I'm surprised, I thought GFY would be all over this!

But yes, Hughes got it handed to him *BADLY*, he was never in it and clearly St.Pierre brings one of the most dynamic and exciting games to the sport. For so many matches you see UFC fighters tapping back and forth, takedown, full guard, etc etc etc etc etc.

Nice to see someone bring a unique style to the sport and be successful, whomever is going to beat Georges is going to need something more than grappling and takedowns or even boxing skills.

The heavyweight fight was disappointing as Sylvia was content to keep blocking Monson all 5 rounds - though he did an incredible job at it. As much respect as he deserves for his wins, that's 2 straight fights where he has basically bored the crowd to sleep.

Thankfully, the other matches and main event were thrilling, one of the better UFC cards in awhile.
