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

Did you see the fight between Hughes and Charuto? Most of the fight was with Hughes in Charuto's guard and Hughes did very little GNP. IMO, that fight is an excellent example of the difficulties Hughes will face with Gracie on the ground. Hughes won the fight against Charuto by unanimous decision, but Hughes definitly didn't dominate.

OTOH, Hughes' submissions seems to be improving. It will definitely make for an interesting fight.
