Damn, Gracie got his ass handed to him.  He didn't stand a chance.

Matt proved he is the most dominate fighter, period, I  knew he would win, but did not think he would dominate that much

He looked dominant but Gracie also looked a little old, weak and unsure.

You'd be if your dad was watching.  "No pressure, son.  BTW, you're upholding our family legacy in the US.  No pressure." ;D

Seriously, I didn't expect Hughes to be as dominant or agressive as he was.

Now there's a good observation; a lot of people talk shit, but he stepped out there w/ nothing left to prove.  I do hate that this may tarnish his legacy some.

Just remember that if the Gracies hadn't stepped out and shown people the importance of grappling/submission skills:


Hughes would be coaching wrestling,
Franklin would be teaching math,
Liddell would be boxing...for peanuts,
Arlovski would be sitting in a apartment in Minsk wondering if he'd have hot water someday,
and Dana White would have a combover :)

those early UFC's he won were loaded with guys who had no idea what to do on the ground

I think that the Gracie's brought a lot to the sport, probably more then any other team/family/fighter has, but when they dominated they were against a totally different breed of fighters.

That was the whole point of the UFC in the beginning: to expose the deficiencies of many popular styles, and to show that grappling was an integral, but overlooked, part of fighting.

The Gracies proved their point beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Today, the UFC is no longer about style against style, but fighter against fighter.

that's the point; the gracies exposed the basic weakness w/ most martial arts.  Over time, I think you'll see more and more guys who aren't one style that has adapted other techniques, but guys who have trained from day 1 as fully rounded MMA fighters...

  No, Hughes is 26 and Royce is 39. Big difference!
