Ricardo Almeida Back From Retirement, Signs With UFC
« on: October 17, 2007, 08:15:01 PM »
"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. "

I remember when he retired....I think it was because he wanted to teach instead of fight.... something like that...its been awhile. Anyways, dude has some skills...I wonder how he will do.
