Since its creation, UFC got marked by Royce Gracie, who revolutionized the world of fights presenting the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Fifteen years later, another member of Gracie family will finally get in the octagon, but this family return won’t be transmitted by the pay-per-view.

On UFC 109, that takes place on February 6, Rolles Gracie Will debut against Mostapha Al Turk, but the fight will happen on the preliminaries. With Rogério Minotouro’s injury, the black belt Demian Maia, who will face Dan Miller, was promoted to the main card. On the first edition of UFC in Abu Dhabi, to April 10, another Gracie will debut on the octagon, but the fight between Renzo and Matt Hughes will show live.
