For Renzo Gracie, “middle-age crisis” includes defending family’s honor

At 42 years old, it’s been more than two years since MMA pioneer Renzo Gracie (13-6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has set foot in a cage.

But this April, Gracie will debut for the UFC on the main card of “UFC
112: Invincible” in Abu Dhabi when he takes on UFC legend and future
Hall-of-Famer Matt Hughes (43-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC).

It’s a bout rife with storylines, and Gracie recently told
MMAjunkie.com Radio that he’s in the best
shape of his life as he prepares to deal with what his wife calls a
“middle-age crisis.”
