I knew Hughes was going to win when they announced the fight. Royce is just too old, and hasn't evolved as other MMAers have.

However, I was scared for Matt when he decided to take it to the ground. I figured since Royce is the shit as submissions, Matt would want to keep it standing. I was proved wrong.

As I knew Matt was going to win, I was cheering for him as well. I was amazed at his dominance on the ground against a great Jiu Jitsu artist such as Royce. Once he got his back I knew it was over.

When they introduced Royce, they said his record was 11-0. I was a bit mad that they didn't include his loss to Sakuraba in Pride.
