Matt Hughes: St-Pierre vs. Fitch “Wasn’t The Most Exciting”
“I went there really to watch one fight, probably not the one you’re expecting. I went there to watch Brock Lesnar. He is so interesting because he is so athletic as well as being so powerful. So that fight went just like I thought it would, Brock took him down whenever he wanted and on the ground he did whatever he wanted. I was also there watching my buddy, Roger, but he didn’t quite look the same. I don’t think him or Kenny fought their best fight on Saturday. Roger looked to have done a few things different and I would say that he needs to go back to what he was doing before.
The last fight of the night was Georges and Fitch. Georges didn’t look as big as he has before and he seemed like he had gotten tired from the first round. Fitch had the game plan of countering Georges and you just can’t do that. You can’t counter a quicker fighter. To be honest, halfway in the third round I got up and walked out of the arena and went to my hotel. The fight wasn’t the most exciting and I wanted to get out of there before everyone else was getting up to leave.”
In a post on his official blog, former UFC welterweight champion and future UFC hall of famer Matt Hughes shares his thoughts on UFC 87 “Seek and Destroy”, particularly the performance of current UFC 170-pound champion Georges St-Pierre.

u mean u dint want to see ur belt round gsp matt dont worry if BJ moves up an fights him it will soon be round his,
I guess I dont understand comments like this… because this fight, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! It wasnt like they were circling all night or laying on each other….there were great strikes…very exciting….even though it was a decision…i liked the fight a lot… but i guess im in the minority here..
hahaha thats awesome…. He couldnt counter the quicker fighter either and almost got his arm ripped off literally haha, Fitch would own Hughes and i think he knows it thats why he was like wow i will never be able to beat either of these guys, iam past my prime, im going to go cry in my room alone.. or atleast thats how i invision it…
I don’t think he’s washed up, I think the sport evolved and left him behind and he’s very bitter. He was just up-set because Fitch went the distance and GSP walked right through
him (hughes). Now he’s fored to look at himself in the morror.
Then there was the comment that Alves isn’t a top 5 fighter in the division. Alves walked through him on a bad ankle. If he isn’t a top 5 fighter then where does that put Hughes?
MATT your an ass.. RETIRE and take care of the farm… let the real fighters fight..
Was there another kenny florian fighting that night?because i thought he executed a perfect gameplan for huerta.But then again who am i to argue with an x champ.
THUWAK
thats kind of what i was thinking i just didn’t want to sound so insensetive.
that just hurt me… i respected him but come on man that is one of the best fight ive ever seen… just because gsp said that about him…
So, I guess if he would have taken a knee in the first round and was knocked out or if was beat at his own game and then had to scream to tapout, then it would have been more exciting. Geez….I hope Serra wins!
Kris, i want to fighter bash but i wont haha, still funny that he wanted to see the bigger stronger wrestler dominate that particular fight, kinda like he use to do before GSP came around and left with his belt…
HA HA HA HA your so right…. “i can’t tap I CAN’T TAP?!”
Hughes/Serra is the kind of fight I’d expect to see headline an affliction event…. Nothing about Hughes is exciting …oh, except that knee to the face from Alves. That was epic.
FR702;
Don’t you mean left with his right arm?
Matt Hughes is just bitter, he has no business taking shots like these. Time to get one more in against a guy he can beat,(Serra), and get out while he still has any brains left. G.S.P dominated him the last 2 times they fought. You would think he woul’ve learned by now.
the only reason hughes is ACTING like he’s showing no interest in the fight is because he knows he can’t beat either one of them.It would be like me saying i’m not interested in jesica alba because i know i’ll never get her.Then again that’s more likely than hughes regaining the title.
timcat, yes his right arm and the interim belt, not that i dislike Hughes all that much but he needs to stop taking shots at GSP just because he wont ever be able to beat the “new and improved” GSP, UFC 79 was the possibly the most dominant proof that Hughes has no answer for GSP now
i agree he can’t beat gsp but i personaly think he’ll beat serra…
You were bored Matt because you have already seen GSP fight up close (real close) twice. Seeing him woop someone elses ass must be boring to you. I understand, sour grapes. GSP definitely got tired after the first round after the work he did trying to put Fitch away. He then had to pace himself for awhile. However, that fight was anything but boring. You were much more boring in your fights against GSP. You had nothing for him. At least Fitch lasted much longer than you.
I am sure he does look smaller from your point of view sitting out in the crowd. He would probably look much bigger if you were standing across the ring from him, but there is no need to waste our time with a boring fight like that again, is there?
