Anton Tabuena of Bloody Elbow spoke to Renzo Gracie and shares the following:
Matt Hughes v. Renzo Gracie Will Not Happen At UFC 109
I spoke to Renzo Gracie yesterday at the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York, and contrary to earlier rumors, he won’t be fighting Matt Hughes in his Octagon debut. The match up though has indeed been talked about and will most likely happen, but it was actually negotiated for his second UFC fight, and not the first.
Anton got other information on his visit but this is by far the most important.
I don’t think Renzo’s game is so great that he is sure to win any tune-up bout so they have to be very careful in how they approach the situation if the overall desire is to get Gracie in the cage with Hughes.
