I'm imagining that you are asking this question for the ignorant people out there who think that Gracie won the fight. Well unfortunately, I am not one of them so I will watch the answer sequence and see if one of these people happen to pop up and give some ludicrous answer. I love Royce but he lost. We need to move on.

Royce too old???? I have trained with Royce, and even Helio who is in his 70"s and could still beat the average guy on the street...Royce is in great condition and by BJJ technique he does not have to stay active..it takes patience and energy conservation. Hughes is a wrestler..they have bad habits..he will do everything to keep Royce from putting him on his back..which means he will give his back...choke...Hughes does not pass the guard very well...it won't be that exciting of a match..all technique...Just like Royce vs. Ken Shamrock...Hughes will do the same ground and pound crap Ken did, but Royce will protect himself ..bleed a little bit..and tap Hughes out...\nwin by submission....

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 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.

royce gracie knows he will have to work faster with the new rules so im sure he is training hard for the new rules. he is a master at what he does and he will adapt to the fighting conditions. gracie by arm bar.

Gracie...i believe he can tie up Hughes and get him in a submission.  If you have ever seen some of Gracies fights, he managed to prevent big time ground and pounders (Ken Shamrock) from hitting him.

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.

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.

Gracie is done.  He's too old and he's not strong enough.  Brazilian Jiu Jitzu is the best single style to know but today you need to be versed in many styles to win in the UFC.  I imagine that if Gracie would return he would most likely lose many of his fights and he would embarrass himself and his family.  He should have never fought this fight and he should "gracefully" retire.

Taro7 "wrote"\n\n\nIf it goes to the ground, more likely "Gracie" \n\n___________\n\n\ndepends on who is on his back .. matt hughes is argueably the best ground n pound guy out there .. gracie hasnt been in the octagon in a while .. \n\nHughes for sures .. gracie doesnt have the age to defend the belt even if he does win .

My favourite martial artists at thee moment are Matt Hughes and Royce Gracie and to have them fight each other on the 27th of may at UFC 60 is a dream come true. I live in Australia and i am going to watch the fight live in California and i cant wait.

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.

Oh that would be me.  Although work has crippled me to the point that I have not watched TV for over two weeks.  All I can say is the Ice Man rules.  I love UFC.  I really have to make some time and watch spike.  Oh and Matt Hugh is my favorite to beat Royce Gracie.  Matt is a good fighter.
