i know i would. Alves did very well against Hughes, beat him standing and was able to survive without damage on the ground. What i did notice is that Hughes was still able to hold Alves on his back without alot of effort. Now whether this was Thiago just waiting for a standup or that he just could'nt do anything i don't know. What i do know is that GSP has become a very very dangerous fighter on the ground and you don't want to be stuck under him for any length of time. GSP easily submitted Hughes in their last fight and Matt Serra did'nt stand a chance and he's a BJJ Black Belt. GSP and Alves are near equals standing. I will give Alves a slight edge though, he has more snap in his punches and his leg kicks are vicious. GSP gets the edge on the ground, in wrestling, submissions, takedown defense and i possibly overall conditioning. I also give GSP an overwhelming advantage in being able to make weight.