I used to be a big fan of yours Matt, but your attitude sure does stink. I used to think you were just a nice country boy. Someone with a small ego that would just get in the ring and get business done and go home to his family. Your comments are showing an ugly side of you. But hey, whatever, you have made your money and now you can show the real you because it doesn’t matter anymore does it? You should really just stay nice and respect everyone.
Hughes is past his prime, jealous and knows that even Fitch would beat him. Hughes knows he is done. Hughes needs to fight Serra and call it a career. How the F do you leave a fight early? WTF is that garbage?!? You never know what is going to happen. I don’t care who was winning…..you just don’t leave. I actually find it slightly disrespectful on Matt’s part for leaving early. Since when were his fights the most exciting ever? As a fighter he has been great but his actions show more and more of his cocky penisheaded side and I see where Serra is coming from.
One more thing…. I hope Serra beats the **** of Hughes in humiliating fashion. I doubt it will happen that way but it is my wish.
matt needs to go back to MFS if he ever wants to end his legacy on a good note!
without pat militech hughes will get detroyed by serra..the H.I.T. squad is a bad team
We all know Hughes is done, but I do agree Fitch shouldn’t have tried to counter GSP. His jab was way to quick for him. He did his best work in the 2nd when he chased and threw the 1st punch. That’s when GSP got bloodied and that’s the reason his face at the post fight looked battered.
tuf 9 should be coached by greg jackson and pat melitch… that would be awesom…
yeah or no?
its Matt Hughes publically trying to let everyone know that he wasnt impressed just like GSP did to him, well just like everything else Hughes tries to do GSP did it better…..
Gun, i noticed that as well since Hughes has left MFS he simply hasnt foughten the same
YZ, or Greg Jackson and Bob Cook, haha you know that i believe that “real coaches” should coach the next T.U.F season….
I think more fighters would come out each season. it would be more competive… im starting to get burned out of the tuf season cuz not much changes. all though i like how they had to fight to go to the house…
Ugh I hate to agree with Matt but with the exception of one shot GSP gave to fitch with TERRIBLE follow up, it wasn’t that great of a fight. GSP should have owned him hands down. He was meek and that’s why it appeared he had lost a step. I do think GSP was right though… Fitch very well could be THE MAN to beat in a couple years.
This kind of upsets me. When I first started watchin UFC and any other MMA Matt Hughes was one of the guys I kinda looked up to. He was a good ambassador of the sport and made it not so street fight and more of a sport (in my mind). Then his antics on the TUF season with Serra coaching the other team was kinad self-centered. He really annoyed me making the entire season about him and his legacy on the sport, then this really pi$$e$ me off. I think he is just bitter about getting manhandled by GSP. He reminds me of those two old men that sit in the blacony during the old Muppets shows (Statler and Waldorf). This is really just Matt being mad at Matt for being old and watching the world and the MMA game pass him bye.
TJ,
Totally agree with you. I am disgusted as a fan that the former champ would walk out of a fight early. Especially when the fight taking place has a fighter who took your title. Fitch was able to go the distance and took a massive beating. That alone gave people a reason to stay and watch. Matt is just a grumpy old man…..he’s not even that old but his body probably feels like hell. I just can’t get over it…..LEAVING EARLY?!?! Maybe he’s a dodgers fan too.
I don’t understand how anyone could knock GSP.He man handled fitch and beat him in every aspect of the fight.And i’m a fitch fan.Lets not forget just how good fitch is i dont think there’s anyone in the world that would have a chance at finishing fitch other than gsp.I can see being upset that he didn’t finsh but not suprised.
how can you leave early im sure his seats alone were almost 1K and walking out of possibly the fight of the year…
I cannot believe some people are saying this fight was not that good a fight. I myself was well excited, and was alomost pi**ing my pants when GSP knocked fitch down, not once, twice, but many times. I was like, ” how much can fitch take ? and can he compose himself after a beating ~? ”
you know what ? he did I think. He went 5 rounds with GSP, and not many have. I though Fitch was pretty good. But, with all this comes the price of wanting to win this fight sooooooooo much, that he was too cautious I think.
I honestly thought the ref was going to stop it in the 1st round, but fitch came through and pushed another 4 rounds. He has my respect totally for this fight.
As for Hughes leaving the fight early, what a twat. I thought alot of Matt, but when he says crap like this, how can you still respect him like you did before ?
