Gracie has nothing left to prove. He's still an incredible fighter. He lost to hughes due to strenght advantage.

I think we'd see the same outcome.The 1st fight went exactly as I expected.Royce dictated the pace on the feet with leg kicks and eventually Matt got frustrated and went for the takedown.The only problem was that since Royce wasn't a wrestler matt was able to slam Royce into side controll.Where there isn't any submission that Royce could pull off.That's when Matt used his strength advantage to keep Royce in side control and than to keep him in mount than to keep him in back mount.
