I mean "bet your whole paycheck" sure that he will win vs. Matt "The Paper Champ" Hughes?
I like Royce, and I hope to see him RNC Hughes for the win, but I see this ending with Hughes' hand in the air after referee stoppage.
I will be rooting for Royce , I have no idea who wins it . Its a coin flip .
Ill say this Royce by sub or Matt by split decision
i would LOVE to see Royce win....but, Hughes in a blowout
Royce by triangle near the end of the fight.
If it stays on the feet, Matt Hughes
If it goes to the ground.................Matt Hughes
Matt Hughes all the way. The only thing I'm worried about is Dana and Matt having a little gentleman's agreement for Matt not to rough up Royce too much.
A game royce is going to be able to at least lose by decision. Matt won't stop him.
imo royce has a 10% chance to win this
I predict a submission victory for Royce.
Royce had a 20% chance to win this at age 35 or so.
His conditionining really didn't look too impressive against Tokoro, which is ominous. He even had some middle-age love handles going on.
I don't think Matt is going to terrorize Royce on the feet the way he thinks he will - but unless Royce is training with a wrestler on the level of Hughes (and I don't think he is), he's in for a long night.
Stupid fight. Why can't these guys just rest on their laurels instead of coming back and tarnishing their record.
Hughes wins by what the hell was royce thinking.
Gonna be a good fight and I have to go with my boy Royce!
Matt has a way better chance of winning, however in the past two people he's had a lot of with difficulty both happened to be excellent at BJJ (penn and verissimo) - so i can see Royce giving Matt a lot of trouble with submission attempts and theres always a chance that Hughes gets caught - if not then Hughes will probably win via decision or TKO via GnP. I bet Hughes attempts a kimura like he did with riggs.
