Hughes got gracie in a kimura, which very nearly broke his arm, gracie got out of it, but then hughes backed him, got on him, and just kept striking him in the head. The ref called the bout at 4:39 into the first round. SO hughes won by TKO.

matt hughes got knocked down with a kick to the head then got his head beat in on the floor. Tim Silva won by decision it was a boring fight he was way too tall for his oppenent. He is 6'8 and he fought a guy that was 5'7 no match.

Matt Hughes defeated Royce Gracie via TKO, due to strikes, at 4:39 of round 1. Hughes appeared to nearly have some sort of an arm-lock submission hold on Gracie a minute or so earlier, but Gracie did not seem bothered by it at all; he showed no pain on his face and was not about to tap out to Hughes, even though it looked like his arm was being bent back pretty badly. It was a dominant win by Hughes, when the referee stopped the fight because Gracie could not intelligently defend himself from the massive strikes Hughes was putting on him.

I think Matt Hughes is going to win. Remember, he is in GSP's head, and combine that with the BJ Penn fight, Hughes has to realize that the competition is closing in on him. I think with his "farm-boy" working attitude, he is going to train even harder for this fight. He is highly motivated because of the fact that GSP dissed him after he beat Penn. Very exciting fight, but in the end, Hughes will have his arm raised in victory once again.

LMAO Brad, I just mentioned something similar in a response to a question earlier. Problem is we need a Juggernaut to come in and clean it up, KO everyone he faces and take all the belts. Then it will really feel like the 80s. \n\nI also agree with what I perceive was a distaste for the fight last night. I almost turned it off. Did you get a look at Brock's feet position?? What in the world? Is this guy just stepping into the ring for the first time? He keeps his feet so close together a stiff breeze could knock him over. Wladimir still gets frazzled when something bad happens, after he got cut he looked like a frightened little boy. "Manny Help me please, tell me its gonna be all right, kiss the boo boo"\n\nOne fighter from the 80s I liked to watch was Michael Dokes, his fight with Holyfield in March of 89 was fantastic.\n\nMaybe they can stage a play where Wladimir plays Cooney, Valuev plays Coetzee, Toney plays Tubbs, Rahman plays Witherspoon etc etc They can enter the ring to songs like "Tainted Love" or "Sweet Dreams"..

Everyone with their conspiracy theories...\nGet over it. GSP did what most of us knoew was going to happen. BJ Penn did it to Matt too in the first 2 rounds GSP just finished the job. Why can't you just accept that Matt Hughes lost. This is becoming like a WWE forum now.

Matt Hughes by KO. Gracie will try Hughes to tap out. Hughes' strength and composure will be too overwhelming for Gracie.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu changed the way we trained for fighting in the US.  If you pick up a copy of the first UFC you'll see that Shamrock, who was at the time a champion Japanese shoot fighter, was the only fighter prepared to fight on the ground besides Gracie.  Royce shut all of his opponents down within minutes because of that advantage.  Fighters like Matt Hughes are as rounded as they are because of that Gracie influence.  They've stepped up their ground skills to be able to survive on the mat.  But that's also created a need for ground fighters to step up their striking skills as well.  You probably noticed that Royce looked a little more prepared to strike on his feet than he has been in previous matches.\n\nThe Huges vs Gracie fight was disappointing, though.  If you've ever trained in BJJ you'd know that Royce made an amateur mistake when he gave up his back to Matt.  People have brought up that he is past his prime, but he didn't lose because he wasn't physically prepared.  He lost because of a critical error that gave Hughes and incredible position.\n\nI'd like to see a rematch.  I'm not saying that Royce would win.  I would just rather see him lose a better fight than that.

I don't know what going on with Scott Harrison recently he seems to have lost the plot. I can't see him being mentally ready to fight on December 9th and its probably in his best interests to not fight and be stripped of the title. Nicky Cook is no joke and i would favour him to beat Harrison at his best even though it would be close, but if they fight on the 9th i think Cook will win easily due to Harrison not being mentally or physically ready.

Matt Hughes beat him last night in UFC 60 :-(

I am pretty sure that Hughes will win. The Gracie of the early 90's I would've had my money on but he's getting old. He pretty much relies on submissions and I'm sure Hughes is training like hell to counter the subissions.

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!

Lutter totally imposed his gameplan on Patrick Cote, took him down as Cote attempted a to stand back up Lutter caught him in an armbar. \n\nMatt Sera won a decision over Chris Lytle, I think Lytle fought well but matt was constantly the agressor dispite the fact the Lytle (the striker) constantly stuffed his jui-jitsu attempts that would have smothered a lesser opponent, it was a decision surrounded by contraversy as serra was booed constantly during the trophy presentation and even had the balls to call the current Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes a "Fu.cking D.ckhead". \n\nJorge Rivera mounted an excellent standup offense forcing Edwin "Bam Bam" Deewees into the cage taking punishment and although he took very little if any actual damage he made no attempt to be offensive or even better his position forcing the referee to end the fight\n\nThales Leites faced Martin Kampmann. Heavily hyped fighters can have a huge impact on the sport (Anderson Silva), while others are just that... hype (Sean Gannon). Thales Leites had quite a bit of hype coming into his bout with Martin Kampmann, but the Brazilian was unable to live up to the fans' anticipation after gassing out late in the first round and getting knocked around for the remainder of the fight. Kampmann looked very good with his stand-up, and to Leites credit, he withstood a world of punishment in the second and third rounds without being finished. At the end of the day, Martin Kampmann is the fighter walking out still undefeated in the UFC, while Leites heads back to Brazil to figure out what went wrong.\n \nIn what was one of the most exciting fights in recent UFC history, Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith squared off with his good friend from the show, Pete “Drago” Sell. This fight was taped as a preliminary bout earlier in the night and aired during the Spike TV broadcast. \n\nOn paper, it seemed like Sell would want to take the fight to the ground, where he would have the advantage over Smith, but it was much the opposite as these two threw everything, including the kitchen sink, at each other while standing up. They both smiled continuously as they pounded on one another and at the end of the first round, they hugged and almost looked like they were going to the same corner after the round. The second round saw much of the same but with a couple of minutes remaining, Pete Sell landed a very big shot to Scott Smith’s ribs, causing him to buckle and stumble towards the corner. Just as Smith fell to one knee and “Drago” moved in for the kill, the former WEC Light Heavyweight Champion mustered just enough strength to throw one more punch, and in dramatic fashion he absolutely floored Sell with the shot. Just barely having the strength to jump up and finish the fight, Smith instantly crumbled afterwards, holding his stomach in obvious pain. There’s not much of a chance that the UFC won't bring back both of these fighters after what has to be considered fight of the night.\n\nAlso, Rich “No Love” Clementi and Din Thomas put on an action packed fight, as the 155-pound fighters usually seem to do. The fight remained standing for a big part of the first round with Clementi throwing heavy shots but Thomas was the definitively better striker, landing the crisper punches throughout. \n\nIn the 2nd round, the action was moving at a feverish pace and Thomas was able to truly display how much his stand-up game has advanced when he picked Clementi apart. After a few heavy shots, Thomas moved to take Clementi’s back, where he secured a rear naked choke, forcing the submission and getting the win. Din Thomas is just another very dangerous opponent in an already stacked UFC lightweight division, but he made no bones about who he wants next when he called out UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk, saying that Sherk had his title.
