UFC 112’s Renzo Gracie says destiny guided him to fight Matt Hughes

While bookmakers have pegged MMA pioneer Renzo Gracie (13-6-1 MMA, 0-0
UFC) is as a massive underdog in his UFC 112 matchup with fellow legend
Matt Hughes (43-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC), the Brazilian welterweight is
confident he’ll bring pride back to his family’s name.

After all, Gracie remembers well the night in 2006 when Hughes earned a
dominating first-round TKO over Royce Gracie, Renzo’s cousin.

Now Renzo believes it’s time for a little payback.