I mean, like someone said earlier, I find it dis-respectful aswell. How dare he leave the fight half way thru, I mena, if someone left thru one of his fights he’d be pissed about it.
GSP will always be too much for hughes, so he’s now just downing him cos he has to admit to defeat forever.
Fitch will be a very good fighter to come back and have another pop at the title I think, even if GSP doesn’t have it at that time.
I would love to see GSP FITCH 2, and also GSP PENN
that would be ace.
bring it on !!!
and matt hughes, don’t bother wasting a seat in the ufc next time cos you have no respect at all. That was out of line I thought. I could understand if it was in the middle of Ken Shamrock vs Dan Severn like 12 or 13 years ago when they circled for like 30 mins. THAT was worthy of walking out of, not this fight.
What a plum.
Matt Hughes is a dick, he’s just mad because he’ll never wear the belt again. He’ll be lucky if he beats Matt Serra when they fight….
This is crazy, Matt is being a d!ck. I really don’t like Serra so I always took Hughes side durring their feud even though he pi$$ed me off with his bible thumping. But this is different. It is petty jealousy. His guy Huerta lost to a better fighter. Booo hooooo… What is he talking about Florian looked great. He picked Huerta apart. yes Lesnar was impressive but to say he was able to do what ever he wanted isnt true. On the ground all he could do is basically lay on top of Herring. If that is what he wanted to do then sure but I think brock wants to be able to submit and really pound on people from the ground. The GSP comment is pure BS jealousy and serious disrespect not only to GSP and Fitch but to the sport and fans alike. Also, what is up with poeple saying that if a fight goes to decission some how it is a bad fight? Some of the greatest fights I can remember have gone to decission including the fight touted as the greatest ever in griffin bonnar. GSP did dominate Fitch. Almost any other fighter wouldnt have made through the third round. It is a testament to Fitch and not a nock on GSP. I think BJ will lose to GSP and also I think he doesnt deserve to fight GSP. He needs to win a fight in the weight class before he is given a title shot. F both the Matts
I agree. BJ should beat Jon Fitch first. And maybe even fight Florian.
I want GSP vs Alves next.
He had better make weight though.
Alves doesnt doserve a title shot and hughes only got dominated by GSP because hes getting to old and i agree it was that exciting as i thought i would be i can’t believe GSP didnt just finish Fitch.
I had my rant on what Hughes said, now let me say a peice on the fight and on Jon Fitch. Not much needs to be said about GSP it was all said in the cage, same goes for Fitch for that matter. Allow me to say a quick peice about Fitch.
Not only did he go the distance with GSP but he bloodied him and bloodied him good. There was a few points in the fight where I dind’t think I could get anymore impressed with Fitch and then GSP hit with a solid *fill in the blank* and said, “Well, that was fun while it lasted” and Fitch managed to not get finished. I remember reading elsewhere saying the GSP didn’t look at his best, maybe he was at his best but he was going against very game opponent, possibly one of the best in the world. Remember Diego Sanchez? Did anyone see Fitch fight him? Fitch may not be that young but I think he still has a lot left in him, and I think that this may have been one of GSP’s toughest tests. I don’t think GSP was slow or off a step on saturday I just think that Fitch brings it at a different level than Matt Serra.
o wat a surprise hughes is actin like a stuck up asshole who just realized hes not the king of the highschool anymore well tough **** news flash hughes ur **** does stink ur not the hillbilly version of jesus ur just a dick just retire and stay on ur farm where ur still important seriously does anyone care wat hughes has to say anymore cuz personally afta TUF i was done wit this cockhound and his holier then thou attitude
wow stop insulting hughes he may not be the best anymore but he was the best when he was younger dont u remember most dominate champ ever? and thats just hes a thoughts on the fights who cares.
IS YZFOXRACING NOT USING ALL CAPS ANYMORE?? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!!!:)
nope i stick to my bets… huerta lost man
I understand that Matt is a very competitive guy, and the comment about the GSP/Fitch fight made him sound like a sore loser. He obviously still wants to be the one with the belt, going in there and defending it every time, but he isn’t, and that clearly bothers him. Hughes is also big on professionalism, and this doesn’t sound very professional to me. I thought the fight was outstanding.
Matt hughes will never have the belt ever agian….at least not without MFS!!!!!!….i do agree though matt has been acting like a jerk and it seems like he is really penisy lately!
WHAT DOES MFS MEAN? AND HUGHES WONT WEAR IT AGAIN AND HE PROBALY KNOWS IT. HES TO OLD NOW BUT HE MAYBE STILL CAN BEAT A FEW OF THE TOP GUYS.
