I'll admit, I was jumping around & shouting "Torque the arm, c'mon! Straighten that thing out, he can't last! Hooks! Get the hooks & flatten him out! Grapevine! Pound him!!!!!"

Matt heard cracking

So did Randy & Mike. They mention it just as Matt gives up on the arm & goes back to GnP.

I watched it again too. It looked like Royce would have let Matt break his arm before he would ever tap.

Pride cometh before a fall...

...or a trip to the ER.

I love watching that fight. Its great to see Gracie get pounded after all the talk he was making before that fight.

I've seen it before...I allready know the outcome...

I dont wanna spoil it for anyone else though, so I shall not tell them that Matt Hughes wins...

Gracie's don't tap, Bonnie

This fight made me cry, Royce had no business in there IMO,
He was 40, and has never been super athletic. His BJJ was built for an entirely different sport, not modern mma.
Matt was younger, stronger and his game is tuned for modern rules.
He is a hero of mine and I love the guy, but it was sad to see him lose.

he made 400K for the fight on the bright side.
