LMAO off @ all you dumbasses.
First off DCK my dad got me into watching the UFC many, many years ago. I've seen EVERY ufc ever made, from #1 all the way to 56. So don't go crying about this new wave of mma fans who don't know shit, cause I'm right there with you buddy. Anyone who thinks Forest Griffin for example is going to beat Tito Ortiz is a fucking moron. Kind of like somebody who thinks Royce Gracie is going to beat Matt Hughes simply because they practice bjj themselves and feel a camaraderie with him. Maybe even met him! And Definitely want to have his baby. You need a reality check buddy. Pull your lips off Royces nut sack long enough to listen:
Royce was never that good to begin with. There, I said it. Let me explain. When he came to the UFC and wiped the floor with everyone he was the shit, yes, but it was because MMA was a new sport. NOBODY had any ground skills! As far as Americans were concerned fighting was stand up sport. And the few wrestlers who did compete lacked any sort of submission knowledge. And that my friend is why Royce was able to dominate, because of everyones lack of knowledge. Today MMA is totally different. Everyone is cross trained. We have WORLD class athletes. Royce is great, and his bjj is wonderful, but when was the last time he fought in the UFC? How many years? How many wins did he get in Pride? Oh, right, Yoshida "cheated." Royce can go take his "special rules" and shove it up his ass. He might be a legend, but he's not special, he has to play within the boundaries that everyone else does. Let me ask you, just how good is Royce without his gi? Somebody needs to tell him to start practicing his no gi bjj cause that shit doesn't fly here. This is MMA not Bjj.
If Hughes is smart he'll keep the fight standing, cause there's no way in fuck Royce is going to beable to take him down. Last time I checked Royce's stand up skills rival my Aunt Salley's so it is a solid game plan.
Royce is a legend, and he revolutionized the sport, but people have surpassed him with their OVERALL game. His age doesn't exactly help either.
