oh man i think i just peed myself a little bit! St.Pierre vs. Hughes 3 and Liddell vs. Silva on the same night oh dude this is good!

tell me about it. UFC 79 is going to be great.

I’m torn now. I’m supposed to be covering the IFL GP Finals that same night at Mohegan Sun in CT.

drj
ur not going to miss watching the fight of the century are u.Watching it live and on tape are way different things

YES!!! this was the best case scenario in my opinion, i just wanna see them go at it again, i dont really care about the interim crap, but its great that its a 5 rounder. This will definately be more exciting than watching Hughes beat up Serra (though that would have been good too hehe).

AHHHHHHHHHHH! HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME!

Oh my gosh, my wife just hit me I was screaming and its like midnight in Kansas… hehe.. was gonna wake the neighbors…. this is the best AHHHHHHHHHHHH! I can’t believe this, this is way better than Serra vs Hughes…out of all the scenarios this is definately the best, although I just watched UFC on channel 8 .. the Hughes Penn 2 fight.. and man I would love to see the final fight in a trilogy fight between those two.. unfinished business man.. but hey GSP vs HUGHES 3 IS GONNA BE AWESOME! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I would trade 20 superbowls for this RJ.. this ISSSS GOOOOOD!

NOW we have PLENTY to post about, scenerios, for instance WHY did HUGHES pick this… he says he has reasons for this so I want to hear your opinions WHYYYYY!???

BV, RJ, RICH, TODD, PATRICK, AMIR, GATTIES, EVERYONE!

Probably to avenge his loss to GSP….he knows he made a big mistake the last fight…I think Hughes doesn’t even care if this is going to be an interim title fight or not, he just wants to fight GSP for the 3rd time and show everyone who is the better fighter…same as well for GSP he wants to be the top fighter in the WW div again…I think its all about the pride of being recognize as the top fighter in that div. the title doesn’t matter anymore
this is what the fans wanted, i guess this is also the fighters in WW wanted and its a great thing that finally this will happen
Im more excited about this fight than the Wand vs Liddell fight

i would trade 20 Superbowls for some reheated Taco Bell but i guess im not much of a football fan. and speaking of Superbowl and UFC, when is Superbowl end of Jan. right? this would have been the perfect card to run up against Superbowl, try to steal some viewers. i guess it doesnt matter one is Sun. the other Sat. oh well i guess football can survive for a few more years till MMA need more fans lol

i dont even want to pick a winner. GSP should be able to run over Hughes again (provided he doesnt get cough in an armbar or something) but its Hughes and his pride is not going to let him get killed this time. i think this fight will go the the last one did and end with a TKO in the 2nd or 3rd and St.Pierre will end up going champ vs. champ with Serra down the road.

I know. The IFL show should be over by around 10:30 or so, and since I’m on the east coast, the UFC events run from 10pm to 1am for me, so I should be able to catch the last few fights at home.

Still though, I may have to blow the IFL off for this one.

Well I agree, however, Hughes is gonna try to play it safe and play his game taking Pierre to the ground to fight, this should be intense.. its gonna be Matt going for takedowns over and over and GSP pancaking out and trying to hit Matt. This should be a showdown but I don’t think it will be AS easy for GSP again, Matt knows what he is gonna bring, and Matt was trying to win with striking last time like an idiot, trying to win by Faith alone.. which he should have brought his faith on top of a good game strategy and intense training, even he admitted that… he looked much stronger and bigger for the Penn fight previous to the GSP fight, so I look for Matt to survive much longer, and maybe even for a decision on this, if not I think GSP will pull the win again by knockout.. and I agree that the title is an afterthought for these two, its all about Pride right now…

I think this is definately what the hard core fans of MMA wanted for a WW fight Y, gotta say your on par there.

hughes just wants to avenge a loss and a really bad loss at that i dont think that hughes is gonna make the same mistakes as last time hughes all the way baby

[quote comment="11826"]hughes just wants to avenge a loss and a really bad loss at that i dont think that hughes is gonna make the same mistakes as last time hughes all the way baby[/quote]

Hughes will be tougher to beat, but did you see GSP’S ground defense in the KO’s fight??? He not only avoided KO’s take downs, but put the boy on his back and beat him senseless, GSP is NOT a wrestler, he is just GOOD at all things martial arts or MMA.. I am going with GSP here, he will win by KO TKO or UNANIMOUS DECISION..

