I would love to see the fight between Matt Hughes and Gracie

I think if Hughes has all of his counters to the grappling that Royce is absolutely world class at (even at an old age for a fighter), then he can simply overpower Royce. However, if Hughes isn't studied up and Royce is quicker than Matt and gets him in a pickle he doesn't know how to get out of, then Royce could make Matt look silly. If this were a Brazilian jiu-jitsu match and both had to wear gi, then Royce could definitely beat Hughes b/c he'd have even more grappling moves to his disposal with the use of the gi. BUT...this is UFC. My heart wants Royce to win, but my mind tells me Hughes is the best in the UFC in any weight class today and will win.
