Royce, even though I love him, is far from a great BJJ practioner. Is he better than me? Yes of course, but he's not Jacare. He has no Abu Dabi competitions, no big Brazil tournament wins, etc.
When Royce fought in the UFC, sure you had to fight open weight classes and sure you had to fight 4+ times per night but fighters were no were near as rounded back then as they are now.
Matt Hughes is a World class wrestler with a bad ass ground game. Even better ground and pound and he's strong as an ox. Couple that with Gracie's age and need to drop pounds to make weight and it all adds up to an almost sure victory.
Before people jump on me for being a "Gracie Hater", I train at a Gracie Barra club, and I actually love Royce.