i think if Hughes cant get to a side control position and hold GSP down and keep the elbows coming he will lose the fight. standing and boxing, lay n’ pray, ju jitsu are not going to work for Hughes in this fight. if Hughes cant dominate then he cant win, he needs to take away St.Pierre’s heart. St.Pierre on the other hand has got to remember Hughes is not Koscheck and hes not going to be able to out wrestle Hughes. Koscheck could be a better wrestler then Hughes but the difference is Hughes is a true mixed martial artist and his wrestling style is just as much about damaging you as it is controlling you. i see St.Pierre using his insane striking and awesome take down defense to keep this fight right where he needs it to be and picking Hughes apart in 2 or 3 rounds.

rj
u talk about gsp’s heart i doubt he has more heart than hughes.Koscheck in my mind is still a really good wrestler that holds people on the mat and every once in a while adds a little rear naked choke in there,so for sure if i know this gsp knows this and he wont take hughes litely

nah i wasnt trying to say GSP has a super huge heart or anything i was just saying if you take away St.Pierre’s drive to win thats how your going to beat him. if Hughes holds St.Pierre down and elbows his face for 3 or 4 rounds St.Pierre will lose his heart and lose the fight. St.Pierre will have to take control and keep it stop Hughes from pinning him to the mat and smashing his head.

I agree RJ.. understood it the first time you posted, but I really cannot see GSP “falling” for that game again… he knows what beats Hughes, he did it in devastating fashion last year around the same time and he will come in with a similar plan.. Hughes likes a medium to slow pace, so GSP came in with a high octane fast pace, Hughes likes the ground, so GSP stood back, keeping the distance, striking to keep Hughes from even getting a take down, and so if GSP comes in with the same lightning speed, strikes, and distance/timing he will do the same thing again.. barring an injury, GSP has this one in the bag, I would have to say, if Penn hadn’t separated his muscle from the rib in his last fight with Hughes he would have won, he was killing Hughes in that fight, my point is Hughes is VERY beatable, and GSP is going to AGAIN show it, this isn’t complicated..

A closer match up would be Penn GSP but of course Dana needed a flagship for the lightweight division in Penn so that eliminates the possibility of that fight for a long time…

I know everyone is pulling for GSP in this fight.. but incase nobody noticed, im with Hughes baby!! hehe.

RJ that was an accurate account of what each guy has to do to win the fight. I think Hughes WILL dominate now that he proved to himself that he cant stand with GSP. Hughes is his own worst enemy in terms of ego and all that, i hope this time he doesnt get caught up in thinking hes a striker and he fights his fight. Im sure if Hughes goes back to what made him the most dominant WW champ in UFC history he will win this fight.

What everyone says is how GSP is gonna pick him apart and KO him and all this. Nobody mentions what would happen if they went to the ground, Hughes will dominate. I dont think GSP has the BJJ to beat Hughes, at best he could avoid submissions and get beat up. Ya he loves the side control like RJ said but if it gets to that point its already over in my opinion.

GSP is good at BJJ but he just doesnt have the flexibility and imagination that Penn does. I also think BJ would have a better chance at beating Hughes than GSP on the ground atleast.

LOL yo, watch this video guys 30 sec, Matt Hughes vs Tim Sylvia..

I see your points BV.. I don’t agree with the Hughes victory.. have fun supporting him, I think that GSP has come a mile from their first fight, and 2 miles from their second, every fighter grows as they get older and more fights under their belt so to speak, I think that GSP was a huge fan of Hughes, he has said that, but the child has outgrown the parent, Hughes is older, he has been less than stellar in his past 3-4 fights, and I don’t think GSP will get taken down easily, if you watch the last one, Hughes TRIED to take GSP down a couple times and failed … he tried to stand and failed, I think GSP know where not to go and his cardio and strength will keep him from getting taken down easily… only advantage to Hughes is the championship rounds, taking GSP to deep water might help him, but other than that, I think in all practicality its GSP for the win, I am betting on GSP, and I am cheering on both fighters because it would be great for either fighter to win..

Hey BV how much of your bankroll are you willing to put on Hughes beating GSP?

