This is why I'm mixed on the way the fight will go, Matt is an animal I know but Royce just has always had something that makes me know he's the real deal no matter how old he is(look at randy for an age don't matter argument).
Matts is an all rounder, a very powerfull strong wrestler(allround attack and defense, stood or ground) with good stand up(attack and defense). He is without doubt one of the strongest(skill wise) in the ufc.
Royce is also an all rounder, his BJJ game is faultless. He isn't known for his stand up power but he has good stand up with great defense and decent speed, his kicks are under-estimated. I think his ground and mounted defense is one of the best I ever saw and without question his grapple skills go beyond anyone in the ufc IMO.
So with that in mind , Dang this fight will be close but I see Royce winning by submission. We all saw Matt vs Penn, Penn is like a world champion in BJJ but I don't think he could submit royce. So I think this fight comes down to not if Royce is ready for Matts aggresion and wrestling mauling style but is Matt ready for Royces stand up defense and then his ground and submit you game...
Infact the more I think about this I question even if Matt will last a round with Royce and if so will he be empty from having to defend the attacks and end up just falling apart like he did with Penn. We will see soon I guess.
What are your thoughts?
Cheers
