Overall, Pride\'s fighters are better than the UFC\'s. Especially in the heavyweight division. Fedor Emelianenko is the best fighter on the planet without a doubt.
As far as Hughes/Gracie goes, Hughes shouldn\'t have a huge problem. But Royce is only 39 if I remember correctly, that\'s not much older than Chuck Liddell. I don\'t think even a prime Royce Gracie would give Matt much of a problem, of course there\'s always the chance he can pull off a submission.
Some friends and I went to the weigh-in and the actual UFC 59 event and met and got pics/autographs from 9 fighters aswell as both octagon girls. Really cool. We\'re also planning on going to the weigh-in for UFC 60 in LA.
