This fight is gonna be a joke, I see the Gracie family throwing in the towel

I agree. Its a new era, the fighters are better conditioned and the top guys like Hughes know all Gracies moves and more now. By the time Gracie left the scene he was starting to take some beatings to get those submisions. I dont think this will go well for Gracie......

IMO Dana signed this fight as a passing of the torch and to show how much the sport has evolved over the last 10 years.

You could argue that Gracie is more rested and body is healthy because he hasn't been fighting as much. That doesn't really matter with these two at all.

You must just want to argue, you said Hughes would win and I said Hughes would win, I guess you just feel it will be Hughes' lucky day and dont feel it will because he is younger, stronger and at the top of his game.
Enjoy the fight

I think Hughes will win. He is just a beast. He's strong, is a good striker, good submission skills, and great ground and pound. I think Gracie is washed up, we'll see.

Swick VS Riggs will be the best fight of the night.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing Gumby (Horn) tap Chael too. I like watching Jeremy fight.
