MMA legend Royce Gracie not retiring, open to fights with Sean Sherk and Dan Severn

It seems as if Royce Gracie isn't done adding to an already legendary mixed martial arts (MMA) career.

The former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament winner and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pioneer recently sat down with Combate (h/t Bloody Elbow) in effort to shed some light on his future as a 49-year-old fighter well past his prime.

"Man, I'm trying to leave this game," said Gracie. "I'm not retired. I'm on a break, but it's hard to quit, because I like to fight. When you like something, it's not work, it's a pleasure.
