Well last night during Ultimate Fight Night 3 on Spike TV Dana 'Freakin' White announced that in May Matt Hughes will defend his title against the man himself Royce Gracie.

I'm interested in your thoughts regarding who you think will win the fight and how you think they'll win.

Personally I'm on the fence. Both are truly incredible fighters and both will definitely be bringing their 'A' game to this, so I think it's going to go to the judges as a coin flip. Either that or one of them gets very lucky early and gets a submission.

What do you all think?

I detest Hughes' attitude. He gives MMA a bad name. I hope Royce destroys him, but, unfortunately, Hughes is prolly going to DESTROY Royce. Hughes is so POWERFUL, and hard to control.

If it works, use it!

If not, throw it out!

Just to be curious, what don't you like about his attitude?

And I agree, he's a freak of nature strength wise. I think Royce will have his hands full.

I'd bet on Hughes, although a Royce upset would be great to watch. I think Hughes will slam him to the mat and pound away. Royce will patiently fight from the bottom but I don't think he'll catch Hughes in anything.

Im of cousre hoping for royce but be realistic...hughes by UD.

The only guys that have beat hughes have done it quickly in the first round...lets face it Thats not Royces stlye..he tends to be the slower/technical..waer your opponet down type guy.

Royce has fought bigger and stronger guys so I dont see hughes knocking him out or submitting him..combine that with the fact that royce isint going to be able to take him down very easily and you have a Hughes GNP to decision..

How could you possibly think Hughes gives MMA a bad name? Hes a world class fighter and world class guy.

About the fight, Im going to be cheering for Royce, but even under the very slim chance that he wins, hes going to be hurt bad.

I dont think Royce is good enough to catch Hughes, but Hughes has shown in the past that hes vulnerable to triangles, which may turn out to be Royce's saving grace.

are we basing this on the Royce we saw more than ten years ago? Isn't it possible that he has gained some skills to make himself more rounded in all that time(especially since he knows he has a fight, and who that fight is against)? I would think he has been aware of Hughes' fighting style and has trained accordingly.
