NortonFan 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Royce Gracie and Matt Hughes are going to be fighting in the UFC in 2006. Two of the best fighters to ever fight in the UFC. Link to post Share on other sites
Golden 2 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I was hoping this would be about the UFC. Was this announced on Fight Night? I didn't have the chance to see it. And when? Link to post Share on other sites
NortonFan 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Yes it was and they didnt annouce a specific date only that it would be in 2006. Link to post Share on other sites
TheRake_MD23 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 wow classic grappling match-up here...Being a former wrestler myself I have to go with the Country Boy.Speaking of UFC whatever happened to the hawaiian guy, forget his name, that choked out Hughes?

Golden 2 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 It will be an unbelievable fight - although that may have been a slightly overhyped announcement.I am currently without cable - any chance of a few results? Link to post Share on other sites

LAS22 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 This fight is going to be very nice. The UFC in 2006 is going to be unreal. How about Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz, that should be a good fight as well.It was nice to see that Texas Dolly scored ringside seats for the live event. Link to post Share on other sites
theredpill99 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Awesome, you guys are watching UFC, too? I love UFC. It makes Football look like a joke. I'm surprised people still watch boxing these days when you can watch the real thing. Boxing is a joke compared to UFC. Link to post Share on other sites

theredpill99 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I hate Matt Hughes. I also hate Chuck Liddell. I can't wait to see these guys get their ass kicked. Link to post Share on other sites
Socko669 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hughes will slam Royce so hard the entire country of Brazil will get knocked out. Link to post Share on other sites
Dixie Wrecked 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Royce Gracie is a frickin badass. He will armbar Hughes by the end of the first round Link to post Share on other sites
THE_ANDYAA 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Royce Gracie is a frickin badass. Â He will armbar Hughes by the end of the first roundHughes is going to beat the shit out of Royce. Royce, while a great grappler, has not evolved his game (at least the last times we saw him). Being mounted is no longer an undefendable position, and fighters today are incredibly well rounded, Hughes being perhaps one of the most well rounded. My friend described it best, while it's going to be a great "novelty fight" there is really only one choice to win this thing. Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ever check out Pride?Not as good but it passes time very well.dude, pride is light years better then UFC, don't know what u've been watchinganyway. Hughes will win as the current climate of UFC doesn't play into Royce's game at all. Royce has always been about having very long fights and using his techniques to beat the opponent, well, here we have 5 minute rounds and we also have judges that only look at each round as a seperate entity as opposed to the pride style where they look at the whole fight and who was trying to finish more. Royce WILL NOT get pwned as many believe. He is still in great shape and has adapted to the modern MMA style much better then most think. It was his own insistence of not having judges that screwed him out of a win against Yoshida(who would beat the hell out of hughes).really though, this is just a way for UFC to get a big buy-rate and not fully saturate the Vegas market because they are running almost 5 or 6 straight shows in Vegas Link to post Share on other sites
THE_ANDYAA 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ever check out Pride?Not as good but it passes time very well.The talent at Pride is much better than at UFC. Pride Heavyweights=goodWith the exception of Arlovski, UFC Heavyweights=mostly dumb and slow Link to post Share on other sites
theredpill99 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I agree, Pride is unbelievable . Only Pride I can see is that show on FSN but it seems more like an infomercial for their pay-per-view shows than a real show. I could download the videos off of emule, though but I always hate waiting for 2 days to see them. Vanderlei Silva is a monster. That guy seriously scares me. There are some real beats on Pride. I've seen some guys get hit in the many many times but they just wouldn't go down. Ken Shamrock fought some guy and he beat the hell out of him with numerous upper cuts but the guy just wouldn't fall. He eventually had to just throw in the towel because he was tired or something.
