Every one is talking about Royce Gracie's submissions.  But they forget the Matt Hughes has been wrestling since he was a kid and one many championships before he came to the UFC.  Matt is no stranger to submissions or being on the ground.  Matt Hughes will win the fight definitely.  He has age, strength, cardio, and the fact that he is a very active fighter on his side.

UFC fighting is fake what a joke. I can't wait till the fight between Royce Gracie and Matt Hughes. May 27 I would love to see that one. The slamming of Hughes vs Brazilian jujitsu of Gracie. I predict one of the best all-time fights hope it goes for awhile.

Georges St-Pierre  is the complete package. His speed, strength, and well rounded skills are as impressive as I've seen. \n  Matt Hughes has an iron will, a wealth of experience, and is physically strong with an improving  submission game.\n   St-Pierre seems to be peaking at the right time. I think he'll come out with a lot of movement and when they get on the ground, I believe GSP will also win that battle. His passing is excellent, and he maintains outstanding top control, using his legs beautifully. Hughes will not bend over. He is the real deal. But, I see a late rear naked choke in his future, after a war. It should be great, I cannot wait til Saturday.\n  Jeff Monson is a world class grappler with a pretty strong chin and incredible strength.\n  Tim Slyvia is a one dimensional fighter with an obvious size advantage and dangerous with both hands and feet.\n   I look for Monson to get this tree to the ground and show Slyvia the importance of being well rounded fighter. I think Slyvia has an unbelievable threshold for pain, will find his way back to his feet, and win by decision. But Monson could easily submit him.

He's in great shape, and a well rounded fighter.  He has good ground skills and can win with submissions or with his strikes.  He's very good, but I'd still bet on Matt Hughes.

Silva definitely. I personally don't like him but Liddell wouldn't stand a chance. Wanderlei is physically stronger his Thai boxing is a lot better and his jiu jitsu skills are more advanced then Liddell's as well. Chuck's only advantage might be in his wrestling skills which are better then Silva's in my opinion but I don't think it would make much difference in this match. So once again my pick is Wanderlei by TKO or a KO in the first or early in the second round.\nThis match could actually happen soon because Wanderlei is a free agent now, his contract with Pride recently expired. And if UFC presents him a good offer we might be seeing this. I really hope we do.

Hughes Won!\nGracie opened the fight with a couple of range-finding kicks.  Hughes answered with an overhand left that briefly jarred the Brazilian.  Gracie quickly regained his bearings though and kept kicking at Hughes, who drove him into the fence.  With 3:45 left in the round, the fight went to the mat, with the crowd erupting as Gracie looked for a submission.  Hughes kept his cool though and worked his strikes from the top position, eventually locking up Gracie’s left arm.  After some tense moments, Gracie escaped, but soon Hughes got his back and opened up with elbows and strikes.  Seconds later, after a series of unanswered blows to the head, referee John McCarthy had no choice but to halt the bout at 4:39 of the frame.

I'm gonna say Hughes because I think he is a better all around fighter. Gracie doesn't give up and I think the only way he will loose is if he passes out or breaks an arm and the fight gets stopped. I don't really want either one to loose but someone has to.

Hells yeah! We always have a party when a UFC fight is on Pay-Per-View. This is going to be a tough one because Royce is undefeated in the UFC ring and is awesome at submissions. However, Hughes is a POWERHOUSE that could pummel Gracie. Not to mention the fact that Matt is younger and quicker.\n\nI think there is a 50/50 chance of either Gracie with a submission or Hughes with a knockout.

I think we're all excited to see Royce Gracie And Matt Hughes (only 3 more weeks!).  But I want to see St. Pierre and Hughes fight again.  I am a huge St. Pierre fan.  I think any fight with Diego Sanchez will be awesome!

I think Mike is going ot be the winner in the Light Heavyweight.  He is a good fighter and really has a desire to do well.  Also I think he is the kind of person that the UFC is looking for.  Blue collar type guy that relates well to the audiance.\n\nAs for Kendall and Ed, if Ed goes on a bender it is Kendall's to loose.  If Ed keeps his head clear, his experiance could shine through.  But I do like Kendall more.

