He Can Still Kick Your Butt

I'm enjoying listening to all the Royce Gracie critics since he lost his fight with Matt Hughes last night at UFC 60. While it's true that mixed martial arts have come full circle and a fighter must have both strong skills in striking and grappling, the facts remain:

  • Royce Gracie revolutionized modern martial arts as we know them, no less than Bruce Lee did in his time
  • Royce Gracie can still beat most people in a fight, particularly the critics...

Right on my friend! I think even Matt Hughes will admit that he trains the way he trains because of the example Royce Gracie set.
