Impressive in being able to keep Hughes in half guard like that and avoid any dangerous situations on Alves' part. Hughes really needs to tune up on setting up a takedown. Showed some alright knees.

Anyway, still completely unprofessional on Alves' part, and insulting. Ha, even more so when he asked for a title shot, Dana didn't look like he agreed.

Hey Alves, you know there are ways of doing cardio without your feet. And hey, there is always the sauna.

I don't know, I think GSP traumatized Hughes or something lol.

Alves looked like a giant in there with Hughes, it's pretty obvious he's fighting in the wrong weight class. He wasn't sporting any blubber so I don't know how much more weight he can cut. Not sure what pisses me off more, that Hughes fought a guy who was MUCH bigger than him or that he sustained what looked like a pretty serious injury doing so. I really hope this doesn't postpone the Serra fight, but I want to see him fighting healthy, man this sucks in every way possible for a Hughes fan. I really hope Dana does not give Alves a shot at GSP, maybe a shot at Anderson if he can get through Ace.

Hughes just looks slow these days, or perhaps everyone else is just a little faster. He doesn't have that explosivness or drive through power he did 5 years ago. GSP however, does....and he has it in spades. Plus, his striking is good enough, and varied enough to keep Alves more off balance. Everyone knows Hughes is not a threat on the feet, and all you have to worry about is the takedown...as such, guys are more prepared to defend it.

I think GSP will take Alves down at will, pass his guard, beat on him for a while until Alves gives up a submission. Alves needs to damage GSP on the feet if he hopes to win against him...something he can do, but GSP won't give him a lot of opportunities to do it....so he has to make the ones he gets count.
