If Royce could weather the storm and wait for Tank to gas he would win by submission. It's a dangerous game with Tank though.
Agree but that is a huge IF.
Royce did a pretty good job of avoiding big hits throughout his career. The one that stands out is vs Kimo, a big strong hw and Royce weathered the storm and eventually got a sub, so it's possible.
Tank always found a way to lose to the top guys. Even if he gave them hell. I think I'd heavily favor Royce. Say what you want about Royce but he was tough as hell. Also Tank wasn't smart enough to sprawl n brawl. Hed come in guns blazing and end up in guard in the first minute.
Royce would pretend getting hurt by punches and pull guard. From there it is weathering the storm and getting a sub. A smart Tank should not follow Royce to the ground, but I doubt that would happen. Gracie isn't taking him down unless Abbott is gassed.
