Rickson Gracie To Fight Yoshida K-1 On New Year's?
MMANEWS.COM
The following is a find from MMANews.com's own Justin Bullock from the official K-1 website (translated from Japanese to English):
"Rickson announced last night at Hero's that he would like to fight forever, but can not do that, but he admitted he has one fight left. Rickson was in talks with Hero's earlier about a possible main event match during K-1's New Years Eve Show. Although Sakuraba would be the obvious choice, rumors are saying that Hidehiko Yoshida will be his opponent, while K-1 would like to see Funaki vs. Sakuraba as a co-main event at the New Years Show. Rickson will request special rules at the fight this December. Stay tuned for more details"
The latest of many recent Rickson Gracie MMA-return rumors. We'll see if this one goes anywhere beyond the "rumor-stage."

The problem is.. (although Rickson is a god) he is
in his 50's. The man has a full head of Grey
hair.However rumors say that he was able to beat Roger in a roll. So I guess the old man still has it if he's able to beat Roger...
