Re: Royce Gracie vs Matt Hughes in May

Inthacup,
Thus my point, Royce cannot simply pull guard and win a decision as another poster alleged. That is nonsensical.

I thought I covered this. Of course Royce can't just pull guard and win. I'm quite sure I said Royce has to be working hard while on the ground or else 1) they'll get stood up (what Hughes probably wants) or 2) Hughes can GNP (also what Hughes wants). Royce has to be active on the ground or else it's Hughes' fight. IF Royce attacks Hughes on the ground then Matt will have to play defense and won't be able to GNP.
Hughes would do well to just stay standing. Royce is a tough bastard (evidenced by the Saku fight), but you just need to keep chopping away and not fight on his terms.
I guess the real questions are will there be rounds and will there be any judges' decisions?
