In the meantime, St. Pierre finished as a strong #2 in overall points, Frank Trigg is making his last appearance on this list after recently announcing his retirement, and Sean Sherk is also making his last appearance on this list before his upcoming move to the 155-pound division. 1. Matt Hughes - 99 Points (including 9 first-place votes) 2. Georges St. Pierre - 89 Points 3. BJ Penn - 83 Points (including 1 first-place vote) 4. Karo Parisyan - 70 Points 5.

And it's assholes who want to act like it's some big deal to beat an old man. It's like Hughes fighting Helio or something. Gracie was out of shape, and doesn't do roids like Hughes, which by the way, maybe you can obtain a body like that without roids, but there is no way you can retain lean body mass while doing all this super catabolic MMA training. That's why I'm sure most MMA'ers juice. It is an advantage when you go against someone who dosen't.

I find it ridiculous for gracie to even of given hughes his back in the first place.. but to not get out of it?
and ditto to the steroid usage. MMA training eats the shit out of your LBM and if you can preserve it by juicing up that gives an enormous advantage to guys like matt hughes. |

College/Olympic wrestlers go through similar training and get drug tested up the waz00. Provided diet is good, you could easily retain LBM while training. Does that mean they are not juicing, nope. Obviously, based on a couple fighters getting popped, it is happening, but to accuse someone of juicing because he pounded a legend who was poorly prepared is retarded. |

I'm not making excuses for gracie, merely stating the position he was put into is very easy to exit and counter. |

The question is, why didn't he, and if he could not escape, assuming 40 years of BJJ went out the window, then why didn't he at least protect his head?
The answer to this question is either because it was rigged, or because he didn't try or gave up. In which case does not prove shit about Hughes, except that he's about to get owned by GSP or Penn. |

There is a history of his matches if you search for it, and it's not all unknowns. He has gone against much larger guys, and has never been defeated. He is also much stronger than Hoyce and has alot better striking, and even ground skills. |

So are the hooks on either arm to prevent that. I just spent about 20 minutes reversing and replaying that fight and have come to some conclusions: Double under-hooks kept Gracie from getting the recovery to guard. Gracie tried to back door but Hughes prevented the escape with under-arm hooks and then pinned him flat again with back cranks. Each time Gracie tried to arch or back door again he was hooked and pounded on. Hughes rained down head shots both over and under Gracie's arms or dropped elbows like wreaking balls. Gracie was left with trying to protect his head with the his arms out in front of him and Big John was left with nothing but a stopage. Gracie had little chance if any to get out of this after 20 or 30 seconds because he was dazed out. After the stopage he was wobbled while still on his knees. He recovered well after 60 seconds. I'm not trying to argue with anyone here ... it's just that Gracie was plain and simply beat by Hughes. If he was gonna throw this then why get in the game in the first place? He has way to much pride in himself and toooooo much respect for the legacy he and his family have created to throw a fight for a second rate organization like the UFC. There is just no real gain financially for Royce Gracie considering how successful he has been setting up BJJ training facilities across the country. FFS his dad was right there in the seats watching this. No way in hell he would throw a fight with his father there watching. His brothers would have had to be in on the fix too ... and that is just not possible. Bottom line, under-training, over confidence, and a loss of the level of reflexes and speed needed to compete at that level all combined to beat Gracie. I like ya BD and believe you really do train ... unlike some of these others around here who only wish they did ... so don't take this personally. |

I like Hughes (though I didn't think he'd beat Royce), I'm not trying to bring him down; my point is just that yes, he's on steroids, but who cares? I'm positive he isn't the only one. |
