Shamrock is a joke and has no chance, Sylvia vs Arvlovkski, I dont really care, the UFC heavyweight division SUCKS. The second round of the Pride OWGP should be interesting though.

I wish that the two would compete against each other at some point. Even though the timing of the matches is far different, thus the fighting and conditioning is much different.

Blandnuts said:I'd say Pride is better only because they have less rules.... Then again the fighters don't seem as good as UFC fighters and man it's such a joke when they get near the ropes.
I'm thinking they should get Rampage Jackson to fight Chuck in UFC, and hell bring the Gracie hunter over too .
Edit: I know Chuck already lost to him but I think Rampage would be an entertaining fighter in the UFC and beating Chuck again would be a nice entrance

maverick0716 said:Just because he was small doesn't mean he should have lost the fight. Bruce Lee was only 5'7" 135 lbs. and he could kick the **** out of a lot of guys too.....tremendous power for such a small frame......looks like that guy had it too.
Speeds8erM-1 said:In todays professional sports where everybody is close, WEIGHT DOES MATTER. This isnt some trained guy fighting untrained cans or douchebags on a street corner. Just like in boxing, there are weight classes for a reason. Not to mention weight cutting in the classes and everything. Not to say a great middle weight or light heavy wouldnt tool a low level heavy but a high level heavy is gonna usually beat a high level smaller fighter, depending on if that fighter cuts alot of weight to make his weight or actually walks around much larger. Somebody who fights around 175-180 pounds vs somebody who fights at 145 is quite a difference. That guy is decent but no top line fighter http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?fighterID=2276
Against a smaller grappler, Royce should have dominated and didnt. Thats why there were questions of why he was fighting Hughes and if he had a chance.

I mean back in the day Gracie was unstoppable, but since then fighters have taken notes on Gracie's fighting style.........lol.......when the student surpasses the master. Kinda funny too.....Hughs didn't do near as much trash talking as Gracie before that fight.
