GRACIE vs HUGHES who will win?

Cool. That's good. The guy I knew trained there a few years ago, so I guess things have changed. Thanks for posting that.:dankk2:

Quit typing HOYCE!!!! That is not his name. All the R's are pronounced as an H.

Renzo Gracie = Henzo Gracie
Ralph Gracie = Halph Gracie
Rickson Gracie = Hickson Gracie
Ryan Gracie = Hyan Gracie
Royler Gracie = Hoyler Gracie
Rocy Gracie = HOYCE GRACIE

Sorry buddy! Didn't mean to get your panties in a bunch! I typed that the radio SAID Hoyce to let people know where the discrepancy was between the H sound and the R spelling. I didn't type that his name IS Hoyce. I then went on to type that the R sounds like an H. I acknowledged that I misspelled his name in a previous post and that his name is Royce.

And this is kinda funny but you misspelled Royce above and typed Rocy:)
 
no problem - looks like the ownership changed hands and the new guy (Dana White) is all about getting UFC more professionally accepted...

Yeah, I'm glad they're cleaning it up. When the guy I know was out there, he was on a steady dose of human growth hormone shipped in from Mexico (and who knows what else).:(

Hughes Wins and Leaves No Doubts with Stoppage of Gracie
By Thomas Gerbasi

LOS ANGELES, May 27 – The party line before the UFC 60 main event between Matt Hughes and Royce Gracie was that the sport of mixed martial arts had passed the Brazilian legend by and that he couldn’t compete with the new breed of mixed martial artist. Yet while Hughes was dominant in a first round stoppage victory before a packed house at STAPLES Center, there is no doubting the toughness of Gracie, who not only made his return to the Octagon for the first time in over ten years, he did it against the premier welterweight in the game.

And you’ve got to respect him for that.

But the night truly belonged to Hughes, who may not have had his UFC welterweight crown on the line, but who fought as if it was his last bout as he dominated from start to finish against the jiu-jitsu ace from Rio De Janeiro.

With father Helio, the founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, directly behind him, Gracie made his way into the Octagon for the first time since 1995 to a rousing ovation from the assembled crowd. Conversely – and surprisingly – Hughes’ entrance was met with boos scattered among the cheers. But the crowd wasn’t going to decide this one – the UFC’s first superstar and a modern day one were going to, and there was a thick tension in the air before the opening bell.

Gracie opened the fight with a couple of range-finding kicks. Hughes answered with an overhand left that briefly jarred the Brazilian. Gracie quickly regained his bearings though and kept kicking at Hughes, who drove him into the fence. With 3:45 left in the round, the fight went to the mat, with the crowd erupting as Gracie looked for a submission. Hughes kept his cool though and worked his strikes from the top position, eventually locking up Gracie’s left arm. After some tense moments, Gracie escaped, but soon Hughes got his back and opened up with elbows and strikes. Seconds later, after a series of unanswered blows to the head, referee John McCarthy had no choice but to halt the bout at 4:39 of the frame.

And then the boos turned to cheers for Hughes, and rightfully so.

In attendance tonight, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, James Caan, Kazushi Sakuraba, Gary Goodridge, Paris Hilton, Nicholas Cage, David Spade, Everlast, Paul Walker, and Marlon Wayans

Dana isn't the owner, just the president. I was in their offices when I was out there for NAB meeting with them on the upcoming broadcast package. Dana's pretty hardcore though.
 
ALRIGHT TERRY THANKS for the scoop, ok you dogs of war! i missed a good fight card! i was hoping for the old timer for reasons i don't know! and yes i do agree with Horse i did like it when it was styles vs styles. BUT HUGHES is a well rounded fighter. Guys who gives a f@#$ r or h you guys sound like a bunch of bickering bettys, i trained at Rickson's Gracie and now i train at Renato Magno's school, they don't give a hoot how you pronounce their names. anyways i just got home and i had a couple glasses of wine, you guy's are like my lil bro's i never had, so i'm yelling at ya! hey i did get to see fri. nite submission grappling no gi abudabi style man it was a good show! my old teacher Gene Lebell was there with Gokor another old friend, Boom Boom Ray Mancini, Rikki Rocket, Ed Neil,Ted Danson, Randy Couture, Chuck Lidell, the Machado brothers, my teacher and good friend Renato, now this show was strategic grappling, man i learned a lot, best intelligent crowd i've seen in years.
 
Kimko is my new hero. I think MMA was my second calling in life. I watched all the fights except for Gacie/Hughes. I had to leave to go help with some foley for hero-fest.
