On first hand for GRACIEMAG.com, Ricardo Almeida revealed that he has just signed a six fights contract with UFC. Cachorrao is considered one of the most talented fighters today. The comeback of Renzo Gracie's black belt to MMA was scheduled to happen early this month at Cage Fury Fighting Championship, but the event never came through. Therefore, Cachorrao negotiated a deal with Dana White.
Before signing, Almeida looked into five different offers. His first bout should be scheduled for the beginning of 2008. "The final goal of my return was to get to the UFC, so I thought why not go straight there at once," said Cachorrao to GRACIEMAG.com.
