So who's going to take it?
I've underestimated Penn way to many times to say Hughes will walk away with it. but at the same time hughes has improved so much in the last few years I highly doubt that Penn will be able to control him much if at all.
I can't see it going much further than about half way through the second round, but I'm split as to who will win it. It could go either way although I'm leaning towards Hughes taking it since I think Hughes would have beaten George St. Pierre and Penn didn't perform strongly enough against GSP to convince me he can take Hughes.
.........
What other fights are people gearing up for? There should be some good ones in the next little while. |

Yeah first fight i've been hyped for since the Shamrock beating (i wouldn't call that a fight).
I as much as i think Hughes is the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC I also think if there was anyone in the welterweight divison that can beat him its BJ. Similar styles and strengths. Plus BJ's beat him before. However yeah that was a couple years ago and Hughes has been getting better and BJ has been meh.
Either way I think we may finally be in a for a great fight. I'll call Hughes as the winner but would love to see an upset. |

| I have talked with matt hughes over email. My buddie knows him so I got the change to chat with him before the gracie fight. I honestly think hughes is going to win it first round by ground and pound. Or via submission. There is no way its going all the way to the judges |

Penn looked totally finished as a fighter after GSP. He didn't look like he wanted to fight anymore.
I loved Penn in his lighter weight class days, but he's just not as fast and dynamic as he used to.
Money's on Hughes. |

Hughes by TKO (strikes)
Hughes has progressed a lot since his loss to Penn...Penn also has 2 loses in his last 3 fights (granted one was to a HW) and his last 4 fights have gone to decisions. You just never know which BJ Penn is going to show up on any given night...too bad, the guy is incredibly talented, but I don't know if his heart is really in it. He either gassed or flat out stopped fighting after the 1st round loss to GSP.
There's no way I see this one going to a decision either...2nd round max.
As for other fights...I think Loiseau/Swick is the fight to watch on that card...even moreso than Hughes/Penn.
Loiseau via elbow massacre! ;)
did you guys watch the Pride OWGP recently and see Cro Cop's vicious domination of Wanderlai Silva...I picked Cro Cop to win, but wow!!! :wtf: |

Esp. if Loiseau gets on top of Swick. Loiseau is like a mongoose. So slick and deadly. Swick has heart, but I don't think he'll cut it against Loiseau.
I'd love to see Loiseau do that ninja kick for a TKO again though. Who said TKD had no place in MMA? ;)
