How precisely is Royce going to win a decision if he pulls guard and lies on his back?

[/ QUOTE ]
...and stays busy. Of course he can't just lie there and take shots. But his standup skills are bad so he can't win the fight standing. He HAS to go to the ground.

Hughes would simply GNP like always and take the decision unless he gets submitted.

[/ QUOTE ]
This is why Royce has to stay busy. He has to keep Matt on defense to avoid the GNP.

[ QUOTE ]
No way this stays standing.

[/ QUOTE ]
Probably not. But that is what Hughes should strive to accomplish. He wins standing. He probably loses on the ground.

The gi would probably help Royce.

Maybe. If it goes a while, it'll mop up the sweat.
