Yeah Riggs Vs Hughes would've been my pick too!

The guy was NOWHERE NEAR ready, to take on a WW the calibur of Matt Hughes. He did'nt even make weight for it! Meh.

Riggs has improved somwhat since then, but he's STILL by no means worthy of a title shot. Hard to belive he ever got one at all....

I'm guessing the rest of the WW divison, guys like karo and GSP, were otherwise too occupied or unable to pick up the gauntlet against matt at the time. So riggs was a filler opponent.
