In May the greatest fighter of all time will return to the Ultimate Fights to battle w/ Matt Hughes. Matt is a very well balanced machine and is almost unbeatable. Should be a great match!!! Boxing is no longer a sport thanks to Don King so this is the next best violent sport..

that one will be good, but I can't wait to see tito vs shamrock after Ultimate fighter 3. That will be a good fight, they hate each other:)

Yah, anybody that has watched the first UFC fights saw Grace do amazing things for a 180lb guy. Continually tore up guys 50-70lbs heavier by submission. As for Ortis and Shamrock...hmmm just going to be Tito getting his a** kicked by Shamrock IMHO!

If you really think Gracie is going to beat Hughes you are crazy. The sport of MMA has evolved light years ahead of the early days of the UFC where Royce ruled the octagon against much larger opponents. The stars of today are so well versed in all aspects of fighting. Gracie is 40 and is obviously well past his prime, Hughes is 32 and is in the prime of his career. Anyone can get caught in a submission and lose, but I just cannot see Hughes taking the fall against gracie

Yeah, Matt is super tough. I wrestled him in college. He was/is very good.