Dropping disrespectful comments like these isn’t a good thing for Hughes after-fighting-career. He’s not a big name in the octagon anymore and if he can’t keep his bitterness bottled up people will start forgetting what strong and proud champions he used to be.
UFCFAN,
MFS MEANS MILITECH FIGHTING SYSTEMS…WHICH WAS HUGHES OLD TEAM HE USED TO BE WITH
UFCfan, i just shed a tear for you…… is sarcasim your cup of tea today or were u being serious, if you seriously and dont know then….. Miletich Fighting Systems no harm no foul
From this comment, it seems like Hughes is a very little, petty man. He lacks character.
until him and Lawler jumped ship did big Timmeh jump ship too i cant remember, MFS is where champions are made….. or atleast use to be, Pat is the man tho forsure
NOPE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT MFS MEANT AND GIVE ME A BREAK IM JUST A KID.
uh oh, looks like the caps lock is spreading to new victims!
I agree with Hughes. St.Pierre vs. Fitch was not the most exciting fight. I was way more excited watching Hughes get beatdown, knocked-out and submitted by George.
Yeah. I, like many of you, used to be a hughes fan as well. That guy needs to learn to shut the F#ck up sometimes. Moron.
I ALSO AGREE WITH HUGHES I MUCH FOR LIKE FORREST GRIFFIN VS BONNER OR MATT HUGHES VS GSP (FIRST FIGHT)
AND I WAS A HUGHES FAN AND STILL AM.
the caps was my signature move….
TRY this HAHAHA new STYLE much COOLER.
true wats with everyone coping each other now…wats next everyones gonna start talking about midgets like KOuch ……UFCfan push caps lock on your keyboard thank you
ok stick to it then
i like the midget theory…
UFCfan,
seriously i wasnt picking on u by anymeans, if u dont know what something means its always best to ask… no worriess my apologies if it came across like i was talking sh£t
shut up hughes, he would get **** stomped by fitch or gsp, HARD
your right matt i’d rather of watched a really exiting fight like when you fought Chris Lytle……stop being bitter
i enjoyed the fight alot, i was standing the whole time i couldnt sit down, i expected gsp to finish him alot and looked like he let some opportunities to do so slide, but, since he first went for the belt its beena long strange journey for gsp, ups and downs the whole time so i think now that he has the belt he just wanted to be more cautious in this defence to finaly prove his worth as champion, because you have to defend to be a real champ. but in doing so he still put on a spectacular show. i see his next defence as a relentless beating on whoever steps in
i wonder if UFCfan is guna stick to that, i will be watching, and i want YZ to go back to caps just doesn’t seem the same haha wonder were my fellow english man an bisping lover has gone JPM? an heared owt from fiXxer either latley,
JOHNBOY I MISS THE CAPS TO MAN… HA HA HA I HAVEN’T HEARD FROM EITHER OF THOSE GUYS IN A LONG TIME…
ya i am gonna stick to that. and i think matt maybe retire soon unless he can win a big fight i will all ways be a matt hughes fan even if idont agree with him. MATT HUGHES FAN ONCE MATT HUGHES FAN FOREVER!!!!
Has-been sourpuss
wasnt there talk of hughes moving up to MW?
now if ude ov said down to 155 i could of agreed but to move up imagine hughes vs silva ouch ouch ouch death!
no way hughes cant get a title shot against silva he would get killed hes not doing well in ww y would he move up to mw to get killed
THATS NOT EVEN A POSSIBILITY
my bad i meant on the right of the keyboard and NOT the top!
Kyle,
FYI, Hughes fought GSP 3 times, not 2. He beat GSP the first time. All 3 boughts were exciting. GSP vs. Fitch was a boring fight, especially after soo many great fights on this card.
Matt is passed his prime, and Serra should be his last. However, he did help make the UFC what it is today. Plus he stepped up and helped out Dana and the UFC by headlining UFC 85 Bedlam, and going against Alves at a catchweight bout.
GSP vs. Penn 2 will be unbelievable. I think Penn will take it this time.
looks like karma is a ****. hughes is such a douchbag…i bet he was wearing a Tim Sylvia t-shirt and had to leave early because he **** his pants at the thought of having to fight Fitch if he beats Serra.
wow zac but i agree with u kyle except bj and GSP but thats my a PONION did i spell that right?
but so many people disagring with each other very interesting fight to watch even though BJ doesnt deserve a match with GSP he hasnt beat in body at WW in a long time and hews lost those last to WW fights. and he lose to hughes on hes last WW fight i think HAHAHA.
