Hughes vs GSP

[thor19]

So after watching Matts last two fights I'm wondering if it wasn't his twin brother fighting before pretending to be Matt. He looked nothing like the hughes that won the tittle and beat Royce Gracie.

Royce gracie isn't a skilled striker like hughes. Also, royce isnt anywhere near as fast and strong a st. pierre. Matt has been working on his striking alot and thinks he can stand toe to toe with people. He cant, yet. He needed to shoot bigtime on st, pierre and get him mounted. He needed to win by submission or ground and pound. Hopefuly he realizes this and corrects it. He needs to go back to his wrestling roots.

GSP dominated the fight in all areas bare non!!! he owned the stand up game, blocked all his shot attempts, and did what he said he was going to do, hunt him down!

the days of wrestlers shooting in and getting takedowns is comming to an end at the elite levels of mma...all the top fighters who are succesfully taking guys down are doing it from the clinch position now. tomany fighters have takedown defense now at the top levels. this sport is always evolving!

The bar of M.M.A. has definitely been raised! I can't believe that Hughes realied on his boxing training, which he mentioned was going to help him. He must had fogotten that he is a wrestler not a boxer. I think his wrestling skills couldn't have even given him much power against the RUSH! Keep your eye on the "Anderson Silva" type fighters, once again- the bar of M.M.A. has definitely been raised!

i wouldnt say that...hughes could still hold his own against most fighters in his weight div,he could easily beat guys like matt sera. just not gsp.gsp's game is too complete!

GSP is a fucking animal, the man takes a beating like no one ive seen and look at his frame, the man is the definition of the prime male specimine as far as fitness goes. I thought GSP would win, even though I dont like him after talking shit about babalu, im not a big hughes fan either though. But how about the GSP and penn fight? GSP was deff. winded by the last round but he was going hard still

 

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

GSP just kept Hughes at the end of his jab the entire fight. Hughes never could get off an effective shot because GSP controlled the distance the entire time. GSP kept backing him up with leg kicks and jabs and moved in and out and angularly. Perfect wrestler killer striking much like Mo Smith vs. Mark Coleman: Do your damage, then reset the distance so he cannot time and shoot off your strikes.

Matt Hughes is finished..........

Wow, one loss and you're finished? Everyone loses, especially to a guy like GSP, Hughes is still a dominant fighter.
