    I think the headline pretty much covered it.

    DFW said before that they had no plans to use Gracie at UFC Rio in August but since today has upgraded from 'no' to 'I don't know'.

    It is still a terrible match-up for Gracie but there aren't a lot of welterweight fights out there for him. Obviously a match with Wallid Ismail would be epic but probably only appeals to 1/50 UFC fans.

    Gracie was pretty coy with Ariel Helwani for some reason but he still made it clear that a) he wants a fight b) in Rio c) against Matt Hughes. He said he wasn't in town to talk up DFW but rather to promote his Gracie BJJ DVD release.
