I think he had lost alot of his speed, shooting and on the mat, after his layoff when he first fought sakuraba. When i talk about joyce gracie as a legend im refering to his ufc days. I think a prime Joyce would have given matt & sakuraba MUCH harder times on the Mat, but we'll never know for sure.

Why do you keep calling him Joyce?
I realt don't think he could have beaten Hughes or Sakaraba, even in his prime.
Right now, there arn't any gracies that need to be in the UFC, none of them are top fighters.
I have high hopes for Roger though. The marketing for him practically writes itself; "the return of the gracie family to the octagon..."
