On paper Royce obviously had no shot as an aging, semi-retired fighter with a limited skillset compared to modern MMA.
However, the media hype machine and the casuals were all over his dick. Much like any smart knew Rousey would get clowned the first time she tried to bang with an actual striker, the media and public at large were caught up with Royce-mania.
Upset on the books? No way.
Upset to the public? Absolutely.