Matt Hughes is the "prototype" of the UFC fighter. He is strong and well rounded. His background in wrestling helps him dominate on the mat. His Miletich training gives him the background in striking, karate, and Jujitsu. Gracie was dominant in a time when the UFC was basically a tough man contest. These huge guys, with little martial arts background would come and win by brute strength alone. Gracie could submit these guys because no one had any training, let alone knowledge of jujitsu.\n\nTimes have changed and to be a champ you need to be knowledgeable in many martial arts.

I think Hughes would take this fight.\n\nKazushi Sakuraba is a great fighter and  MMA legend, no question about that. He has beaten many excellent opponents such as Quinton Jackson, Kevin Randelman, Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Vitor Belfort and so on. But over the years he has also competed (specially in PRIDE) against fighters a lot bigger then his size and taken horrible beatings and injuries against some of them. Silva really broke and injured him badly in all of their matches, Mirko also in their fight and in the match against Ricardo Arona he was literally almost killed. He was left laying on the canvas after the first round  badly hurt, bloodied and beaten, with blood even coming from his ears and it was really a terrible sight. So those matches really left a huge impact on his body and ability to fight at his best.\n\nAnd Matt Hughes is on the other hand in my opinion the best fighter in UFC history, a man at the peak of his career and on top of his game. His striking is good, wrestling and groundwork nothing less then incredible (the way he dominated Gracie was awesome) and he is by far physically strongest and most powerfull man in his weight class and I have no doubt that he would severely overpower Sakuraba even though he weighs a bit more.\n\nSo if the fight was 5 or 6 years ago I would maybe go with Kazushi, but now he has no chance of beating Hughes. So I pick Matt by TKO or a very convincing decision.

Isn't he fighting this month or next?  I think he's fighting that little dude, Matt Something.  The guy that was one of the team leaders on the TV show.  WHAT THE HELL IS HIS NAME???\n\nTHAT'S IT, HUGHES! I'm glad someone wrote that, it would have bugged me all night.

Hughes won the fight and there was nothing controversial about it. Hughes clearly dominated Gracie and it was clear that Hughes was the winner. If there were no referee to stop the fight, Royce could have suffered brain damage from the shots that Hughes gave him while mounted on his back.

Here's my play by play of the fight.\n\nGoing into the fight we new each fighter had their own advantages. Royce is an expert technician on the ground with dangerous submissions. Hughes is powerful and well rounded.\n\nTo win, Hughes' strategy was most likely to avoid going to the ground for as long as possible, while wearing Royce out on his feet. From the ground, Hughes' goal would be to protect himself from submissions and wear on him with the ground and pound.\n\nTo prepare for the fight Royce worked on his striking skills. He knew that Matt was a well rounded fighter and that he would need to be prepared to face off against him in a striking match until he could take it to the ground. On ground he is a much more technical fighter, but without a gi he knew he would have a harder time defending himself from the 'ground and pound' attack of Hughes.\n\nThe fight started off as expected. Royce showed that he had worked on his striking while Matt avoided the double leg take down that he usually attacked other opponents with. A few minutes in the fighters got into a clench and Matt took Royce down to a side mount, giving himself a good advantage. He worked to keep the pressure on Royce using his elbows while Royce kept a strong defense and worked to slip in his guard.\n\nMatt got an arm lock on Royce, but Royce was able to slip in a half guard to take away his leverage. That combined with his flexibility kept Matt from submitting him. From here the fight took a surprising turn. Matt was able to pass Royce's guard and return to the superior side mount. I think that Royce was too relaxed in letting him do this. He was probably over confident in his ability to control the fight from the ground.\n\nFrom there Royce made yet another mistake. In an attempt to turn Matt he slipped off and gave him his back. It was an incredibly sloppy move for someone of his experience. You could see in his face how disappointed he was with himself after the fight. From there Matt pounded on the back of Royce's head until the fight was called.\n\nI'd like to see a rematch of the fight. Matt definitely controlled the fight, but I was disappointed to see Royce lose by making such a careless mistake. I think that he was over confident in his superiority on the ground, and would likely fight a more careful match if given another chance.
