Royce is better on the ground, but Hughes has him dominated in every other area.

This fight ends in a decision for hughes 80% of the time and 10% in a Gracie submission. leaving a 10% random WTF factor
I dont think the fight wil stay standing for any amount of time so Hughes' "domination" standing probably wont be much of a factor. Hughes hasnt KOd a guy by punches in the UFC and he prefers to go for the takedown anyways. So this fight WILL be on the ground.

Hughes will probably GnP his way to descision. His wrestling is that much better than Royces, and after a takedown he just needs to throw some elbows, maybe sit there for a while, get stood back up becuase a bunch of drunk idiots are booing, rinse and repeat his way to the descision.

Make it no time limits and no ref standups and I give Gracie a win by odd wristlock in an hour long match.
