hughes had to learn jiu jitsu to be the beast he is today in the ufc,hughes was just a great wrestler and that was it,dennis hallman choked him out twice with his jiu jitsu skills and exposed mat.hughes worked very hard under jeremy horn and pat militich to sharpen his jiu jitsu skills so he wouldnt get caught in those jiu jitsu moves again,even though royce lost he still comes out a winner in the sense that mat had to learn jiu jitsu to be the champ he is in the octagon.mat is a great champ and i congradulate him on his impressive win last night,also i thank royce gracie for being the great pioneer he was and showing the world that you need to know ground techniques to be effective in mma,we all know that striking is just as important these days and you got to be well rounded or it just wont cut it,thanks for reading
