With Hughes in the dominating position on his back in full control there was no way of escaping. Side control is open for debate. But I am sure if Royce could have over powered him or had the opportunity to escape he would have taken it. It probablly just comes down to power again. If you are suggesting this is a worked MMA fight you are mistaken. One thing that has been proven over and over is that Matt Hughes is one of the most powerful guys in MMA.

I believe that the game has evolved. However to see Royce not even attempt an escape. Do you get what I am saying? I have fought 16 fights and I have never been dominated in a such a fashion that I at least did not TRY!!! to escape. I think it just looked very fishy! I appreciate your comments John.

Not to take anything from his accomplishments, he is undoubtedly a legend, but the fact is a top level UFC fighter today has far more capabilities than one from 10 years ago. Put Royce in with most of these guys and it would be the same result. You can come up with as many excuses as you like but the game has evolved beyond him, period.

Here's a guy that has been doing Jiu-jitsu for over 30 yrs. To even assume Hughes would know a tenth of what Royce knows would be an insult. Royce must know at least 10 escapes from the side mount and ten from the rear mount yet he tried..........NONE????? Something stinks in the state of the UFC!

With all those old fans coming back for Royce added to the new TUF generation fans it should out do Randy Chuck 3 (400,000 buys I think). It was certainly a great show all round so I wouldn't be suprised if many stick around for UFC 61. Yeh it’s definately going to be interesting to see the buy rate this show gets.

I think these are the same people who watched UFC at its inception, saw Royce kick ass, and then hadn't watched UFC until last weekend. As sad as I was to see Royce get pummelled, I'm guessing that the event brought a lot of old UFC fans (casual fans) back to see what's been going in on the past 5-6 years. It's an exciting time for MMA, and I get the feeling that things are about to blow up. Lightweight titles are probably coming up very soon :) I got a lot of comments on my blog from people who think (thought) that Royce was unbeatable.

I agree - was a great show! I really dont know how Gracie avoided submitting to that arm bar - that looked nasty!!
