I believe that the match will be pretty close to what their last match was. True Matt Hughes has evolved as a fighter since then but his strategy is pretty much the same as it's always been. Takedown, GnP, Sub / TKO. That pretty much sums it up. I dont believe that Hughes striking is better than Penn's and I dont believe his ground game is anywhere near Penn's. The only things I think Hughes has over Penn is maybe conditioning, we'll have to see the night of the fight for that one however, and for sure strength. I am betting that Penn subs Hughes either in the latter parts of the first round or the early stages of the second round.
