Matt Hughes wins by TKO via ground-and-pound, in the first round. I was pulling for Royce and hoping he could take today's crop of fighters, but very early on I could tell that it was going to be a mismatch.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
UFC 60: Hughes schools Gracie

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yeah that was a total schooling of Gracie's ass, although the man has my respect for not tapping out on that armbar...dude's got balls of steel! :rockon:
Hughes is an immense fighter, with excellent standing and ground technique...I'm really curious to see his next fights.
And even better...ORTIZ and SHAMROCK in UFC 61. HOLY ****!!!!!!!!! :yes:

I kinda expected it. How old is Royce? 41?
something looks extremley fishy. There was no fight in gracie at all and he hardly put up any resistance what so ever!!!
Gracie is a 6th degree black belt of BJJ/GJJ and i do not even believe that black belts of that level give up their backs so easily in fights. In our BJJ class we are taught to NEVER give your back EVER because what happens? the fight will end by either a choke or a elbow/fist to the back of the head. Gracie then , from what looked like it to me, allowed Matt Hughes to get both hooks in ( both legs tucked under his thighs ), again we are taught to resist that as much as possible when your back is taken and not allow the opponent to anchor him self into you.
There was no bridging/rolling or any attempt to escape when matt hughes had his back at all. If your a BJJ practioner than you will know that Gracie could have done a WHOLE lot better than that.

Gracie is outdated. Hughes is tremendously stronger and a better overall fighter.
