UFC 65: Hughes vs. St. Pierre
 

Tomorrow night is UFC 65 and the main event is the rematch between Champion Matt Hughes and #1 contender G. St. Pierre.


I know Matt submitted him very quick in the first fight, but that was a long time ago and both fighters have come a long way since. Not sure GSP can beat the champ this time, but I do see that GSP is the future of this division because of his age and skill.

Big fan of both these guys so not sure who I will be rooting for but it is sure to be a good fight.

Anyone have any thoughts on how this will go?

I feel the same way you do ... I'm having a hard time picking a side on this one. in the ultimate fighter show Matt did come off as a bit of a dick so maybe a loss will put him in check a bit

Yeah I agree about the show and how he came off. Its strange to me because we have been watching this guy (Matt Hughes) for years now before, after, and during fights and he has NEVER come off as anything but a really down to earth farm boy. But in the show he really came off looking like a dick. Maybe some creative editing???

I mean even in the live interview they did last Sat night he was very polite, soft spoken, and proffesional even complimenting GSP several times when he didn't have to.................

Who knows!! It will be a good fight thats for sure!

:thumbsup

hughes looked like shit in his last fight, this might be St. Pierre's time
Then again, franklin's loss might have snapped hughes into reality and pushed him to train harder...

fuck it, it's a tossup...can't wait to see it

I call two new Champs. St. Pierre, Monson. Quote that!

Go GSP, Cant wait for the fight I love this guy, especially cause hes french canadian :)

Not sure if will Hughes will take him. I Watched his previous fight on Spike TV last night. Tough call.

4th round TKO win for Hughes, or GSP knocks him out sometime early in the fight is my prediction.

The only real advantage GSP has is his striking. Matt's combos suck and he doesn't have KO power in him, GSP does.
If GSP can stop the take down(which he probably can with his strengh and speed, atleast in the first few rounds) and land his shots it'll be a rough night for Matt.

But if GSP can't finish or atleast wear Matt down in the early rounds I think the advantage will start to go to Matt.

Should be a great fight, can really go either way.

Matt didn't submit him quickly last fight. In fact Matt was loosing on the score cards, GSP was ahead.

Not taking anything away from Hughes, the step around armbar defense from the Kimura was beautiful, and is a testament to Hughes BJJ skills.

It is going to be a war.

I would love to see GSp win. I am just not sure he can pull it off. I will be cheering for him. I would also like to see Monson beat Silvia. It should be interesting to see a real short guy fight a real tall guy. In my opinion, Silvia is over rated.

Can't wait for the fights!

It will be a hell of a fight :thumbsup And I think your boy Monson is going to DESTROY Silvia. I like Silvia, but Monson is just scary :helpme

St-Pierre all the way!! Go Quebec!!

hard to pick against hughes, but GSP is the only one in that division in the UFC that has any shot at beating Hughes at all. If he fails, Hughes will continue to be the champ for a very long time

St. Pierre will win.

He did not sleep at all before the first fight, admitted Hughes was his idol and choked in the ring. He gave the fight away with an easy mistake.

This won't happen this time because St. Pierre lost a lot of respect for Hughes. This time it will be a fair match mentally and physically.

AMERICAN TOP TEAM 4 LIFE!!!! :)

WAR MONSON!

WOOOHOOOO.. I have been waiting for this one!

There is a chance Matt is going down tomorrow night..


I wish they would hurry up and bring back The Pitbull... Andrei Arlovski
His mouthpiece turns me on lolol seriously lol
the vampire look suits him very well lolol

GSP is going to take matt downnnnn

Although I really like Matt.. I dont know if he is up to this fight.

What's an easy mistake?

You mean, got out grappled on the ground?

You too Peekers, can get your own fang mouthguard! :)

GSP will WIN!!!

Submitting him at 2 sec from the beginning or 1 sec from the end don't matter.

St-Pierre dominated the show the whole first round until he got caught up in a bad break... he's so much better...

St-Pierre is gonna take the belt tomorrow.

Same here. About the Monson / Silva fight I don't know the fighters really well but from what I've seen it will be 2 new UFC champs.

Quoted :)

What up Lance? I saw Paul in LA last week. Hit me up 153834939

GSP will get his ass handed to him like last time


French Canadians can not and should not fight!!!


:321GFY :1orglaugh :321GFY

Gonna be GREAT !

can't wait :thumbsup

would love to see St Pierre take the Belt
great fucking fighter

i dont think so :)

Consider yourself hit.

As for Silvia Monson, Silvia is actually far better than a lot of people give him credit for. He can actually kickbox and grapple now. With much of the credit going to the Militech team. Though he isn't the monster he is made out to be. His biggest asset is his size and hitting power, but I think Monson can neutralize all that. And for those that haven't seen him he is kinda strong too....

Silvia will beat Monson... Unfortunately :(

Hughes will win and Silvia is going to suprise you Monson supporters. You underestimate how hard these guys train. St Pierre got a raw deal in the media before the spike fight but can you blame Dana for making his champ look good? I just hope these fights are as good as the Spike freebies.

American Top Team 4 Life!!!

Monson Will Destroy That Redneck Silvia!!!

Weigh in pics...

I've only seen Matt Hughes fight. The guy is tough. I've only seen clips of his opponent. I think Matt will take him.

HAHAHAHA THEY HAVE THE VAMPIRE TEETH lol

I wish I would have bought some before I went to the Gracy/Hughes fight in LA.. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You are fucking dumb for saying this ... just look at the TKO lineup.

Monson should beat Silva but I can't guarantee that. But I'm sure St-Pierre will beat Matt... that's not even a question.

P.S. you don't know shit about MMA after you just made this statement.

When you don't know much about something you shouldn't talk.
Period.

Sylvia will win. Early in the first round.
Hughes will win be a split decision.

would be my predictions now.

I'l just laugh at you guys tomorrow.

Anthony seems to be the only guy really knowing what he's talking about. .. he won't even make any prediction ;)









P.S. Hugues is even talking about retirement you fucking tards. He MIGHT win but you can't just predict that he will... bookies will probably show better rates for Hugues then St-Pierre by tomorrow...

You seem unussually hostile on this thread. A bit out of character for you IMO.


I follow pretty close and have seen and read all recent interviews with Matt and in some he has been asked specifically how much longer he will be around..........never heard him say anything about retiring and in fact he has insisted he has many years left in him.

Like I said when I started this thread.............I believe GSP is the future of this wieght class, I just don't know if he is ready to take the crown yet. Tonight we shall see. But to talk about GSP winning as if it is a for gone conclusion and anyone who doesn't see it are idiots???? I believe the Vegas ods have the champ as a stronge favorite going into the fight tonight so not everyone shares your opinion.

Me....................i don't care who wins I just think it will be a great fight no matter!

Enjoy it everyone! :thumbsup

It's the top 2 Welterweights, anyone can win. But I have my money on GSP!

As for Heavyweight... THE SNOWMAN MONSON!!!

WAR MONSON!!!

WAR AMERICAN TOP TEAM!!!

It will be some great fights, can't wait

T-minus 2 minutes and counting :)

1st prediction came true!!!

Brandon Vera KTFO Frank Mir! Meanest Filipino in MMA!

Mabuhay Brandon!!!

Watching it now :)

This is interesting

UFC is still going on? Outstanding.

That was Silva 4 out of 5 rounds.

Nothing to be ashamed of, Jeff Monson had heart, had the chance to finish, but couldn't do it.

Saved By The Fucking Bell!!!
