GSP may pull out of Hughes fight.
« on: August 20, 2006, 02:50:03 PM »
For those of you who haven't heard, GSP sustained a groin injury in training and may be forced to pull out of his fight.  He did fly in an expert to help rehab the injury, but it prevents him from doing any grappling.  His camp is positive and says there is a good chance he will still fight, but in the event that he dosen't, a Penn/Hughes rematch could be in the works.  Expect an announcement later in the week regaurding GSP status, plus another big UFC announcement at the UFC 62 weigh ins. ( I hope it has nothing to do with Shammy/Tito) 
Predictions
 40/61

imo , GSP was controlling the pace and actually winning the scorecards on that fight up until he over-committed with that kimura from the bottom... then matt had a nice counter

How do you get GSP was winning on the cards, it was pretty even, he hit that spinnng kick, but that was it, no one had dominated to that point, come on, GSP is great and will be the future of UFC, but Hughes is the present, get over it!

I can deal with a Penn/Hughes rematch.
