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 will win!

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

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.

A fag canadian that could beat the living shit of you.....

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.

Scimowser · « **Reply #15 on:** July 23, 2006, 12:31:44 PM »

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

IronGame · « **Reply #16 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.

FSUFan · « **Reply #18 on:** July 25, 2006, 12:41:30 PM »

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

What's the date of the fight? I'm down for the bet. I'll establish a paypal account on Ebay.

anyone know the odds?

IronGame · « **Reply #23 on:** July 25, 2006, 04:42:23 PM »

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

seriously though, Hughes is going to win, I ALWAYS pick the winners, ask superstar, he can vouch for me.
