Gracie lost, Hughes had him on his back on the ground, Had his legs locked so gracie could no get up and started to pound on his head then the ref stoped it. Props to Gracie i thought for sure he was going to tap [patriot]

I was pissed that Riggs went out like that!!!! I mean I know it happend without his control but damn he is MORE than that!!! Oh and I have to say that Hughes is the SHIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hoyce brought alot to this sport but seriously Matt showed him where it has gone since 93'!!! Can't wait to see Shamrock and Ortiz gettin it on again!!!!!

tito is still goning to put a hurtin on him. When is that happening

I seriouly think that it was harder when they first started UFC. Dont get me wrong it is incredibly hard now but, there has been so many rule changes that have really changed the way they fight. Fights 3-4 nights is insane with no Weight class is crazy. Props to HUghes and Gracie, Great Fight [patriot]

Wow hughs won?
I was watching some Gracie fights and that guy knows his holds. I am surprised he didn't get him in one.

did marvin win his fight?
 
Posted by Jmir018 (Member # 1414) on :
 
Marvin won. he knocked the Fck out of the other guy with one solid punch. he's quick. he'll be pretty bad ass on the 155lbs class.

Diego Sanches also won by decision.

It was sad to see Royce lose. i mean, i knew it would happen but i was hoping he would pull the unexpected. atleast he didn't tap out when matt had his arm trapped.. he probably dislocated that arm or something.sucks..

I can't believe Gracie just laid down and let Hughes beat him down like that. WTF there went the pride of the Gracie name now. I think his arm was snapped personally, that's why he wasn't defending himself. I had money on Gracie too. Crap!!! Mike "quick" Swift representing San Jo baby!!! Gotta love it. And Finally Marvin's buffed ass knocked someone out. That was a suprise.

Any of you guys going to the MMA thing in Oakland on 6/3?
 
Posted by AaronC (Member # 86) on :
 
Not having the Gi certainly hurt Gracie. I was really surprised how Hughes manhandled him. When Hughes had the Kimura on I thought he was gonna break his arm because Gracie won't tap. I was very surprised when he gave his back and put himself in the vulnerable position. Props to Hughes who is very talented and most definitely brought his A+++ game tonight. Wow is all I can say.

no way a rusty royce with his incomplete fighting style could hang with the total package. u cant compare fighters 10years ago with fighters today that train in all disciplines..royce got his ass spanked and even nearly got submitted at his own game. both fighters really won cuz in the end royce made a ton with this fight by getting paid well over a million.
was it guillotine night or what? that knockout by melvin was insane. if ublinked u wouldve missed it.

check youtube.com for fight clips. search ufc 60. im sure by tonight the fights will be filtered out due to copyright infringement. usually happens a day or so after users upload files.

i really don't think it has much to do with age. He's only 39. that's not THAT OLD. I believed that it is mostly his skills.he's been out of the sport for too long.. the people saying that he's been fighting in japan are not taking into consideration that his fights haven't been against challenging opponents and have been, in reality, very few fights. I love Gracie and his heritage, but he's outdated. nowadays fighters have to be multidimensional and dominate several styles of fighting not just one. Jujitsu alone will not get Gracie far in this newly evolved sport. All someone would have to do is avoid his takes downs and Royce would be out of his game. If you saw his stand up game during the fight it was unconvincing. His kicks were poorly executed and there didn't seem to have much behind them. jab, wasn't all that great. It will take him a long time to get to the level of some of the not so stellar fighters of the UFC.
He should have never taken this fight. I hope the money was worth it and really hope he doesn't fight again unless he really works on the other aspects of his game.

I really don't think it was his lack of all around game that lost him this fight. He was flat out dominated on the ground which is his strength. I think fighting without the gi (robe)really hurt him. He's used to these big strong guys not having much to grab onto or getting a good grip on him. Hughes had a very good grip on him and Gracie made some mistakes and was punished.

Oh well, it's MMA and every fighter has his day. All of them have looked horrible at one time or another. Fedor Emelianenko will get his one day and people will talk. But in my mind how he's gone this long without losing and fighting the guys he has is unreal.

Thanks....All the fights with no commercials....

.....Gracie went out like a chump!....Matt is awesome....I've always like Matt and I was hoping he'd win...I've never liked Royce Gracie becuase he wins his fights on the ground after taking forever and to me there's nothing like a knock out...But, I do have respect for those boring fights, I mean Gracie does win them, but not THIS time...

Are you talking about gracie? He has lost before, just not in the UFC. But just saw the fight, and I think Hughes was just too strong for him.

I was talking about Fedor Emelianenko. He's fought all the top dogs in the world and is yet to lose. But one day he will get his like everyone else. I know Gracie has lost some fights in Pride (Yoshida, Sakuraba that I can think of). Matt was definitely too strong for him but he has fought guys that are stronger than Matt but he had the Gi (robe) on. I really think the gi helps him and without it he's like a fish out of water as he can't neutralize the strength differences. Yoshida, in Pride wears the Gi and is very good at using it and should be a factor in the OWGP.
