ANGELES, May 27 – The party line before the UFC 60 main event between Matt Hughes and Royce Gracie was that the sport of mixed martial arts had passed the Brazilian legend by and that he couldn’t compete with the new breed of mixed martial artist. Yet while Hughes was dominant in a first round stoppage victory before a packed house at STAPLES Center, there is no doubting the toughness of Gracie, who not only made his return to the Octagon for the first time in over ten years, he did it against the premier welterweight in the game.

Fight just over and the ground and pound of Hughes took over. I cant waite for Gracie to come back though! and I wouldn't mind if Tank Abbott took out Hughes just to give him a little taste of the mat!

It will be a great night of fights\n\nI hope ken wins but i have to put my money on Tito\nKen has been working on submissions again witch he didn't spend much time on the last time they fought but i will be looking at the same outcome. Ken will retire win or lose.\n\nTim and Andrei will be more of an edge of your seat battle no doubt the fight of the night Tim will be looking for a different game plan I'm guessing he will try to take Andrei down in the first for a little ground and pound then try KO him in the second. Who ever wins hope it is a KO.

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.

No. I do not think the fight was fixed. For one thing, the gi is no longer allowed in the UFC. That has been the case for a long time now. It was strange that the Gracies weren't in his corner although Helio was watching from the crowd. He did have his family in the dressing room and he was training with one of them. Gracie has been working on his striking skills and that was part of his strategy going in. But what I found strange was not the fact that he was striking. It was the fact that Hughes made all of the submission attempts and nearly broke Royce's arm. He didn't look like the old Royce but to say that he threw the fight for some unknown political reason seems a bit far fetched. The Gracie's are very proud of their reputation and I don't think they would throw a fight. I think Matt Hughes is just the better fighter of them in today's world. If Matt had fought Royce while he was in his prime, I think the outcome would have been different.

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.

Well Matt Hughes won.  He dominated the entire time and at the end, Gracie was in a position where he could not defend himself.  I would have much rather seen Gracie win.  Even though he lost, he still fought with dignity considering how Hughes had Gracie's arm bent backwards and he still managed to squirm out.  All in all, it was a dissapointing fight.

Yeah. I was. I thought the Gracie vs. Hughes fight would go to a decision.

Kendall Grove v. Ed Herman...Kendall won by decision but Dana awarded them both contracts like he did on UFC I (Stefan Bonner v. Forrest Griffen). The second fight is about to start. \n\nBisping the Brit won the 2nd fight.

it will be a repeat of the royce/shamrock fight...royce will get a little bloody, but with patience and superior ground technique..he will tap out hughes.

STOP WITH THESE DUMB vs. QUESTIONS!!!!\n\nIt all depends on who is the better fighter that day... I could whoop Helio Gracie in his prime if he slipped and I got a lucky 1 and a million punch to his temple.... ITS ALL A GAME OF CHANCE!!!!!\n\nRARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

GSP deflated Hughes ego with a kick to the head and a flurry of strikes. Hughes got a well-deserved @$$ whoopin'.

oh man...he (gracie) lost in the first round a little over 4 minutes...man that completely devastaed me...mostly because i know how he felt loosing...he had more to fight for,his name,his family,his dad,and the art in which his family perfected (gracie ju-jit-su)...i am very heartbroke over it but in my mind gracie is still the best warrior to come to ufc...his age probably had a part in it as well as having kids and a wife...when you have a family you become civilized and less agressive.   but he is still the best and i would walk thru hell with him any time!!!GUARANTEED!\nand i do like matt and i like him being the champ...but i didnt want to see what i saw!  but i guess time palys a big part in all sports and every generation gets twp steps ahead of the last,just like baseball...and all the drugs they have now adays play a big part in their strength.and gracie never took anything like that...hell hes 6' and skinny as a rail!not all buff like all the others.\nbut gracie still rules

MATT HUGHES WON IN FIRST ROUND

I am not really sure.  I was at the UFC (was it 59?) live in Las Vegas for the USA vs. Canada matches when GSP beat BJ Penn and frankly the whole crowd was in an uproar because we really felt BJP should have won.  I was not impressed with GSP's performance that night (a little sarcasm for you there).  I also think GSP is a little overconfident going into this fight, which could be his downfall.  Lots of people say Matt is cocky, well have you watched UFC Unleashed (the special about the upcoming matches)?  GSP did nothing but talk about how great he is and how much training he has, how superior his training is over Matt's and how much better than Matt he is all around.  Everything Matt said was in response to GSP's constant macho uptalk about himself.  I really like Matt Hughes - he impressed the heck out of me with his win over Royce Gracie.  However, I think he should have put BJ Penn away a lot sooner in the match than he did.  So I'm nervous about the fight.  I WANT Matt to win (badly) but I think GSP has a good chance at it.
