Hmm, I'm curious but....Penn is just a black belt, right? So how did Mr Royce, a 7th degree BB, lose then? You're probably going to tell me Royce was too old or something, right? So how did Carlos Newton, another BJJ black belt, lose to Hughes TWICE? Newton's not that old. But in any case, I think it's the person that makes the art, not the other way around. Just because Penn beat up Hughes doesn't mean BJJ spanks wrestling forever. Evolution is constantly changing. The one flaw I see in the Gracies is their refusal to change with change.
Don't get me wrong, I was actually rooting for Royce to win because I think his newaza techniques are very good.
