UFC 60: -Hughes vs Gracie- A Real Mans Fight

[BlueTsunami]

Wasn't sure where to put this. Checked the Sports section and no categories that fit. Then checked the Wrestling section and seemed to have a common WWE subject line...so General Discussions it is!

A great fight guys. You've got two very different styles of fighting that has the potential to blow up in either fighters face. One guy could be considered a Striker. The other one that specializes in Submissions. Both very very good at what they do.

Don't let the numbers fool you, Royce Gracie is a freakin force to be reckoned with. He specializes in MMA. Essentially Grappling Techniques. Mainly used to Grapple (or constrain someone) and make them tap out (as seen in wrestling).

Now Hughes. Hes simply put, a monster. Spectacular winning record and has a training regimen of Apollo. Definately the one favored to win this fight.

Gracie has obviously been out of the ring for a long while but he was there from the beginning. When UFC started. Then you've got Hughes who can be considered a young blood (when compared to Gracie). Its gonna be an amazing fight. Also, being out of the Ring doesn't mean stoped progressing FYI :D

Fights this Saturday, 10pm Eastern Time. Gonna have friends over to watch on Pay-Per-View. Oh..and I think Hughes has got this fight but never rule out Gracie. I would actually like Gracie to win but Hughes is a monster.

Oop, oop, redirect time!
I want Gracie to win, but like you said. Hughes, monster. All that stuff.

Gracie all the way...I can't wait till St pierre gets to fight hughes again

Just got back from the bar watching UFC 60. Not a bad show. The three fights AFTER the main event were fucking awesome. Two huge knockouts.

The main event was pretty sweet. Hughes fucking owned. Everyone at my table and like 90% of the bar was rooting for Gracie. I was like wtf. Matt Hughes is a fucking gangsta.

UFC 61 is going to be fucking awesome.... Tito vs Shamrock 2 Arlovski vs Sylvia 3.... DAMN!

Tito is going to own Shamrock. I think Sylvia will win again, although it's going to be a fucking battle. I can't wait.

[Crosman]

UFC is horrible anymore.

Hughe's is a Pussy.

Stick to Pride fighting.

^^My three thoughts.


As for UFC 61.....

Shamrock will make Tito tap, leading to a third match.
Sylvia will KO Andrea again.

The Card has been updated, look's to be a half decent show. Hopefully JoE Stevenson picks's up his game a little bit, He was destroyed last time out.

That armbar that Hughes had on Gracie was sick, and he still did not tap.

UFC 61 - Tito vs Shamrock 2, I vote that Tito will hand Ken his ass again...

Damn, didn't know Royce Gracie was still around. I remember watching him in the first two or three UFC's, he was amazing. Did he win this one?

[WolfmanNCSU]

Nah, he got pounded on the ground until the ref called it over. You can watch the fight here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=oGhYHuFnz0c&search=hughes%20gracie)
