    Matt Hughes knows he's done - he's taking the name route to get the payday's while he can. Consider him the inferior Gracie Killer now.

    Sakuraba = Gracie Killer
    Hughes = Gracie Pension?
    Still lookin forward to this fight though, both guys are in pretty good shape. Cant be worse than Randy v Coleman

    Hughes is my all time favourite MMA fighter and the reason i got into MMA.

    As for the fight i think whilst Hughes is past his best (as is Gracie), i think he will win via decision, in a pretty decent, not great, but decent fight.

    Renzo is far and away the best Gracie imo.

    THE answer:
    It makes sense that Renzo will fight in the United Arab Emirates vs Hughes. I am sure that he was partially instrumental for the 10% investment stake in Zuffa being bought by a Dubai company. According to Wikipedia: "He has also been the personal jiu-jitsu teacher of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, since 1993".
    Part of the terms of the deal probably has Gracie a small percentage share of Zuffa and a contract to fight.
