    Thankfully not Royce again. Also, this is a totally unsubstantiated rumour, meaning it's from the UG, so don't get too excited.

    Rolles Gracie has reportedly signed a UFC contract and is training with--you guessed it--Frank Stallone. I mean Greg Jackson.

    Rolles (Jr.) is the son of Rolles (Sr.) who is the nephew of Helio.

    At 31-years old Rolles is hardly a young pup but he has MMA experience (3-0) and could bring an interesting dynamic to the UFC's heavyweight division, which is currently lacking for high-end grapplers.

    He also has a name that couldn't be more MMA. I mean, come on. Rolles? Gracie?

    Might as well be named Punch Triangle (which, BTW, is my porn name).

    Rolles is expected to debut against Mustapha al-Turk at UFC 109.