Sorry Matt, not everyone can get knocked out or submitted in the 2nd. Remember your last 3 of 4?
Hughes needs to shut up. GSP dominated him, and Hughes shouldn’t say anything because he won the title from Newton very cheaply. Hell if i was Newton i would have sued the hell out of the UFC for giving him the title. Newton was a gifted athlete and a very humble champion, to bad there arnt more fighters like Carlos out there. Newton i think he would be a great commentator for Affliction or some league, the best to him. And the best to Hughes when he gets his ass kicked again in the octagon.
OK… Marko… what in the heck did you see when Hughes took the title from Newton? He slammed Newton down and knocked him out… he was OUT! Matt may or may not have been woozy himself, but he was never out. Newton’s hands were loose and at his sides. He was gone. Hughes won fair and square just like GSP did the last 2 times they met. I don’t understand why Hughes says the crap he does, but I hope he beats Serra senseless. Serra is a JERK!
ya seriously hughes is a future hall of famer nd is was the most dominate champ ever!! and hughes and GSP had 3 fights and he won the first one! that when he was at his best! so i will always think hughes is the best when he is at his best which he ont be anymore but i still think he can beat serra!!!
I love this guy. he tells it like it is
lol thank u.
hughes is gonna be the new ken shamrock…i hope hes around for 5-6 more years and gets raped by Danny Louzon over and over again.
Such a ****.
It was a good fight in my opinion. But both fighters made mistakes, Fitch underestimated GSP’s alround skills mainly his power and wrestling and speed. But you don’t really know your opponent until you faced him. Fitch said it best he took way to much damage in the first round to be a factor in the fight. GSP on the other hand should of finished Fitch a few times when he had him hurt. He looked like he through himself out in punchs, first time I saw GSP kind of looked gased ,just low on energy. What he needed to do was take Fitch down and damage him from inside Fitch’s guard. He kind of looked like he wanted to prove people wrong about his chin but on the other hand he gave Fitch a punchers chance ,bad move and give himself a longer night
hughes has always had no respect for anyone else. and for anyone who says that was a boring fight you show as much respect as hughes cos gsp looked good and fitch left it all in the cage cant ask for much more.
Matt Hughes sounds a little bitter to me. I can’t believe ppl think bj will beat gsp. GSP beat hime when he sucked. Everyone forgets how much gsp has improved since his loss to serra. Bj is a little full of himself to be after gsp right away. lets see him defend his own belt first. but having said that i wanna see this fight too.
yep i agree and Bj penn is gonna lose hands down I believe that BJ the better fighter but going up a wieght class makes a huge differrence so he we lose but i dont think it’ll not go to a dicision.
thats just my thoughts.
ian, BJ defended against Sheirk and destroyed him with ease
UFCfan
man really do we have to go through this again you said GSP would win hands down, hey u can choose GSP forsure but to hint that its not going to be competitive com’on man…
BJ v GSP is going to epic imo we could are the how comes, shouldnt BJ have to win against a WW, the split decision, BJ going to the bar and GSP going to the hospital, all damn day long hey and we most likely will
my bad didnt mean to add the not will i just think GSP will win
UFCfan
no worries i know u think GSP is going to win im just saying i see it more as a technical fight from both and im looking forward to it, imo i think BJ is going to win this time around…. but ya never know GSP does have the skills and he has been proving that of late
Bj will probaly never defeat GSP unless hes by far the best p4p fighter in the world and he has gotten the title at WW but he beat hughes for and not GSP.
ya i will be a good fight..
the i after the ya its suppose to be IT.
YZ’s idea about TUF Season 9 being MFS vs Greg Jackson is freaking genious! The UFC fighters could be a special guest each week.
American Top Team V Chute Box?
Delagotti V American Kick Boxing Academy?
THAT WOULD BE AWESOM I KNOW… IM GETTING TIRED OF THE TUF SEASONS ALREADY THEY NEED TO CHANGE IT UP
Watch out the boring fight of the year will be the Matt and Matt fight.
hahahaa
Speaking of TUF… they seriously need to go back to holding team competitions for the power of fighter selection just like they did in the first season.
TUF is so boring now because we see the same **** every season. They could add commentary to the fights to spice them up a bit as well since 75% of fights are lackluster
Also, focus more on training, teaching the casual viewer about different aspects of fighting…. cause I personally don’t care to see Mac Danzig saving flies and preaching about his love for the earth…. *BORING!!!
