Matt Hughes will win the fight.  I think the age is going to be a factor.  I think it will end with a referee stoppage.

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.

No it didn't.  Hughs beat Gracie and it was convincing.

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.

Hughes will win in the second round by KO. The first half of the first round Gracie will be trying to take Hughes down while avoiding getting rocked by a hook to the head. The match will eventually be taken to the mat where Gracie will be trying to submit Hughes but will realize that Hughes can grapple and is a strong SOB. The second round Hughes will rock Gracie early and take it to the mat where he will pound Gracie unmercifully to prove his point...Hughes is dominant and Gracie is old and past his prime. \n\nGracie may have helped change the UFC to a more technical competition but he needs to realize that when he first started he was only facing  brawlers who didn't know how to grapple/wrestle or jujitsu. Hughes can grapple, has some jujitsu training and is strong.

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.

I won with Hughes! Everyone was so confident that Gracie's comeback was going to be spectacular, but 11 years out of the octagon were too much. The game has changed since UFC 1 and 2.

HUGHES WON Not Gracie!!!!\n\nAfter a brief clinch against the cage, Hughes scores a takedown directy into side control. Hughes looking for a Kimura. Gracie's arm is being bet back horribly. Royce escapes but Hughes gets on his back with both hooks in. The wrestler then pounds away at Royce's head until referee "Big" John McCarthy stops the bout at 4:39 of the first round. Complete domination by the champion

Matt Hughes first won the belt against Carlos Newton in a very weired fashion with Matt Hughes in a triangle hold and had Newton lifted up on top of the cage when Matt passed out and dropped Newton on his head Knocking him out hard to explain really but Matt beat him in a rematch in UFC 38

Gracie is already a legend and will continue to be but I don't think that its going to be his night.  Hughes has some serious fitness going and is strong in all aspects of the game.  I think it'll be a referee's stoppage from ground and pound.  Gracie's a tough guy, I don't want to say otherwise but Hughes is going to dish out some major punishment.

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.

Hughes won by referee stoppage. Had the back mounted, flattened out and was pounding Gracie's head.

The other guy(George St. Pierre) would Matt Hughes. You better know his name next time cause he's going to rule MMA for a long time.

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.
