Hughes vs. GSP!

[Oh Furious One]

Finally, the rematch is coming. What are your predictions for this fight?

I’m going with GSP this time. I thought he was very unlucky in the first fight, I thought he dominated Hughes until he locked in that arm bar with literally seconds to go. Who knows how the fight would have went if he held on for those extra seconds..

I’m admittedly not a Hughes fan. I dislike his arrogance, but I respect his fighting ability as that is unquestionable. I really hope GSP brings it home this time, hopefully by a third round submission so we get a quality fight.

There was talk about Hughes retiring after two more fights, but that turned out to be BS thankfully. I really want to see a Hughes/Penn trilogy. I was disappointed to learn that Penn is dropping down a division. Oh and either way, Serra is going to die against either of these guys in the TUF title fight.

I concur. Cannot wait for the fight. This weekend!

My tip is Matt Hughes (unfortunately!) I respect his ability as a fighter but really dislike his arrogance and 'jock' attitude.

I think it will be close though, but I put hughes as a slight favourite.

Tip: Hughes by GNP ref stoppage in the 3rd
Hope: St Pierre by brutal KO late in the 5th!

Maybe it wont be after GSP taps Hughes.

Matt Hughes is a unit what's his record 40-4 (thanks sherdog)? That's unheard of. The bloke's neck is thicker than one of my legs. This is the deepest division in the UFC and Hughes has dominated it, newton sherk penn gsp riggs trigg how would you like those names on your resume? Cant see him losing, his subs are world class, strikes world class, been beat once in 6yrs by penn rear naked choke, how could you tip against this guy? Unbelievable that the choice could be so clear considering how good gsp is. catlike.
hughes by decision or sub.

GSP won, I'm so bloody happy. It was stopped in the second round after a brutal head kick and multiple elbows.

GSP – New UFC World Welterweight Champion! YES!

Highlight above to see result.
