Oh yea, hes def. not gonna be done after this last fight...Royce is a really confident fighter, and most likely knows that he needs to improve on his striking wether its during Stand up, Clenching, or on the Ground...Submissions wont get you as far in the UFC as they did back in the 90s...but yea, youll def. see more of Royce soon.

i don't think rolls royce is gonna do that great affter this.
he's gettin kinda old, i don't think he can hang with the new generation.

Age is proving to be a barrier...you got older fighters trying to keep there spot in the sport...and it jes hasnt been working out to well. Anyone remember Rich Franklin beating Ken Shamrock..? first round..Ortiz beat Shamrock first round...although there re match is coming up....Lidell has wins over Cotoure...and now Huges put down Gracie...so who knows...all these Vets still got it in them, its jes the fighters theyve been fighting...are some of the best in the sport now...jes like they all WERE so many years back...
i agree with that, but royce is one of the greatest fighters to ever step into the octagon, i give him 2 months of training to improve his stand-up and wrestling, and i honestly believe he will be able to take hughes, or anyone else that wants to step into the ring with him..yes age does play a factor in this, but "the iceman" chuck lidell is around the same age as royce, and cotoure or howerver you spell it, i believe is in his fourties, so yes i think age plays a factor, but matt hughes is 32, thats not too young either...so yeah royce will beat him, just give him a few months.

Did Shamrock use to be in WWA?
