Must be alot of Broken Right Hands, or Drug Tests that need a 2ND test.
Hughes was given 2 months bed-rest for lying on Serra for a round-and-a-half and calling it “octagon control”.
Seriously, I just can’t let it go!!!!
I read that same report but you are quoting the wrong part….he was prescribed limes for 2 months for the bed rest he had during the fight.
Its precautionary to prevent scurvy.
GARRULE DUDE GET OVER THE LOSS… HUGHES WON THE FIGHT STOP YOUR BICHING BRO ITS GETTING ANNOYING
HAHAHA! That’s hilarious GaRule!
YZFOXRACING, relax, you know Hughes lost! Or at least a draw. You get over it!
HONESTLY IM A HUGHES FAN YEAH AND I PERSONALLY THOUGHT HE LOST. IM TIRED OF PEOPLE BICHING ABOUT SH!T THAT YOU CAN’T CHANGE. SPECIALLY DECISIONS.
All this talk about Hughes….he’s not the first or last guy to win a fight like that. Sean Sherk won the 155 title against Florian by just laying on him also.
People that’s the way it is, it’s never going to change,Clay Guida,Matt Hughes,Sean Sherk, all these guys do it, so we just have to deal with it, wait for someone with great takedown defense to knock the out.
THANK YOU… I AGREE…
