On May 27, 2006, UFC 60 went down from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The marquee matchup saw a clash of eras when the promotion’s dominant welterweight champ Matt Hughes competed in a non-title match with grappling icon, and UFC 1 winner, Royce Gracie. Hughes was able to impose his will on the old school veteran, taking Gracie’s back and finishing with ground strikes in the first round. The co-main event of the evening witnessed a classic striker vs. grappler match when “The Boogeyman” Dean Lister squared off with Italy’s Alessio Sakara, with Lister scoring a triangle submission in the opening round.
