I'd like Royce to win, but the smart money's on Hughes. Royce's game in back in the day was basically to take the guy down, wait till he did something dumb, then capitalize on it and get a submission. Under today's rules, the ref would stand you up again. I don't know if Hughes can hang with Royce in pure jujitsu, but I think he's got the tools to block Royce's shot and keep it from getting there. And I'm not sure if you _can_ submit Hughes. In one fight, I saw him get choked purple, then stand up, pick his opponent up, run across the ring with him, and slam him. That ain't human.

I agree.. Matt Hughes is an alien. I think I saw the fight you're talking about. I will NOT miss this fight.
