Hughes has been champion for some time now. He's no new guy.
Hughes had Royce's arm in a straight armbar from mount. I've trained with 4 Gracies, they all have the ablity to hyperextend, I'm guessing it's from starting grappling before they can walk. Royce was cool and calm because he's been fighting all his life.
I have yet to see a fight where Royce isn't cool and calm.
Royce is 38, Hughes is 32. I've seen larger age differences in fighters. Randy Couture was UFC Light Heavyweight Champion at 41.
