I was sure matt would win but after seeing gracie fight wrestlers much bigged than hughes and was able to hold on for 90 minutes with one of them it seemed strange he gave up his back so easily

Deb, the sport has evolved since Royce did that over 13 years ago.
Matt Hughes is a dominant wrestler, and a Black Belt level in BJJ, which is also known as Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
Back in the early UFC's, no one know how to fight on the ground as well as the Gracies. Thats has changed for some time now.
If it makes you feel better, Matt Hughes used Gracie Jiu Jitsu strategy to beat Royce on the ground.
