@E Rock , Royce Gracie's career was winding down when Matt Hughes fought him, I think it is well safe to say, that if the two of them fought in each other's Prime, Gracie would choke his ass out.Strength wouldn't matter.

But it would definitely be a great fight, each of them in their Prime.

Wow. Im shocked and saddened. Health is so important. I hope he recovers fully. My day just changed 😔

[@watchandlearnbjj]

As a long time fan of mma it's hard for me to see someone I look up to like this. I hope he recovers well most people who aren't built like matt hughes maybe wouldn't have survived. He'll always be a true legend to me.

Damn! So happy he made it. This made me so emotional. The fact that he is still standing proves that he is very strong considering the accident. God bless him and his family and his enormous support from everyone, including his fans.

It's things like this that restores your faith in your fellow creatures...made my day I'm only just learning now about Matts accident

[@Grudeman408]

Matt Hughes you are an inspiration, seeing this puts life in perspective in so many ways, so heartbreaking but so inspirational to see him pull through this horrific accident.

[@Blankadoodledo]

Matt!!! ...stay strong. You look fantastic...i can't believe this happened, terrible

[@midnightturmoil9637]

Met Matt in my local Dollar General one night and he was so happy to meet a fan. Great guy

[@michaelroy9729]

If you didn’t cry a little you have no heart. Matt is the definition of a warrior 150%

[@MotorcycleMonkey]

I didn't even know this happened to Matt. I'm a massive fan and was at the Staples Center in L.A. when he fought Royce Gracie. So incredibly happy that he is winning the most important fight of his life...God Bless Matt.

it breaks my heart and makes me cry - true champion and stand up guy - a true warrior and take good care. We love you Matt.
