Royce Gracie to return to UFC

Apparently he is looking to fight at the UFC card in Rio.

He is on the UFC site as a middleweight - so who do you think should face him?

Damian Maia could be a good fight for him

Maia is a good shout, although I'm a massive fan so watching him fight anybody would be good. Nate Marquart maybe?

Maia is Brazillian too so it makes a good headline match although if he were to win (which he is likely to), he would be booed by his own fans!

If he loses, where does that leave him? Its a lose-lose for him.

I reckon Bisping would be a good choice - he's not the greatest guy in the division but is high profile and would benefit from the match.

Can't see Royce Gracie beating Marquart or Bisping - has'nt got the stand up to do so

A fight with another grappler ius the only way i see him winning - and my first shout of Damian Maia would most likely beat him there too

Gracie is finished as a fighter but agree he would have a chance against a grappler such as Maia. Anyone know why he's back?

According to ESPN MMA Live it will be more of an "exhibition" match than a full blown fight - which would make sense as Royce is defo finished as a fighter - grappling match a possibility?

Royce seems to be hyping his return but the only problem is Dana White has said it's not happening. Ken Shamrock wants him on the card and said it should be headlined by a Gracie vs. Shamrock super fight but I think Shamrock is the only 1 who believes that would actually be good for business.
