All I can see is MH delaying the exact thing that happened last time. He cant strike w/ GSP and he cant take him down. After seeing GSP in his last fight I am not even sure that MH has the advantage on the ground either, although that is probably his best chance to win. The thing is it wont go to the ground unless GSP wants it there. This is just how I see it but if MH does pull off the win and proves me wrong then major kudos to him.....

I can't see Matt winning this fight. I think GSP is too quick and will pick Hughes apart. Hughes will go for takdowns with no avail. Eventually I see Hughes getting TkO'd late in the second round or early in the third. By the way, this is a five rounder right?

That is correct and I agree w/ your assessment !00%; GSP by KO late 2nd/early 3rd.....

Matt can win this. Keep in mind that GSP took this on short notice and it's one of the reasons Hughes accepted the fight with him...he even said it himself. I respect Hughes for telling the truth on that one. And therein lies the Hughes advantage...plus he won't be a simpleton this time and try to stand with him.

I still think GSP wins.

Like other fights this night I have voted with my heart and not to much with my brain. I put my points on Matt but I really belive GSP will take it.
Matt`s only chanse is to actually get GSP on his back.
If he can do that he can also win since he is really good when he gets the match there.

Please put on a show Matt!!!!

I put points on MH too just b/c of the odds but I dont expect to win and points. MH could catch GSP in a sub of some sort but I doubt it.....

that was such a sick arm bar!!! The amount of force in his face as he pulled it off was amazing! GSP ALL THE WAY!!!

GSP by armbar. total domination. I thought the most impressive part was when Hughes had a single on GSP, but GSP got out.

Hughes is in doubt about his future.

Harms · 12-30-2007, 12:44 AM

The sad part is we more than likely won't get to see Hughes/Serra.

OneTwoPunch · 12-30-2007, 12:49 AM

Awesome transistion game, td defense, quickness, athletisicism, strength, and agility by GSP. He comletely dominated and I can't wait until his fight with serra. I believe he will fight that fight completely diferently. Hughes was comletely classy in defeat and he declared GSP the better fighter. When Rogan popped the retirement question, he basically said he has to think it over and see what the UFC wants to do with him. This was a motivational fight for GSP fans. He said the interim title was nothing to him and he cant wait to take the real belt. That is going to be a great fight. WAR GSP!

SmashingMachine · 12-30-2007, 12:51 AM

I thought GSP made Hughes look bad last time. This was a sickening domination by GSP. He threw Hughes around and beat him down like a rag doll.

If GSP beats Serra, I could see Hughes coming back for one more against Serra.

All props to GSP though, he is such a dominant force. He was better in every aspect of this match. I don't see Serra beating this GSP.

UFCsinceTaktarov · 12-30-2007, 12:52 AM

GSP - you know it! Was there any doubt? Still, it's hard to see a fighter as great as Matt Hughes go down - maybe for good?

PINOYPRIDE · 12-30-2007, 12:56 AM

GSP dominated Hughes from the beginning to the end. I see a big difference in GSP's performance, speed and power.

All I can say GSP vs. Serra 2 I can't wait.

Jenkins83 · 12-30-2007, 12:57 AM

Fight went pretty much like I thought it would. GSP made Hughes look like an amateur.

fullonshred · 12-30-2007, 12:58 AM

Congratulations to GSP.

i agree... i can't believe that there were some people who thought Hughes was going to win this fight... i guess some people just can't look at things objectively

Crazy · 12-30-2007, 01:03 AM

Yea, unfortunatly it went this way

To bad since I can`t stand GSP. That being said I think he might hold the title for a long time once he gets hold of it again.

Gratz to GSP for the win.
