Royce-gracie

The million dollar man?

Octagon legend Royce Gracie confirmed to Sensei SporTV (via Fighters Only) his asking price for a return to the cage at the upcoming UFC 134: "Silva vs. Okami" event in Rio de Janiero, Brazil on Aug. 27. Apparently Gracie wants a "seven figure purse" for a one and done fight on the card.

Fat chance. But, he's still asking for a rematch with Matt Hughes in Rio, the same Hughes that is booked to fight Diego Sanchez on Sept. 24 at UFC 135. It's no wonder Dana White has shot down all rumors of Gracie fighting in Brazil.

i still think with a lesser payout

It would be stupid to allow him to come back, a 44 year old who hasn’t fought in over 4 years. Not to mention the steroids, he may aswell let Sham come back if Royce does.

spot on man

He’s begging to fight in Brazil yet he asks for a seven figure amount to get him to do it. Fucking stupid business move. Its official he’s done in the octagon.

Train hard to fight easy.

that would be the easiest seven figures of his life

he would probably get finished in the 1st round.

Exactly. He should be saying he will do it for free.

Current bets:
20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.

No respect left for him. Reading this story actually made me angry. Really shows how highly he thinks of himself. FYI Royce, your shit stinks too

This is ridiculous......

His last fight in the octagon was a complete joke and to even want to do it again when it’s so obvious he’s leaps and bounds behind everyone in the ufc is laughable at best. I respect Royce and what he accomplished 17 years ago, but it was so obvious in the fight against hughes that he did not train seruiously and got absolutely mauled. If dana was to bring him in and let him fight I would have to boycott for the UFC…….for at least a week…..

SAving face

I htink he’s asked for a ludicris amount of money so that he knows it wont happen and can save face in his home country…

by elotsip on Jun 24, 2011 3:55 PM EDT reply actions  

Well

The same strategy worked for the reported Royler/Bravo rematch @ Abu Dhabi. Maybe it’s in the family?

by bustachong on Jun 24, 2011 4:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nah.

He’s training with James Toney on how to get paid waaaay too much to get your ass handed to you.

Dear Royce:

Please explain how you go from fighting Hughes, 5 years ago, pocketing $400,000 and getting utterly dismantled, to being told you aren’t going to fight at UFC Rio, then coming out and demanding a Mil?

Signed,

Really fucking confused

I'd ask for a million dollars too

If i knew my night was going to end with my head getting dribbled off the canvas a couple of times.

by cxcelica on Jun 24, 2011 4:40 PM EDT reply actions  

can you blame him?

Seriously, he knows he’s pretty much done, over 40, if you’re going to get beat down.. Do it for the right price:)

yeah, so would I

but there isn’t someone out there dumb enough to give either of us that fight. Same for Gracie.

by Deuce02 on Jun 24, 2011 6:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't really like how he's asking for THAT much money, but I really don't understand

why people have to talk so much shit about the first UFC champ.

Nick Diaz has as much of a chance at beating GSP as George W. Bush becoming re-elected...

If you follow the chain of events leading up to this quote, it is quite easy to understand. Him being a legend doesn’t put him above criticism.

by Deuce02 on Jun 24, 2011 6:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well, I didn't say that he's above criticism, I just don't understand the degree of hate/trash talk.

He’s greedy, picky, and tested positive for steroids. I guess I just don’t really care enough to be like “fuck this guy, he’s a disgrace” or whatever.

Royce vs Shamrock

for 100k each would have been fun. Nostalgia and all…Frank Shamrock really would be fun to me too.

by TTB on Jun 24, 2011 6:43 PM EDT reply actions  

he sure is full of himself aint he? i give props to the man for all he did. BUT, they are not even pursuing you to be on the card and your asking price is a million $ $ $ ?? ooooooooooooooooooookkkk
