good fight. Renzo beat Carlos Newton 2 ok.. almost 3 years ago and I am sure Carlos would still give Matt Problems even though he sucks. I think Matt is going to take it but I am sure that Renzo Can stand with Matt ...heck . . anyone can. Renzo will do more than ok on the ground I mean shoot .. Little Matt Sera gave Hughes a run for it. I know Sera is a Jitsu World Champ. Matt is for surely stonger than Renzo.......... Ahhh heck. Renzo wins by Decision. Whoop whoop!! Just because I am tired of seeing Matt and his shitty stand up. 50 fights and he still can't hit anyone LMAO. Damn it ! I got thumbs down again for my typing… gotta be. It’s going to be a good fight.

Try living in Perth, Western Australia, the most isolated city on earth. Admittedly the UFC is coming to Sydney next year but even that is a 9 hour flight from here on the other side of the nullarbor plain and you've actually been at an event live.....lucky bastard. Alright now I've finished my rant onto the fight. Here's hoping Renzo destroys this school yard bully and finally runs him out of the UFC. Sure he is one of the all time greats but I just don't like the guy, so it'd be great to see him get his arse handed to him on a plate.

You can start in Chicago where you still owe us a Main Event after that Anderson Silva Train Wreck!

He has much better hands than Royce but unfortunatly I dont think he will be able to surprise Hughes much with his suubmissions as Hughes is pretty good at defending them.
