Thread: Hughes/Gracie Special on Spike

Anyone catch it last night?

I couldn't believe what a horrendous striker Gracis is. He'd better get this one to the mat or he's dead.

I missed it last night. I got home just in time to watch TUF3. Was it a pretty good show. I really think Matt gonna win that fight, Gracie just to old I think now. A few years ago I would have though Gracie would win hands down. I guess we'll see soon right.

old? he's not even 40 yet....Randy Couture won the title at 41..Gracie will beat Hughes....mark my words....Gracie is the UFC..

Question for the masses: if Gracie is still so bad-ass, why are they having him face a welterweight? Why not Chuck Liddel or Rich Franklin? And does anyone think he can still fight with the heavyweights, or are today's heavyweights that much better than the heavyweights of yesteryear that Gracie couldn't survive them?

lol if Gracie really was a confident mixed martial artists he'd be in Pride where the best competition is

But the Gracie Academys that are all over the US have made them millions upon millions, so we know the Gracies are about money. Wouldn't doubt if this is just a cash fight/one last hurrah for Royce. Now if he wins and doesn't challenge Chuck Liddell or some other dangerous striker, then we'll know somethings not right.

Don't want to sound like a biased Gracie hater though, I wouldn't wanna fight the old fucker
Just my opinion!

Same could be said of Matt Hughes or Chuck Liddel, I don't recall Chuck wanting to go back to Pride and fight Rampage again

I think Hughes is about the only UFC guy who could make the successful transition to pride. Then Arlovski. I also think St. Pierre will eventually take down Hughes.

He was in pride

Yes he was, and while he was there what did Kazushi Sakuraba do to him

beat him

Gracie broke his foot

After an hour and half, nonetheless

ok ive only started getting into UFC lately.
People say Pride is better but who would win between wanderlei silva and matt hughes

Silva, easily. IMO.

silva would be feeding him knees and elbows all night
