UFC: Does Hughes WIN????

[ATHEIST]

how did BJ seperate his ribs? Matt didnt land anything in the first two rounds? BJ seperated them while he was trying for the triangle? it looked like BJ couldnt keep his hands up in the third more from conditioning rather than trying to protect his ribs. i was rooting for the local boy. Hughes vs. Pen III !

You know also BJ took this fight with a months notice.  He wasn't ready.  I can't say that is his excuse but thats all I can off for his cardio.

That's a BS excuse iMO.  He was scheduled to fight in Oct. so he should have been in shape.

That fact that this was the first title fight that was worth a damm (UFC)  should not go unnoticed. I think the fact that BJ had the cage to his back for so long before getting the armbar down. I'll let the JJ guys chime in. He looked gased but that triangle/armbar took alot out of him  and Hughes's strength and  to some extent the cage kept BJ from straightning the bar and ending the fight. All in all a pretty good UFC for a pretty light card.

Not an excuse and I guarantee he wouldn't use it but it is a fact.  And one month of additonal is allot.  He beat Matt easily in those two first rounds.  He got off the plane last night and could barely walk.  His rib and leg was hurt.  There will be a rematch and he will win.  In bothfights Matt never dominated BJ at any time except that 3rd round this weekend.  BJ defnitely didn't have the stamina.  That is his fault.  The thirdfight he will kill Matt.  Conditioning will not be a factor whatsoever.  I promise you that.  Hopefully he will be a huge underdog cause I am personally putting allot on him in the Sportsbook..

Wouldn't he have to fight GSP first?  IF MH beats GSP again?

Yeah because if GSP gets beat which i believe will happen, wouldnt the number 1 contender spot be open for grabs..
