Renzo Gracie preparing for second UFC appearance.

[PRShrek]

Inactive since an April 2010 loss to Matt Hughes at UFC 112, Renzo Gracie (13-7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) is preparing for a second fight in the UFC.

"I'm getting ready to fight again," Gracie told MMAjunkie.com in his native Portuguese. "I have a six-fight contract with no predetermined time frame. I still have five fights to go, so I plan to jump back into it."

Gracie, a former PRIDE and IFL fighter, entered the UFC in 2010 with a three-fight win streak, though he hadn't fought since his February 2007 disqualification win over Frank Shamrock at "EliteXC: Destiny." Prior to the win streak, which also included wins over Pat Miletich and Carlos Newton, the MMA and Brazilian jiu-jitsu pioneer had lost six of seven fights.

UFC officials have yet to make any announcements, and Gracie is no longer listed on UFC.com under the promotion's active welterweights – though that's hardly an official measure of his status in the organization.

I hope he's been working on those leg kicks.

who gave Renzo a six fight contract with an open ended timeframe? are we going to see him getting Sakuraba-style legged kicked into oblivion when he is 60?

I love Renzo. .. He is such a doll.

No kidding! Good Times!

I always wondered why Matt went right at Royce taking him to the ground and basically stayed away from the ground with Renzo. Matt seemed to have a lot more respect for Renzo in the way he game-planned. Any thoughts?

I think Matt wanted to show off his kickboxing chops, and maybe he knew Renzo was counting in his jiu-jitsu teaching job as his 9-5 and didn’t want to show him up too badly on the ground.

[edit] that, and Renzo didn’t throw any no-setup lead elbows.
