To me Matt Hughes has nothing to gain by taking this fight and everything to lose. I say that b/c if he wins then he beat and old man but if he loses he got beat by an old man. Granted Gracie is a legend in this sport but i just don't see what Hughes has to gain.
To me i see this like someone beating the snot out of Ken Shamrock right now. If you win great you beat up a guy who is old as the hills but if you lose where does your carear go after that?
If Gracie and Hughes could fight while both in there primes this would be a great fight but I'm just cant get excited for this fight.
Does anyone else see this fight this way? Or is there something I'm missing?
i hear ya stuff, but royce gracie received his legendary status for a reason. he has continued to compete, and whether or not he has lost a little do to his age, hes still a bad dude. consider it a pro boxing comeback. they usually all come back, some do well.....some dont.
as far as gracie winning, it just again proves that he is the man. if hughes won, he beat a legend and is seemingly at the top of his game. i think youre kinda looking at it in a half empty kinda way.
do i really wanna see this fight?....i guess..
will i watch it?......yup....
who do i want to win?.....you know me...i think you can answer that yourself
