Manager optimistic on Royce Gracie's UFC return, negotiations ongoing

The Ultimate Fighting Championship has given fans a voice in deciding who fights at "UFC: Rio," and the promotion has offered 33 Brazilians to choose from.

No. 34 could be a lock.

Three-time UFC tournament champion and UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie is in continuing negotiations with the promotion to appear in a retirement fight at the Brazilian event, which is expected to take place Aug. 27 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
