hes got bragging rights...
As a champion, you get bragging rights...
Smart champions know not to mouth off too much because they might eat those words later and look like an idiot...
But Matt IS the champion and he has the right to mouth off as much as he wants... but eventually *all* champions lose which will make the bowl of crow that much bigger
IMHO, it gonna come down to whether GSP can fend off Matts takedown...
Matts first attempt will illustrate whether GSP has trained enuf to shut him down...
Should Matt be forced into a standup game, he's done.
But should Hughes unrelenting shoot for the takedown be successfull during the start/middle of a round, Matt will "dry hump"(as nickman9000 so eloquently put it) GSP till the decision.
Kinda makes you wish points werent given on simply just the "takedown" per se... if they treated that as a precursor and gave points on the followup, that would make for a hellava lot more action and balance out these crappy "dry hump" decision wins (Im luving that term nickman9000!... thanks!)
