Hughes vs. Gracie (UFC)

.

If I can.

Tito Ortez is King IMHO.

Is it on Bravo?

TBH I think this will be a white wash by Hughes. He has been training properly and fighting in ufc for ages now. After seeing him on Ultimate Fighter 2 he definately proved himself, still a **** but a good trainer.
Royce has been out for a long time, and from what I understand he hasn't fought MMA for a while. He's getting old. He's a legend, but I think Hughes will take this one.

Have you been watching Ultimate Fighter season 3?

Is that with the Brit Michael Bisping? He's pretty funny and very good at MMA.

Yep that's the one. When I heard that the trainers were gonna be Tito and Ken I thought it was gonna be cool. I also thought that you'd really want to be trained by Ken. His lions den is legendary for turning out great fighters, and Tito is an arogant bloke.
How wrong was I!!!!! Tito's training is superb and he is such a great bloke. He can play great mind games and really knows how to motivate and get in peoples heads. Kens training style is awful, and he just walks out when people disagree with him. He talks too much and he got a body builder in as a nutritionist! So when you need to cut weight you eat.....steak. hmmm
Tito is the man and my opinion on him has changed greatly!

Ken's a fighter not a teacher, his 'brother' Frank was a much better teacher.

Tito has time for his team, whereas Ken talks too much and has no respect for his team.
Love watching Tito wind Ken up

Well I stayed up last night to watch it and I gotta say there were some good fights. The flying knee was a great finish in one fight!
Swick was better than I thought and ended with a nice guillotine, and Diego's fight was definately different. He seems to have grown up to which is a good thing. He was always a great fighter, but he seems a lot more mature about it all now.

Hughes vs Gracie went pretty much as I expected. Although Gracie did try a few more stand up attacks before being taken to the ground. I was surprised how poor his ground defence was, but then Hughes is overly strong, and Gracie is a beanpole. Gotta say I'm glad Hughes pulled out of the armbar cos Gracie was not gonna tap, that would have been a nasty break for sure.
Hughes Dominated, but lets hope Royce is back soon.

Looking forward to Tito vs. Shamrock now!

Tito all the way!

but lets hope Royce is back soon.

Royce was there only for the $$$$$$$$$$$ - GJJ may have formed the basis of the early UFCs, but times have changed - i doubt very much that Royce will be abck any time soon.

But on the subject of TUF3..... hoping to see mike bisping take that UFC contract. Don't think there are any others in TUF that can match him.

I don't think Royce did it for the money. He is huge in Japan and has plenty of schools in the US so I don't think money is an issue. GJJ is still great but you need more nowadays. I reckon he'll be back, but he needs to work on his body more than his fighting. The difference between him and Hughes was masive, I think that was his major downfall.

As for Mike Bisping, he's one of the better fighters in his weight class but I still think Matt Hamill has a lot to offer. He is an amazing wrestler who can dominate most, including Mike, as he showed by not using his hands at times in training. Hopefully it's those two in the final, but we will see.
