Matt Hughes and GSP i dont see any knock out since both of them dont hit hard, and i dont see a submission because they are training crazy and are both well versed on the ground. I think it will go to decision for GSP just because Matt Hughes is a dickwad lol jk, GSP is more aggressive than Matt but Matt is stronger.\n\nGSP decision\n\nif u think Matt is gonna win, its fine with me because these fighters are very similiar. Dont tell me GSP is a striker because he is totally amatuer. The guy is complete cardio and muscle just like hughes. But whatever i give GSP the decision and i think it might possibly be a split one too, hard to call split decision but i think it might be. Ur saying that hughes hasnt fought anyone hard? BJ Penn? kidding me? my favorite fighter. he only beat BJ because he BROKE HIS RIBS IF HE DIDNT HE WOULDA LOST. u cant breathe or stand up that well with broken ribs.\n\nOk Tim vs the snowman. If u think this fight will be knock out for the snowman, ur closeminded because that guy is a crazy man, just because ur 5"9 doesnt mean ur gonna loose. AND I SEE A UPSET!!!! UR ARE IN FOR A SURPRISE.\n\nJeff Monson by submission kimura 2r maybe lol.\n\nYEs i see both champs going down. Monson is the strongest heavyweight, and he is 2-0-1 for proffesional boxing, and a grappling champion.\n\nWho has Tim fought that u think is hard? Andrei? that was his hardest fight and Andrei would get butt raiped by Monson.\n\nIf u want to place any bets i would be happy to say that team miletich is going DOWN!!!!\n\nTHESE FIGHTS ARE NOT JOKES AND MONSON WILL BE A UPSET. MY BET IS ON MONSON!!!\n\nYES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TIM SYLVIA GO TO PRIDE!! GREAT IDEA!!! HE WOULD GET OWNED BY ALMOST ANY HEAVYWEIGHT THERE! HERES A GOOD LIST FOR U\n\n1.FEDOR\n2.MIRKO\n3.JOSH\n4..ANTONIO\n5.ALEXSANDER\n6.SERGEI\n7.PAWEL NASTULA\n8.MARK HUNT\n9.HIDEHIKO \n10.MARK COLEMAN\nTIM SYLVIA WOULD GET OWNED I WOULD BE HAPPY TO BET AGAINST TIM ON 8 OF THOSE PEOPLE LOL THERE IS 10 ANYWAYS.\n\nGSP BY DECISION MAYBE SPLIT\n\nMONSON BY SUBMISSION 2R MAYBE BY KIMURA OR PUNCHES.\n\nHF UPSETS IN THIS UFC ALL AROUND!!!

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.

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.

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.

Tim Sylvia won by decision - went 5 rounds - he kept the championship belt.  Jeff Monson's eyes were both swollen shut.\n\nMatt Hughes went 1 1/2 minutes into the 2nd round and lost.  He got beat pretty bad - GSP had him in the ground and pound.  GSP now is the new champ.\n\nFrank Mir also lost (this was his first fight since his motorcycle accident).  He was done 1 minute into the first round, he never had a chance.

This will be a very good match up. I like Gracie better than Hughes. Gracie will capitalize on any careless mistakes that Hughes make. But if Hughes lets go of his ego, go in and work his standup and wait for the right moment to make his move, it could be a good night for him. But all favoritism laid aside, I think Matt Hughes will win because he is more well rounded and has a bigger arsenal to work with. Gracie grapples but is not a proven striker.

hughes will dominate..he has jeremy horn helping him..and horn is one of the best at utilizing his jui-jitsu..and there is a reason why matt hughes is the best welterweight ever..and plus..graice has never fought somebodylike hughes..i dont even think he has fought a full fleged mixed martial artist

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.

hughes b/c gracie's gotta be in his 40's...\n\nit only takes one shot and hughes hits like a heavyweight!

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.

Way to Early for a rematch either man can KTFO of the other i think a rematch with Ricco Rodriguez or Frank Mir would have been a better match-up for these guys maybe even a match with Tank Abbott would be fun to watch and a easy match for either opponent. Why Pedro Rizzo hasn't had a shot at the gold is hard to understand he is a counter fighter which would be a good fight with either of these guys who love to push the pace. I don't think it was luck that Tim KO Andrei he has 260 pounds behind those gloves and loves to throw them. All that aside come UFC 61 i think Andrei will take the fight to the ground and try to submit Tim quickly but Pat and Jeremy Horn will be working him over on that every day cant wait what a fight hope it ends in a KO.

Two rough, tough and gutsy fighters. Great match up buddy! Both fighters have been through the wars and fought the best fighters in their weight class and of their generation. Jones defeated the likes of Emile Griffith, Ray Robinson. Tiger beat the likes of Fullmer, Griffith and Jose Torres. I see this fight being a mix of tactics at times in the fight and toe to toe slugging. Both guys weren't known for knockout power. Therefore I see this one going the distance with Tiger winning by a close but unanimous decision.

I'd like to see the fight. The last fight between them that I saw was shamrock slipping and Ortiz taking the opportunity. \n\nHoping shamrock doesnt go for that kick to the head again then it should be a good fight. \n\nI'd put my money on Ortiz and root for Shamrock. If that makes sense.

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.

I'm rooting for Ibragimov. After three rounds, most of Brock's punches have been to the back, and I haven't seen him land many clean shots. Ibragimov looks pretty good with that double jab.\n\n**edit**\nWell, a decision for Brock, but I'm not very impressed. I was disappointed that Ibragimov didn't keep his jab up, but Brock was still landing so many rabbit punches throughout the fight. It was hard to watch at times.

GSP owned Hughes from the start. 1st round, Hughes was saved from being knocked out by the bell. 2nd round, GSP faked him out and gave him kick to the head that dropped him and rocked him with punches for the knock out. Hughes was helpless.
