some of you UFC newbs amuse me. For starters Royce Gracie is a REAL legend and if some of you people knew anything about the UFC or any other MMA organizations prior to you seeing it for free on SPIKE TV, you'd know that. Two, he never fully retired he has fought in PRIDE and other organizations when they wanted to pay him enough, unlike the formly cheap ass UFC...plus he has schools around the United States and Brazil to take care of instead of fighting B level fighters. Three, all of you idiots on the Matt Hughes band wagon are in for a rude awakening. The only shot Matt has is a decision by "lay and pray" which is highly unlikely he'll pull that off given Royce's ground expertise. The only other prayer he has is landing a One and a Million, LUCKY punch on Royce when he's "closing the gap" or coming in for the chute. Yes, Matt is a truly gifted wrestler and thats it. Lets not forget that Carlos Newton had Hughes choked out on his feet (unconscious) and should have won that fight. Lets also not forget that Frank Trigg had Hughes choked out in their first match but was not intellegent enough to finish him. Yes he beat Trigg twice but Trigg is an absolute horrible B level fighter and had the opportunity to beat Hughes. Theres NO way that Hughes will beat Gracie on the ground. The Gracie's invented effective ground fighting BJJ which Pat Militech later learned and copied and called his own. Royce Gracie has fought far more superior fighters who were bigger, faster, and stronger than him. Matt Hughes has never fought a fighter with the caliber and instinct of Gracie. Yes it will be a good fight. Yes they're both great athletes. Royce by submission in the second round and the Legend Continues...
