Hughes/gracie....It ends in the first round

Just goes to show that there will always be someone better than you out there.

Not meaning to sound like a broken record, but I'm gonna have to agree with this line of thinking.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu did not get beat.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu did not get beat.
ROYCE got beat. That is all.

Frank, you are so right, but the thing that never sat well with me about the Gracies was their insistance that Royce won those 11 fights cause their style was the best (not because he was fighting a yahoo with one boxing glove on...). We all know that it's the fighter, not the system, but that wasn't what they were selling - they were selling the ultimate fighting style - the unbeatable one. For that reason alone, I am glad of the outcone of this fight. It brings reality to light. Huges is the better fighter, and no amount of Gracie jiu jitsu would have helped Royce that night. He was compeltely dominated in all aspects by Matt. Matt was bigger, stronger, tougher, faster, and more skilled.
