If You See This Man, RUN AWAY!

In the real world, they pose almost no threat to anyone who isn't already a substantial danger to him- or herself.

Step in the octagon with one of these brutes? It's a different ball o' wax altogether—you better know what you're doing or you definitely will get hurt.

But, say you ran across one of 'em in a bar—possibly the most precarious place your average person finds him- or herself on a regular basis.

I'm betting, in any state including extreme intoxication, you're giving even the least superficially terrifying of that group (probably the Spider or Dragon) a wide berth. Really wide—I'm talking crazy-bum-muttering-to-himself-wearing-no-pants wide.

It's true that each one gives off a perilous vibe—as do most roughnecks who get paid to hurt their fellow man—but they're also big. Enormous, in fact.

Silva is the "smallest" and he's 6'2" while walking around north of 200 pounds. And it's a two-bills-plus that will stand out from your normal crowd because pro athletes are rocking more muscle than us couch jockeys.

And it's a different, denser kind of muscle—the result of intense workouts beyond the purposes of the most maniacal-yet-recreational exercise buffs.

    Matt Hughes could quite possibly be the singlemost boring and coward fighter ever seen in the UFC. Not only was he a real d*** about this fight after winning it, but he's a d*** in general too. But once he gets hit...

    He should be thankful he's a welterweight and I can honestly say I've never enjoyed a fighter going downhill more than him. Hated when he "won" against Serra by laying on him but there you go, let's just hope it ends in horrible humiliation though.

    I'm tired of hearing this Gracie shit. He isn't and wasn't ever a P4P king!!! He faught amateurs during the first UFC's, that's why he dominated?!! Look at him when he went over to Japan where at that time the level was higher, HE GOT KILLED. The Gracie's, all of them are horrible yes i mean horrible MMA fighters

    yes the sport has evolved, even past matt hughes.that's the nature of any sport but anyone who has followed the ufc since 1993 will tell you that royce is the man.Period.he fought when there were no rounds,only 2 rules,no weight classes and don't forget if you won you had to fight again that night.i have seen royce fight as many as 4 times in one night.anyone with any knowledge of the sport of mma will tell you royce is a legend and has contributed more than any other fighter.everyone grows older and there is always a fighter waiting to rule the sport like spider and gsp so give royce the respect he deserves......

    who clicks 'poor' on a story about a legend in the sport because they wouldn't win today?

    F***ing f**s. Royce is the man, the lovers need to find a way out of basement and maybe lose enough weight to see their d*** again.

    exactly royce doesnt stand a chance now.. its like saying...... wilt chamberlain would dominate the nba today like he did back then.. just forget it, wont happen.. sport has evolved people learned FROM royce that ground fighting, grappling and bjj was the superior base but all in all, the better athlete and technician = best p4p.. royce would get murdered in the ufc now, as we witnessed against hughes.. (who has gotten beaten easily by several non p4p contenders.. like alves )

    At THAT time he was the man, of course after EVERYONE learned BJJ, they learned to defend.

    That would be the only way to determine the best p4p fighter today. back then there were no weight classes and if there was a dispute as to who was better p4p they would simply fight and gracie proved time after time that he was the best nowadays its a lot harder to tell but it would be the only to find out. a tournament of the top 8 p4p fighters at there natural weight, the winner would be the undisputed p4p KING!! only in our dreams now though. But that was the best thing of the early days, it wouldnt be a dream it was a reality. of the top guys fighting each other with weight having nothing to do with it.

    "Now that i think about it, this guy could easily be argued to be pound for pound the best fighter"

    Yupp that's right, i mean he fought heavyweights and won, not once. But many many times!

    Who else could fight that small and dominate so greatly that everyone would have to make carbon copies of his style to stand a chance? Noone that was actually IN the octagon
