New York, NY (April 7, 2010) – Days before his Octagon debut at UFC 112: Invincible, Renzo Gracie has

aligned himself with one of MMA’s top apparel lines.

 

Charles Jebara, President of Tokyo Five Brand announced today that the company will sponsor MMA legend

Renzo Gracie for his upcoming bout against Matt Hughes on April 10, 2010 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

 

After a nearly two decade career as a professional fighter Gracie is looking forward to making his UFC debut.

 

“I can’t wait to fight Matt Hughes in the UFC, he is a very worthy opponent,” said Gracie. “I’m also looking

forward to avenging my cousin Royce.”

 

This is the first sponsorship agreement between Gracie and Tokyo Five Brand.

 

“We believe that Renzo runs the best jiu-jitsu academies in the world and we already work with some of his

star students including, Matt Serra, Ricardo Almeida, and Rolles Gracie.” Jebara said. “It’s such an honor for

us to finally work with the master himself.”

 

Tokyo Five Brand will celebrate its partnership with Gracie by releasing the “Chromeo Devil,” a

commemorative jersey depicting the legend of Oguri Hangan, the Ashikga era general known for taming the

wild horse Kilkage.
