Monday 29th May 2006 at 10:20 Oh dear. I didn't think it would be that bad. Although it was a good fight in someways, that dominance on the ground had to be embarrasing. Anyone want to argue about that fight? |

Monday 29th May 2006 at 18:14 As much as I admire Royce, he never had a significant chance against someone as good as Matt Hughes, and I'm not sure why he thought he did. I hope he fights in the UFC again, but he should be more realistic. |

Monday 29th May 2006 at 18:49 true...Hughes was just so dominant it makes me wonder if st. Pierre can actually pull of a victory. I think Royce's biggest mistake was to try and pull guard in such a strange way...thats how matt got side control. Chuck Norris doesn't sleep. He |

Monday 29th May 2006 at 19:40 True, i was a bit surprised to see Royce dominated so much on the ground and not able to get out of side-control. The Admin Guy |

Monday 29th May 2006 at 20:21 It looked very strange. There was little hip escape, he didn't seem to try to get his knee inside to get back to guard, he didn't even stop Hughes escaping half guard, twice! |

Tuesday 30th May 2006 at 19:46 It was awkward on the feet, but it wasnt a horrible fight in terms of action...more of a dominant or "one sided" fight than anything else. Chuck Norris doesn't sleep. He |

Thursday 1st June 2006 at 01:26 Yes it was if you were hoping Royce could pull one off...but he just got dominated, he seemed way too lathargic to me. Btw...there is a very buzzy rumor going around now that Rickson will fight Sakuraba finally! Who knows what? Chuck Norris doesn't sleep. He |
