Renzo Gracie on MMA return: ‘This is not my farewell fight’

After eight years of inactivity, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu legend Renzo Gracie will be making his return to MMA competition. And at 51 years of age, he is not looking at retirement any time soon.

Gracie will be facing fellow veteran Yuki Kondo this Friday at ONE Championship: Reign of Kings in Manila, Philippines, a fight that he says will not be his last.

“I believe I’m going to fight more. I’m going to impress people with this fight, and they’re going to want me to fight more, so I will do it. This is not my farewell fight,” Gracie said (via FloGrappling).
