everyone is saying GSP? I don't get it? Hughes beat him quickly last time. I am going with Hughes again, he's a beast.

GSP is doing a lot of seminars and training at various camps.  He isn't nearly as focused as he use to be.  I'm going with Hughes personally, GSP didn't really do much in the BJ Penn fight and I think Hughes can use his experience to win.

Tough one to call

George is the more talented fighter and is younger, but Matt is a machine.

I saw George about 2 months ago at Renzo's and actually had a 4 minute bjj match with him (Don't ask how it went).

His ground game and wrestling has really improved, so I don't see Matt submitting him again.

I'm gonna say George by knockout.

Are you guys on crack, No way GSP beats Hughes, couldn't do it before, won't do it again, as much as GSP is getting better, so is Matt, so get over it, Hughes will dominate, besides GSP is a fag canadian

true GSP is a "fag canadian" but he's a "fag canadian" that has improved since his first fight with Hughes.  I'm not making any predictions on this one, except that it should be a good fight

That's for sentimental reasons ;D

I wonder how much better Hughes can get; GSP is doing nothing but getting better.  It should be a great match.

This is easily the fight of the year.

Conventional wisdom might say Hughes's ground skills are too devastating but GSP is dangerous as hell. He's also the most exciting fighter to watch in the UFC.

My gut tells me GSP will be too much for Hughes but Hughes is so freakishly strong and his ground game is so good that who knows.

Either way it's going to be exciting as hell to watch.

This is a fight the fighters are waiting for.  Best match-up of the year.  Could go either way.

I hope GSP wins this one cos Matt Hughes seems like a Dick! Then maybe Hughes would have to fight BJ Penn to get another shot at the title.

If BJ wants a crack at Matt all he has to do is ask, or get himself into the number 1 contenders place. Matt will dominate GSP again, a win is all i can see and im willing to wager with anyone on that
Title: Re: Hughes vsSt Pierre
Post by: IronGame on July 24, 2006, 02:54:04 PM
I don't like Hughes, but ya gotta give credit where it is due.  He was already a terrific wrestler, and has improved every other area of his game.  I like Georges, and I hope he wins, but my gut tells me Hughes.

Dominate GSP again? Did you even see the first fight? Hughes didn't dominate shit. GSP got caught with the armbar at the end of the round. End of story. There wasn't any dominating on Hughes part at all. The round was pretty even with Hughes with a slight edge due to takedowns but he didn't get any ground and pound in while he was on top.

I'll take your wager simply because you don't know what you're talking about.

Matt Hughes has seemed like a dickhead lately, especially in that interview on ESPN. GSP calls him his idol and Matt's response is "That doesn't mean anything to me."

I despise Tim Sylvia, and am starting to think Matt Hughes is a dick too. I think they are both dicks.

I still see Hughes winning this fight by decision. I don't think he will dominate though.

OK, its a deal. £50.00 says matt Hughes wins the fight, hope you have Paypal. Not once did he look like he was going to win the fight IMO, Hughes was comfortable enough and worked in the submission

it's a little soon to be making wagers.  either one of them could have a small training injury that might make a big difference in the fight.  I would wait until the week of the fight to put money on it.

I would never bet on a man who doesn't even have time for a country breakfast ;D seriously though, Hughes is going to win, I ALWAYS pick the winners, ask superstar, he can vouch for me.

Speaking of picking winners....

Does anyone here agree with me and hope that Karo Paryisan beats the living shit out of that cocky, overrated, boring to watch, border jumping piece of shit known as Diego Sanchez? 

I think Karo is just the guy to do it and knock that beanhead down a step or two.

Can you all tell I don't like Sanchez?? ;D

that is the way you have to be before a tough fight. you don't want to be playing grab ass with the guy you are about to fight...matt has the mental game down really well.

i belive that hughes will beat gsp. i also think that deigo is a beast and is not overrated people say that because of how he got where he is but he is still a really good fighter and he has the heart to go along with his skills.

I like Sanchez OK, but I agree that Parisyan is much more well rounded.  Sanchez's weaknesses got exposed in his last fight...

Post by: Thin Lizzy on July 27, 2006, 11:09:25 PM
Here are two factors that could play into the Hughes/GSP fight.

1. Pressure - Most of it is on George. Matt has nothing left to prove. If he loses to the heir apparent, it won't tarnish his rep.  George, on the other hand, "needs" to win this fight or risk being put in the "close but no cigar" catagory. Edge - Hughes.

2. The Letdown - Matt is coming off the biggest, if not the best, fight of his career, defeating the legend. He might not be as motivated for a lesser known GSP. This fight is the biggest of GSP's career. Hard to see him lacking motivation. Edge - GSP

I'm admittedly partial, but I still think George will knock Matt out.

I really think Karo is going to beat Diego.  Karo will be his toughest opponent he's fought so far and Diego has looked like crap in his last 2 fights.  And I can't stand Diego.  His fights are boring and he sounds like a f'ing retard when he talks.

Whoa and u guys wonder why u have to wear Canadian flags on ur shit to go to other countrys ???
U might want to act a little more Canadian, then maybe ppl wont hate u so much!
Last time i checked Canadian troops where dieing to protect US interests in afganastan and getting hit with American frendly fire ta boot ??? so u might want to show some respect!
I like the US and most Americans but it's the ones like u that help kill all cred for ur country GOOD JOB NOOB!

I think GSP and Matt Huges will be one heck of a fight, ushally I'm good at picking winners but there both rock solid fighters with tons of heart so this could go either way. GOD I love those kind of fights!
