    yep!, it just takes 1 glancing blow to the back of the head and it snowballs from there.

    I'll like to rescind everything I said in this thread and say "Hughes has no chance." Kudos to Iron Duke who predicted spot on. GSP made Hughes look like a rank amateur.

    Thank you Boinko.

    Just to recap: :D
    Like I said, GSP not only outstruck Hughes on their feet but he took Hughes down at will and held him down thoroughly outwrestling him. (Hughes' forte)
    GSP even performed better than I thought he would, submitting Hughes using BJJ, something I thought Hughes might have the edge with. But nope.

    He was dominated in the striking, the wrestling and the submission game.
    If Hughes did have a 'chance' I fail to see what it was.

    Sometimes a simple "I told you so" doesn't quite say it :yep

    Whatever dude. He won the first fight, and that proves he had a chance.

    Matt Serra said it perfectly about his fight before GSP. "You don't have to be the better striker to outstrike someone in MMA." He might as well have said fight instead of strike. No one is completely immune to getting caught in a quick submission, and also, we now know that GSP can be hurt if he gets caught.

    Obviously Matt wasnt the favorite and obviously he got dominated, but he had a chance.
