Hughes vs GSP

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

Hughes will be back. He'll make adjustments for the rubbermatch. He's not a shot fighter.

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

I read in a magazine last week, Grappler i think that Hughes has 2 more fights left then he wants to retire. this was before the GSP fight, so i dont know if there will be a rematch, hughes is too old and slow for stand up and bouncing around when compared to the speed and youth of gsp, the man's impressive, was sad to see hughes go down, he really didint look his best and i hated watching it knowing he was going down.

Hughes is a warrior and a stand up guy. He will not end his fight career with this loss, GSP is just now hitting his stride, matt hit his a couple years back. Guys cant win forever in this game, time passes them by. Hughes is a hall of famer, and a stand up guy. I have no problem with people bashing fighters, as long as they too put it on the line in the ring.

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

gsp's nose was broke and bleeding which made it difficult for him to breathe.

I agree tha Hughes is not done, but he does need to do something to get that edge back. In the fight against Penn you could see that the fire in his eyes was not fully lit. I think that he might be getting worried that he is getting older and might get hurt therefor not putting all out like he used to. He's getting more cautious and not going for it. You could see it against GSP too, especially when he saw that he could not take GSP down.

oh, dont get me wrong, he took a beating, i was surprised he won with how still impressive bj fought, and put some GOOd marks on the face of GSP. but he looked more fresh than BJ did, thats for sure

I cant believe how you people, well some, act like Matt Hughes is finished or can't beat St. Pierre... I think these guys could beat each other on any given night. Matt tried to stand up against him. Not good. He needed to shoot more. He is a world class wrestler. Get GSP down and mount him.

And as for GSP, he played it perfect. Kept matt hughes at distance using the jab and kicks. Matt couldn't shoot effectively from that far.

GSP is great, but beatable. Look at his match with The Prodigy. The welterweight division is great. I hope BJ gets better.

matt hughes will shoot on gsp 20 times and maybe get a takedown once! gsp has great takedown defense. mma is constantly evolving and right now all the fighters who have good clinch techiques are winning. if a guy has a great clinch he can keep the fight standing or take his opponent down. look at fedor. he can take a guy down from any where! he doesnt have to shoot in on a guy 10 times wasting energy hoping to get him down.

It all depends on setting up the shoot. Even if he succeeds one time out of twenty, theres a good chance the fight can end on that take down. Now for me, this just goes for matt hughes. The whole world knows he isnt the best striker. he wont outstrike st pierre.
