    Default Royce Gracie - Hidehiko Yoshida II Confirmed

    Royce Gracie - Hidehiko Yoshida II Confirmed
    Our sources confirmed today that Royce Gracie will indeed face Hidehiko Yoshida in a much anticipated rematch at Pride FC on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, the event will not be on US PPV, but Pride FC promises to turn around the DVD in record time!

    Via insidefighting.com

    I got 100 on Royce.

    I'll put $500 on Royce as long as they promise not to screw him over again.

    Do you know what the rounds and time are for the match? Is it a sub grappling gi match again? Are the officials going to mess this one up again?

    If I were Royce I don't think I'd take this. Pride competitions have been poorly officiated in the past, particularly the matches involving his family; first the Royler stoppage, then the Takada "decision", then this Yoshida fiasco. I suppose he wants to prove that he can beat Yoshida. But he has so many students and so many more in his association, who won't get to train with him for four months, is a Yoshida rematch worth it? If he subs him it won't really give him more than he's already got.

    I can't see it happening (a Gracie win)

    He's rusty as hell & Yoshida just had an awesome match with the baddest man on the planet & nearly won!

    Save your $ guys,

    Yoshida is going to wipe the floor with Royce.. sorry guys, but royce is over the top, yoshida is getting closer to his top.. ! Yoshida is stronger, his technique is just as good on the ground, atleast when it comes to NOT being submitted. He is also far better on his feet.. Who else throws Silva around like a doll?


    so again, save your money.. bet on Yoshida.
    any given fighter can beat any given fighter on any given day..
    so..
    what are you waiting for Rickson, I'm here..

    I'd like to see Royce win, but I wouldn't put any money on it.

    The only reason Royce had such a good career in UFC was because his family had such a big influence on the rules. The Rules fit BJJ so well that it was easy for him to win.

    As soon as he got into the ring with saku he got mauled. Royce is over the hill and in all likely hood will lose. I will be going with the smart bet.

    Actually, I take back my prediction. I would put a lot of money on the fight ending up a draw with Yoshida in Royce's guard, which is where he'll spend the whole match after he tosses Royce to the ground. Then they'll hug each other and people will say what a great match it was. If Yoshida beats Royce they should bring the unsightly Valiji in to fight under the same conditions with Yoshida.

    This Fight will be a good one as long as the Ref
    does his JOB> it will settel the score if Royces comes out short
    Then The 1st won will seem more & more like the Right Thing to have
    happend But if Royce win's it will silence his credicts.

    One thing i noticed in Yoshida Vs Vanderlay
    is The Yosida pulls his singel arm out & was almost cought in a Triangel
    I have to say Royce has a better Triangel Than Vanderlay.

    Only Aftter is done will we know.
    No Fear!

    I don't follow PRIDE very much, but I just watched the first Gracie/Yoshida Match and uh................ what happened?

    I didn't see Royce tap out nor did I see him go limp. What was the ref's motivation for stopping the match?
