Royce Wants Rematch

In a recent interview with MMA Weekly, Royce Gracie has stated that he wants a rematch with Matt Hughes, who defeated him at UFC 60, and that talks with the UFC are already underway in terms of making the fight happen.

MMAWeekly: Do you want a rematch with Matt Hughes?

Royce Gracie: Of course

MMAWeekly: Are you in negotiations with the UFC to make this fight happen?

Royce Gracie: We are talking to them. We shall see.

MMAWeekly: Touching on Hughes, did you learn anything from the fight? Did he surprise you?

Royce Gracie: No, we knew what he was planning to do. We worked out his gameplan before the fight, and he did exactly what we expected. I over-trained for the fight. That was all. I started training too much, too hard, for too long. He did exactly what we expected.
