I think that GSP is the one who can de-throne Matt Hughes. He is more well rounded as a fighter and is real hungry to avenge his previous defeat. In watching the first fight it was pretty evenly matched until GSP made a rookie mistake by leaving his arm waving. He has improved since then and his domination of Frank Trigg was quite impressive. He also beat an in-shape BJ Penn who everybody thought was unbeatable. Should be a good fight either way.

Tim Sylvia v. Jeff Monson I don't think will be very competitive. Jeff is 5'9" and Tim is 6'8". As long as Tim can stuff his takedowns and pepper him with punches I think it will be over soon. That being said I wouldn't mind an upset with Monson taking him to the ground and submitting him with a choke.

I wouldn't mind an upset either
with reguard to the HW division
it'd be good to see a grappler at the very top of the division, but there are too many strikers in UFC HW division that would be able to take Monson
if he does win, he'll be the champ defending and the underdog pretty much to every serious contender to come along
in my mind

with GSP I think he will defeat Matt Hughes
but if Matt wins I hope it's a long battle and not some quick pow into a submission cus GSP slipped, or vice versa

anybody else want to see GSP fight at 185 a bit?

Matt Hughes is funny when he fights it all depends on his opponents... with that being said GSP will come out strong but will ultimatley loose by stopage... Now Tim and Monsoon very interesting i have to say i'm no fan of either but this is such and awkward fight i have no idea what'll happen. Even if tim gets taken down Monsoon is to short or small to pass silvia's gaurd so ground and pound IMO is out of it. If i was a betting man i wouldn't bet on either... But i'll say Monsoon by submission in the first round...

GSP at 185? That won't happen.. Although i'd like to see him get owned GSP putting on 15 lbs of muscle and keeping his conditioning up to par just isn't gonna happen

I just watched Hughes/GSP I. Hughes converted a kimura attempt by GSP into an armbar. GSP didn't control Hughes' lower body at all and had been working a kimura anytime he was under Hughes.

Monson's got more in his arsenal than blind shots to work submission magic. Frank Mir locked a tight armbar on Silvia and Mir's grappling is nowhere near the level of Monson's. Mir lured Silvia in by moving in and out and Silvia came rushing in when Mir was near the fence.

I do agree that it would be bad for Monson to stand and trade with Silvia. Monson does have a good jaw though. He stood with Liddel and didn't get dropped.

It will take likely take Silvia more than one hit landing to KO Monson. It will only take Monson one shot landing to put Silvia on the ground.
