I don't think Gracie is out of practice, I prefer to think of it as honing his skills out of the limelight. I was always amazed at how he could win when his opponents always seemed bigger, stronger, meaner, etc....

I am rooting for the old guy cause I are one! I hope he has one more surprise in him.

A lot of these guys are very bright educated men.... Chuck Liddell has a degree in accounting and Rich Franklin was a school teacher.

After their career you can change that to WERE very bright educated men!

Anybody that would take the beatings that they do for peanuts(compared to boxers) ain't that bright in my book.

But still, fun to watch.

It is amazing to me that some of these guys will fight for such little money.  I also can't believe that Matt Hughes makes so much more money per fight than Rich Franklin.  I just read that Hughes is making the same amount per fight as he has since 2002.  Franklin signed a 7 fight deal before his big win against Shamrock and because he is the stand up guy he is, he is honoring the deal.  Regardless, he is drastically underpaid.  

UFC is making huge money these days and paying less and less to the fighters.  I love Dana White and the UFC, but this is ridiculous.  If the guys weren't under such long term contracts they could fight in Pride and make a heckofalot more money.