SEE I WAS DISSAPPOINTED FOR THE LAST SEASON. I LIKE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS AT THE HOUSE. I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE I KNEW THE FIGHTERS AT THE END OF THE SEASON.. BECAUSE THEY JUST SHOWED TRAINING AND FIGHTING… NOT MUCH OF THE HOUSE DRAMA
You people have forgotten that Matt has beaten GSP, Royce Gracie, and countless others. I would looooooove to see the haters on this blog step into the ring with Matt.
im not a matt hater i remember all those thing and i try to remind ppl that but they just want to insult because he doesnt like the fitch and GSP fight. im a hughes fan. not much ppl r anymore.
ya i agreed with you (bryan) for the most part but if ur not a fighter i dont know if anybody could just go in to the cage and take hughes.
DUH!
UFC: bitter aftertaste
huh? what does that mean!?
Means he is unhappy with his lot in life and has to bring down the fight of the night to boost his PR.
Hughes is done, he better retire soon
DolfanG, Newton won that fight. Hughes was out cold and didnt even realize he won, hell he was shocked he was given the title. Newton got robbed that night worse than anyone else in history. Seriously Hughes needs to shut up, he talks and talks and talks, but what does he have to say about the night Newton was robbed.
I hope stays around for Serra and gives Penn a chance to hurt him…
penn will annialate serra i know i didnt spell that right.
they both were out cold but newton had hughes out cold when he was holding him in air bad choice. and ya hughes should retire sonn but before he goes out he should take out serra!!
Hughes should have never held the title that night.
I meant Hughes Penn and Hughes Serra …Sorry for the mix up.
♣just remember penn lost to hughes the second time so he cant beat GSP even though hughes should retire soon penn probaly could beat hughes now.♣
and dietrich he held it twice so he would of gotten the title anyway.
MAYBE,MAYBE NOT. THE WHOLE SITUATION COULD HAVE CHANGED.sorry about caps…
i dont care about caps. but maybe ur right but i still think he would of gotten anyway because he was the most dominate champ ever. well u never know..
UFC Fan,
The cap thing was for everyone cause I know some truly hate it. I am in the middle of reflooring the townhouse so the dog hit the caps lock and I am just to ill to rewrite.
As much as I am a Hughes hater I will admit he’s bad enough to hold the title. I think he probably is bad enough to make another run and that just sucks to think about because I just have no respect for him…:)
No i dont think he well get another title shot he just lost to Alves i want him to fight serra then retire there’s not much else he can do…
matt hughs has no room to talk about exciting fights, he had some great fights earlier but last 3 has been a waste of a match he can join randy coture on the time to retire bench
I have to say HUGE props to Fitch, the kid has a ton of heart and I thought it was a great fight. I was suprised GSP did not finish him. I think that says a lot about Fitch, not GSP was slow.
ya im suprised GSP didn’t finish also. but before hughes and randy retire i would like HUGHES VS. SERRA & COUTURE VS. FEDOR
am i the only guy who still is a hughes fan?? im a fan of him as a fighter i dont care if he doesn’t like a fight.
Why on earth would Jon Fitch get a rematch that quickly? He had no answers for GSP. Rampage isn’t even getting a automatic rematch with Forrest and there are some that thought he might have won that fight.
As for Nev-o’s TKO subimission of BJ in the 1st round. Never gonna happen. No one has ever submited BJ and he’s fought 2 gracies. And he’s been TKO’d once but I was more to him eating one to many plate lunches. GSP has only won by submission…what once? I can only think of the armbar against matt. He wants to be a ground n pounder, no way GSP ends this fight early. If GSP were to win it would be by desicion like last time. Cause like last time he won’t do anything on the ground and get points for trips or takedowns.everyone raves about GSP being so great after he lost. The only thing he’s done is work on his wrestling. He still has no answer on the ground, did no damage to fitch on the floor. A lot was made of him “passing” fitchs guard. But fitch was never really in his solid guard he was hurt and just trying to survive. And even when he passed what did he do with the position? Nothing. So lets stop slurping up to GSP, he’s great…but he’s not unbeatable.
If Fitch wants a rematch the express route would be to ask Dana for a shot at Condit …beat Carlos than maybe you deserve another look.
ya i agree fitch doesnt ceserve rematch but doesnt matter he will lose agian and hughes was the one to tko bj.
