I am interested in opinions on the Hughes /Gracie fight. Hughes has stated that he plans to keep the fight standing to take away Gracie’s submission aresenal. While I think Hughes has the tools to win this fight I question this strategy. Gracie is not without striking skills , and he has a tremendous reach advantage. While Hughes may not have the strength Shamrock did in the second Gracie/Shamrock fight he might be better served by keeping Gracie on his back the way Shamrock did. Working within the guard is not the mystery it once was.
gracie imo is the best ground fighter of all time, hughes wont be able to keep of the floor, only thing that might hamper royce is the rules grrrrr
If it was no rounds and no time limit ala vintage UFC then royce would seriously own Hughes. As it is not this i see Hughes getting a decision.
yaya true ufc no rules no rounds
gracie owns jus bout anyone
Is it true that shamrock never used kicks against gracie coz it was against gracies style or something?
Don’t think so he would do that. ???
prob ment gracie would catch this kick or sumfin
i think gracies to old now and Matt is ganna outwork him. but i could be wrong though. 8)
whats the date of da fight?
I say Gracie will win the fight.
