Meh, I think he's still better than a lot of MW's on the roster currently. If I was Zuffa, I'd just privated pre-test for PED's before the bout, to save potential embarrassment.

I'd love to see him fight so long as its a thoughtful matchup against someone of equal skill level and age. Obviously dont throw him at Hughes or GSP, but I'm sure they can find a guy to match him up with. I think this is a good thing.

I don't think there is a national testing body in Brazil. So, the UFC is probably going to do all the testing themselves anyway.

It is a ridiculous idea. Gracie's striking hasn't improved since before he fought in the UFC and was fighting in those beach fights.

Here are a list of UFC WW fighters he could be up against:

Fight Matrix - Mixed Martial Arts Rankings

Phil Baroni
Amilcar Alves
Nick Osipczak
Edgar Garcia
Duane Ludwig
Forrest Petz
David Mitchell
Greg Soto
Pascal Krauss
Charlie Brenneman
Carlos Eduardo Rocha

I don't see him beating any of those guys....who are the bottom of the list WW fighters in the UFC.

The only fighter I would like to see him fight is Sakuraba again....Saku is the only guy who has similar striking skills and ground skills...but I doubt that's going to happen in the UFC.