[quote comment="11839"]Hey BV how much of your bankroll are you willing to put on Hughes beating GSP?[/quote]

hehe not all that much, its a close matchup, similar to the chuck and wand thing. Theyre both gonna be great to finally see and no respect will be lost to any of the 4 guys, theyre great fighters and great champs.

Kansas lets just say i was SOOO much more confident when it was Hughes vs Serra lol.

you guys see mmaplayground is giving Hughes the underdog bonus. i think Hughes is the underdog in this fight but not that much of an underdog to put a bonus on him winning. this is a fight that could very easily go ether way.

i tried to get the Vegas odds for Hughes vs. St.Pierre i would like to see how they are calling it.

As for GSP getting better etc.. im sure he did, hes still not a Hughes level on the ground tho. About Hughes lack luster fights lately, he madea statement on TUF 6 about how he wasnt training like he should have lately, family etc. He said now he plans to make a statement in his last few fights and he wants to be the best he can be.

Also, lets not forget that GSP didnt look too great in his last few performances either hehe. Especially not being able to get even 1 title defense after stating repeatedly that he is not underestimating his opponent (Serra) then after losing saying that he actually DID underestimate him and didnt train hard enough for the fight.

But besides all that and everything thats happened in the past, both these guys are gonna train their azzz off for this fight and i hope there will be no excuses when its over.

LOL RJ man, they have their heads up their azzz for sure, like how they had Sylvia as a 3:1 underdog vs Vera. I wish those were real odds, id put some REAL money on it man hehe. Its a toss up, theyre both great fighters and anyone can win.

All im saying is standup GSP, ground Hughes…

I have a couple thoughts

1. You don’t have to be a fan of “TUF” to be a fan of Matt Serra. I was a fan of Matt Serra when he sucked, thank you very much.

2. This shouldn’t be for an interim title, simply a #1 contenders spot. I hat the “interim” title thing and I wish the UFC would stop doing it.

3. GSP wins and I never get to see Hughes vs Serra, which would suck.

I’m not saying you have to be a TUF fan to like Serra. I’m saying that if you watch TUF, you would have gotten the joke I made about Serra always yelling “Breathe, breeeaaathe” to his guys when he corners them on the show.

I think when GSP beats hughes, and then beats serra, we can still see the hughes vs serra match

i dont think half as many people would care half as much about Hughes vs. Serra without the show. Serra and Hughes are both saying “i just wanna shut him up, the title is just the icing on the cake” now this could be true for Serra i dont believe for a second that Hughes just wants to beat up Serra and the title is secondary. if Serra wasnt holding the title Hughes would not be fighting him no matter how much sh*t he was talking. Hughes would not step down in comp. to fight someone like Serra unless he has to. the show made people want to see that fight and theres nothing wrong with that its a great idea to make more money getting people hyped about a potentially boring fight. I am a TUF fan and i dont think that means im a noob and i dont know about MMA i just really like to watch fights and they show fights. i use to watch MMA when we called it NHB but that doesnt mean i cant be a fan of TUF of the fighters they showcase. dont be stuck up TUF is still an MMA show its ok to watch it.

I agree 100% RJ, im an old school mma fan and i love TUF, especially TUF 4 the comeback. That was craaaazy man, if you havent seen it, download it, though the ending is kinda spoiled hehe. Look at the fighters they had, all the coaches over the seasons, how can you not like that show??

i think your not a hardcore mma fan if you DONT watch TUF, or would you rather watch everybody loves raymond or something lame like that….

uhhh.. Gatties, how can you say you were a fan of Serra when he sucked? do you know him personally or something? cuz first time i saw Serra was at abu dhabi, and he was alreasy a blackbelt in BJJ, you can hardly say the guy sucked.. tho he was still a B level fighter, and he still is in my opinion..

It means Patrick that if Serra comes back ready before 12 months downtime is up, he gets to fight the “interim, (interim means “to step in or to FILL IN”, for the champ in this case) title holder, both are title holders, one will walk away as the UNDISPUTED champion. If Serra cannot fight within 12 months of his LAST fight, he forfeit the title and the Interim champ automatically gets the title, no longer interim, by default.

David Terrell has suffered broken a toenail on the left foot making it uncomfortable to walk, therefore, he will be unable to fight Matt Hughes at UFC 79…

UFC matchmaker Joe Silva has released the following statement:

“Due to recent events, we are announcing a 3-man tournament to be held in July of 2015 to sort out the status of the welterweight division.
