The report from GracieMag on Friday that Roger Gracie had signed with the UFC may be false, as it has since been refuted.
Fighters Only's John O'Regan posted on Twitter that a "high-placed" source informed him that Gracie had not been signed and that the initial report was incorrect. Additionally, the source said Strikeforce is still "business as usual," with Gracie still under contract there.
Though it's certainly possible that something could change on this front, for now there hasn't been an official word from the UFC regarding his signing. So until the UFC announces a debut fight for Gracie in the Octagon, the assumption will be that he's still in Strikeforce.
