We're headed for a trilogy. Georges St. Pierre Dominated Matt Hughes during they're first meeting. His ground game and stand up are at least par with Matt's. The biggest difference is GSP is a much smarter fighter and can control every aspect of a fight. This time, he's like the terminator, he can't be stopped. It's time for a new champ and a new era and GSP is gonna kick it off. Canada will reign supreme

I been to Tijuana... Tourist areas are not really mexico.. they are set up to impress tourists.. go 5 miles or less from the resort and people are living in poverty.. no wonder they risk life and limb to sneak into the US we really do need a fence built..

If GSP is one of your favorite fighters thats cool but you should at least state facts. GSP was armbarred in the 1st round of their last fight and he did not dominate the ground game. He might this time but he did not the last time he was submitted.

one thing I noticed when people talk about past fights.. they talk as if only one of the fighters usually thier favorite one was the only practicing training and getting better since the previous meeting.. both fighters more then likely were doing such.. so both fighters were getting better more then likely so you can not go by saying well he's been working on this so it should be equal now.. its not like the other fighter has been frozen in time and not getting better

This is true. Most of the top fighters know the flaws in their own games and are working on them all the time. Some championship fights are kind of a joke (Arlovski/Buentello) and some can go either way (Hughes/GSP, Chuck/Babalu). The next couple of UFC cards are going to be interesting to watch.

yea am am going to be counting on people here to post the fights so I can see them.... can't affoard PPV's plus don't really want the kids watching this stuff until they are much older and understand that this is about competition not about trying to hurt someone

The PPV's in the states are expensive I know - wasn't 61 like $60 or something crazy?

They get sent here free (the UK) so long as you have the right cable/digital package to get Bravo. You ever tried, aherm, viewing it on the net?
I have a child too, aged 6, who is fight obsessed. Not because we have ever let him watch it, he just loves doing judo and learning how to strike. We have shown him a few very selective clips, of good tactical ground matches, but I agree it's not for the eyes of little people.

stop there isn't going to be a third fight, matt will walk away champ again cause that's what he does, hey gsp is super lucky he's even in this fight cause honestly bj won that fight, bj is a better striker, and forget about the ground game, i don't see losing his belt, and if he does it will be to mr penn

I don't think I would brag about the slam against Newton. I think that was more the laws of gravity and unluckyness for Newton. Hughes was out when him and Newton fell to the gorund.

Anyway, I can't wait for the fight. I see it being totally even, should be very interesting. Who ever has the bigger heart should win!

BJ did not win the fight. what one were you watching?

As much as i like GSP, i think Matt will win. i dont know why, GSP is far more athletic and has the skills but Matt somehow always pulls it off and im sure he will again.

Hmmm.... noone seems to remember how lightly Matt took BJ Pen in that fight, maybe you guys should re-rent that one. Not only that but Matt is at the top of his game. He beat GSP, Royce, Riggs all in the first round. Not to mention making Pride fighter Trigg look like he does'nt even belong in the same ring both times. Hughes is right now p4p the best mma fighter in the world, and anyone claiming otherwise is in denial....

Your an idiot Georges dominated Penn in two specific rounds Penn only won one round the one where St. Pierre began to bleed a tiny bit thats it. And Matt Hughes obviously could beat BJ Penn in a rematch. I'm a huge Georges fan and I have a feeling he won't beat Hughes because when Hughes trains hard (which he probably will since this is a hyped opponent) he always wins. Look what he did to Gracie. Not even PRIDE fighters did that to Gracie.

Trigg has only fought once in Pride, I wouldn't consider him a Pride fighter. It doesn't matter how lightly Matt took BJ, at the end of the day he got DOMINATED by a smaller guy, which hurts him trying to be the p4p best. Personally, I'm not going to consider Matt for the #1 spot until he beats BJ or until Fedor loses, since I have Fedor at the #1 spot.

matt hughes can beat GSP but not bj peen. BJ is a terrible matchup for hughes, he has better stand up and better jiu jitsu on the ground. Penn beat hughes very easily.

I wouldnt say GSP only bleeded a little buddy, he was sent to the hospital.

well one thing to considerd most fighters espcially after long hard fights go to the doctor or hospital to be checked over for any injury that might not be presently showing at the moment weather they won or lost, as a saftey precaution but in the case of a fighter who got beat and if it is badly they are going to more immeadiate concerns.. Hmm I wonder if the UFC hirres thier own EMTs to be at ring side or do they use the local guys... Hmmmm

The only thing that doesnt suck from canada is their beer, Canada is like a loft apartment over a great party

to correct the poster, hughes was not dominated, surprised a little, but not dominated. just the look on his face after the tap says that he was in a fight, but not one that bothered him too much. a little added preparation(not much prep in the 1st) and we'll see Hughes win by kimura.

oh man...Saying American beer is better than Canadian beer is a joke. I'm glad Americans think Canada sucks...that means they won't move up here LOL

I think Hughes is in for the fight of his life. If he doesn't realize that he's gonna get punished. The one thing Hughes has over GSP is the power. Which will give GSP a real hard time on the ground and in the clinch.

Penn vs Hughes would be good too since Penn really did quite well vs GSP, but he didn't win. He landed a couple hard shots in the first that made Peirre bleed, but GSP won the other 2 rounds. He brought the fight to him the whole time, bloody or not.

about Penn "sending" GSP to the hospital after the fight, well, like the other guy said ti's probably pretty common, but of course he went to the hospital - they had to check out his eye from getting poked, and his nose. 0_o
