Metamoris founder Ralek Gracie went on record Thursday to say that he plans to repay his outstanding debts -- with interest. 

In an interview with Matt Freeman of Inside BJJ, Gracie -- who recently announced a comeback to MMA after a six-year absence -- said that he would procure a loan to repay those owed money by Metamoris. 

"We have to get a loan," Gracie said. "Everybody's going to be happy, we're going to pay all of the athletes -- they're going to tweet about it and everything's going to be OK. Great. And if that's the only option now, great. 

"It helps that everything is the way that it is, because now people can see that this will actually work and it's not that big of a deal. 

And they will get paid, and they will get paid with interest -- anyone that we're late on, and I believe in that.

"Moving forward, I'm sorry to all the athletes," Gracie said. "I'm not necessarily going to be the guy cutting your check and shaking your hand anymore, because you're going to think I'm going to do something to hurt you. But in fact I'm going to hold the vision and move forward and take this industry where I really believe it's going to create benefits for everyone across the board. I feel I'm capable of doing that."
