Predicitions anyone? Hughes vs. St. Pierre I am a huge fan of Hughes, but St Pierre is from my hometown. I really don't know who I am going to root for. At this point in time, Hughes is unstoppable. He is so strong and well rounded - St Pierre will certainly have his hands full. I am really looking forward to this one. Sylvia vs. Monson I can't say I have ever seen Monson fight. He does look very solidly put together, like a tank. Sylvia has such a size advantage over him though, I would imagine Monson will try to get to the ground, which is a very difficult thing to do with Sylvia. I can't see Sylvia losing to anybody in his division right now.
I really haven't seen much of St. Pierre. I just hope it's a good fight. The only reason Hughs beat Penn the second time was because Penn ran out of gas. Hughs can be beaten as long as the person who is fighting him stays aggressive and doesn't get intimidated by him. Penn is probably the only one who has done that. I'm sure Hughs is going to try and kill St. Pierre because of the comments that he made to Hughs of his victory over Penn. I don't know too much about Monson. He's going to have to take it to the ground in order to win it, and he'll have to win it quickly. If he runs out of gas the advantage will be to Sylvia.
Hughes is a beast. His strength and endurance are unmatched. His skills are extremely good. I just can't see Pierre taking him. Sylvia on reach alone.
I'll go ahead and say it...I think George St. Piere can pull this one off. He is in just as good if not better shape than Matt Hughs and he was winning the last fight by a landslide till he got caught in the arm bar. I am pretty sure he wants to win this one bad after watching Matt run his mouth on the reality show. Monson is a monster and I saw him pull off some crazy submissions. If he can get Tim down he too can win. Both fights should be pretty good.
I agree, St. Pierre has more than a chance. I like Hughes a lot, but St. Pierre has incredible, incredible technique and he will give Hughes a run for his money.
