Re: UFC....Hughes Dominates Gracie
Naturally, these are only matters of opinion and should only be addressed as such. But your last sentence says it all:

but I think years ago before Hughes was versed in submissions, Gracie would have won.

Hughes is very well versed in submissions, just look at his latest victories over Gracie, GSP, Trigg, etc. Not only is he a beast at 170lbs, (natural weight is said to be @ 195lbs), but he's a very technical fighter. He does not have a belt rank in Jitz, but I don't see him having much trouble gaining a black belt if he were to try for it. 9 times out of 10, I'm still taking Hughes.
