Once again, I agree with my boy 6SL. Complete mismatch. Dana wanted to see if Alves was ready for this spot, well, the weigh-ins answered that question for all of us.
Guys, Hughes is a MULTIPLE TIME UFC Welterweight Champion. He's been at the top of the mountain MANY TIMES before, Alves on the other hand, is not even close yet. He's not ready for this main event spot, and it SHOWS by him missing weight. WTF? Rookie mistake, and it wasn't even as bad as Lutter! It was FOUR f'n POUNDS. He wasn't even CLOSE. That's ridiculous. There goes his potential title shot **IF** he happened to come out victorious.
Anyway, look for Hughes to go back to his old ways, and this fight will be eerily reminiscent to his fight with Lytle. Hughes handles the striking, gets in on the shot, gets the takedowns and controls from top position most of the fight. Remember, Hughes is a grunt on top, and the only guy to EVER completely DOMINATE him was Georges St-Pierre. I laugh OUT LOUD at the fact that American Top Team is comparing Thiago Alves to St-Pierre, pertaining to this fight. Give me a f'n break.
Hughes via one of two things, either a late G-n-P stoppage, or Unanimous Decision.
