Ralph Gracie is looking at his own mma return. The Gracie family veteran has been discussing the opportunity to avenge devastating loss to Takanori Gomi.
But in the process he came to discus Renzo’s opponent:
“Renzo’s fight, which marked his return to MMA, helped (at the time of deciding to fight again). Arriving near the ring, I felt all that adrenaline, the guy (president of the ONE) invited me to come back, I could not say no. The urge to break out was very great. It was personal. A personal challenge, more than any other, “explained Ralph, who chose the grub Takanori Gomi as a possible” opponent. ” The Japanese were the only fighter to defeat him, in a confrontation that took place in 2004.
“As it will be in Japan, there is a great possibility of being him (Takanori Gomi). It is the great goal to fight him, but it can be any other fighter as well. I hope it is him. It would have a special taste for revenge. That’s what I wanted, “said Gracie to Tatame.
As for Renzo:
“Wallid is dry, does not stink and does not smell. (Renzo) never chose fighters and will not be now. He wants a rematch with Sakuraba, but he can come whoever goes in, I’m sure of that, “concluded the experienced black belt.
