Original Story

Matt Hughes To Fight Renzo Gracie At UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi

From Matt Hughes' blog:

"I didn’t know if I could say anything about my next fight, but I see that Dana has let the cat out of the bag. So I can tell you what I know, on April 10th I will be fighting Renzo Gracie in Abu Dhabi. I haven’t signed any paperwork and I don’t think Renzo has either; but I think this fight is going to happen. That’s all I know, serious training will start for me at the new year."

They're doing the right thing and holding out on having Renzo fight until he clashes with Hughes.  They really want to have another Hughes vs. Gracie match-up so that they can play up the Renzo looking for revenge for Royce angle, but I don't know who else on the UFC roster Renzo can fight that you can trust him to reliably beat.
