Royce dominated the Tokoro fight, it was a draw because he had the same "win only by submission or knockout" rule that was in place in the Yoshida fight. Royce doesn't want a decision loss on his record, so he asks for that rule. It will be interesting to see what the rules are in the Hughes fight.

Assuming it's standard UFC rules, I think this is a tough fight for Royce to win. Hughes has been vulnerable to submissions (Charuto should have tapped him, and Hallman did twice, also Newton was very close), but all those guys are slicker than Royce on the ground. Royce's strength is his ground defense not his submissions.

I'm excited to see it. Should be a good fight, although I'd rather see BJ smoke Hughes again.
