UFC legend Royce Gracie 'secures rights to his OWN life story' as part of divorce from ex-wife Marianne Cuttic

UFC legend Royce Gracie has reportedly secured the rights to tell his own life story on film - as part of his prolonged divorce from ex-wife Marianne Cuttic.

According to The Blast, the agreement will also see Gracie keep all of the memorabilia from his MMA career as well as any footage - owned by the family - of his fights.

Gracie, part of the famed family who spread Brazilian jiu-jitsu around the world, reigned supreme at UFC 1, UFC 2 and UFC 4.

His brother, Rorion Gracie, was one of the original creators of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which began in Denver in November 1993.

The 57-year-old last fought as recently as February 2016, when he came out of retirement to face old rival Ken Shamrock at Bellator 149.

Over recent years, however, Gracie has been going through a prolonged divorce. Reports claim the separation has now been resolved, with Gracie awarded his 'life story, including but not limited to, any all rights to the film biography of his life currently in production.' 

He will also secure 'any and all memorabilia, video and/or audio recordings/footage, images, and any other items related to his professional career.'

As part of the reported agreement, Gracie will keep his Lincoln Navigator and stocks in Warner Bros., Comcast, and AT&T, as well as the ‘Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Network’ while 'all interesting in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu curricula' will stay in his name.

The MMA legend has agreed to pay his ex-wife $4,000 in support for the next 10 years.  

Cuttic will also reportedly keep a car and a house in Spain, while the family's mansion in California - said to be worth $4million - will be sold.
