The guy on the bottom in this photo is world renowned Brazilian jiu jiuitsu artist and undefeated UFC world champion Royce Gracie. He's like the Babe Ruth of mixed martial arts fighting. The guy is a legend and he never loses. Ever.
However, if you examine the photo closely, you'll notice that there is another gentleman in teh picture as well. No not the referee. The other guy. The one perched on Gracie's back raining down fists of fury like it's 1988, he's thirteen and playing Mike Tyson's Super punch out all hopped up on Mountain Dew and pixie sticks. Ok, now do you see him? That guys is Matt Hughes. No nickname. Just Matt Hughes. He's a wrestler and lives on a farm in illinois. And he just dropped like a ton of bricks. It wasn't even close.

I didn't get to see fight, but about a decade ago I saw Gracie "beat" everyone. Basically, the dude went in their with his karate outfit, would tie up, and make someone submit. I am not saying Royce coudln't take me out, because he probably could, although after my time in the Big Apple I would go tit for tat with him. In this photo I notice that he does not have his outfit on. I think that inhibited him.
He still looks rather compromised, so maybe, as you say, it wasn't even close.
Gracie got what he deserved and I loved it!
Hughes is a Christian, too.
