Man, I hope Renzo takes this one. I can't ****ing stand Matt Hughes. However, realistically speaking, I'd have to go with Matt Hughes winning this fight. As much as I don't like him, and as much as I know that Renzo has technically better BJJ, Hughes is very good on the ground as well, and it's much different when you have Jiu Jitsu for MMA then ADCC-esque Jiu Jitsu. Head is telling me that Hughes will win, likely via UD. Every other ounce of me is hoping that Gracie will win.
Hughes taking over in the 2nd. Don't worry though, I'm pretty sure Ricardo Almeida will distract the ref in the 3rd round, allowing Matt Serra to sneak into the ring and KO Hughes with a plastic chair over the back of the head. I have foreseen it.
I had Renzo squeaking out the first round...barely. After that Hughes won the 2nd pretty clearly... And we all saw the 3rd.
Just throwing it out there now, but I don't think Edgar is the #1 Lightweight Contender. I think Florian and Maynard both beat him now. (And go figure, Maynard already has!) B.J. takes this one...and I REALLY don't like B.J. at all.
It doesn't really matter whether you like him or not because no one at Lightweight beats him. No one really has advantages over him at all. And if they do they are minor.
Pretty sure I said/implied that. loooool Relax. I think Kenny can give him a better fight in a re-match, but can he beat him? Well, if they fight again, then we'll have a better idea. Frankie seems to be doing good this round. I think he won the first round.
