With the current trend to stand fighters three seconds after they hit the floor. Will the UFC give Royce more time to work for a submission, Huges more time to GnP, or will they keep them standing. Will this be an old school UFC type fight?

i think they will give it more time on the ground. afterall they are both ground fighters.
Swamp I agree with you...this wont be your typical match
3 dude
matts gonna keep it standing anyway
thats where he has the biggest advantage
I just dont understand how he can KEEP it standing....I mean I know guys have good sprawl takedown defense etc...but if you really wana take someone down its going to happen.
Agree...disagree?
max power is exactly correct.
If I were Matt's Trainer, I'd tell him to keep it standing and spend 90% of the time working a mauling standup game.
I love Matt, but I'm rooting for Royce. I got started in MMA and BJJ because of Royce. I've got a pic of my arm around Royce with my wife and new baby daughter. I met his father, his brothers a long time ago and hope he can pull it off.
