MATT HUGHES! He has incredible power behind him.

It should be Manny Pacquiao since he's beaten the best in his division and not pick his opponents like Mayweather does. However, Mayweather's undefeated and that may be the only reason why he's the #1 pound for pound guy. I disagree though. It should be Pacquiao.

I agree with you completely. BJ dominated Hughes so much it HAD to be a shock to Mr. H. Matt usually picks up his opponant and slams them to the mat on the other side of the Octagon. But no matter HOW hard he tried, he couldn't manhandle Penn.\n\nWhile it looked like BJ just ran out of steam in the 3rd round, it has been documented in a number of places that what really happened was that his ribs had separated. He said he knew he couldn't just "give up", but he couldn't take any blows to the ribs for obvious reasons. He immediately tried to get Hughes into a submission hold. Had it not been for the bell/time limit, I truly believe Hughes would have tapped out to Penn in the 2nd round.\n\nFYI, BJ says he would love to come back to the UFC again and Dana White has invited him back sometime in 2007, once he completely heals up.\n\nI'd love to see another Penn/Hughes fight. \n\nAnd as for the upcoming Hughes/St. Pierre fight, well, I'm not too sure that St. Pierre will have the key to putting Hughes away. We can only hope so though because, as you stated, Hughes is getting just a bit cocky lately.\n\nIt'll be interesting. I'll be watching, THAT'S for sure.

Brazilian Jiu jitsu is the best ground game strategy in mma. Wrestling has too many techniques that don't help you in a mma match. Muy Thai can be used with BJJ to give you a good all around game.

Royce, not Hoyce has a lot of family members. i train at Rorion Gracie's academy in Torrance and his two sons Rener and Ryron are two incredible masters of jiu-jitsu. they are both tall, strong, and fast, with an incredible knowledge and understanding of jiu-jitsu. watch for ryron in the mixed martial arts organizations soon. i feel strongly that he would defeat hughes in the very near future.

Uh, no one.\n\nSeriously, if I had to choose though, it'd be BJ Penn. His style is just so exciting, I'd probably have more fun getting my ass kicked that way.

Matt Hughes and GSP i dont see any knock out since both of them dont hit hard, and i dont see a submission because they are training crazy and are both well versed on the ground. I think it will go to decision for GSP just because Matt Hughes is a dickwad lol jk, GSP is more aggressive than Matt but Matt is stronger.\n\nGSP decision\n\nif u think Matt is gonna win, its fine with me because these fighters are very similiar. Dont tell me GSP is a striker because he is totally amatuer. The guy is complete cardio and muscle just like hughes. But whatever i give GSP the decision and i think it might possibly be a split one too, hard to call split decision but i think it might be. Ur saying that hughes hasnt fought anyone hard? BJ Penn? kidding me? my favorite fighter. he only beat BJ because he BROKE HIS RIBS IF HE DIDNT HE WOULDA LOST. u cant breathe or stand up that well with broken ribs.\n\nOk Tim vs the snowman. If u think this fight will be knock out for the snowman, ur closeminded because that guy is a crazy man, just because ur 5"9 doesnt mean ur gonna loose. AND I SEE A UPSET!!!! UR ARE IN FOR A SURPRISE.\n\nJeff Monson by submission kimura 2r maybe lol.\n\nYEs i see both champs going down. Monson is the strongest heavyweight, and he is 2-0-1 for proffesional boxing, and a grappling champion.\n\nWho has Tim fought that u think is hard? Andrei? that was his hardest fight and Andrei would get butt raiped by Monson.\n\nIf u want to place any bets i would be happy to say that team miletich is going DOWN!!!!\n\nTHESE FIGHTS ARE NOT JOKES AND MONSON WILL BE A UPSET. MY BET IS ON MONSON!!!\n\nYES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TIM SYLVIA GO TO PRIDE!! GREAT IDEA!!! HE WOULD GET OWNED BY ALMOST ANY HEAVYWEIGHT THERE! HERES A GOOD LIST FOR U\n\n1.FEDOR\n2.MIRKO\n3.JOSH\n4..ANTONIO\n5.ALEXSANDER\n6.SERGEI\n7.PAWEL NASTULA\n8.MARK HUNT\n9.HIDEHIKO \n10.MARK COLEMAN\nTIM SYLVIA WOULD GET OWNED I WOULD BE HAPPY TO BET AGAINST TIM ON 8 OF THOSE PEOPLE LOL THERE IS 10 ANYWAYS.\n\nGSP BY DECISION MAYBE SPLIT\n\nMONSON BY SUBMISSION 2R MAYBE BY KIMURA OR PUNCHES.\n\nHF UPSETS IN THIS UFC ALL AROUND!!!

This will be a very good match up. I like Gracie better than Hughes. Gracie will capitalize on any careless mistakes that Hughes make. But if Hughes lets go of his ego, go in and work his standup and wait for the right moment to make his move, it could be a good night for him. But all favoritism laid aside, I think Matt Hughes will win because he is more well rounded and has a bigger arsenal to work with. Gracie grapples but is not a proven striker.

Mixed Martial Arts competition is probably the most controversial sport right now.  UFC started in 1993,  bringing together fighter from various styles to determine who would be the "Ultimate Fighter" in a no (limited) rules competition.  A lot of people were shocked to see what skills were necessary to win in that type of competition.  Many didn't expect to see how important it would be to know how to fight on the ground.\nEver since the first UFC the sport has been constantly evolving.  New styles and combinations of styles have emerged attempting to prove they can produce the best fighters in the world.  People still debate over which style of martial arts is the most effective.  Brazilian Jiu Jitsu had long unofficially held the title of top martial art, but Matt Hughes recently proved that a well rounded fighter could beat a Jiu Jitsu master in his fight against Royce Gracie.

I do not think so because that is a totally different time and the fighters now are just different from the fighters back then. If he was to fight Matt Hughes when he was in his prime he would give Hughes a fight but he would lose.

Defence may win a hockey game but if it helped you win a figt Matt Hughes would have done better in his fight! Think offence!

Everyone with their conspiracy theories...\nGet over it. GSP did what most of us knoew was going to happen. BJ Penn did it to Matt too in the first 2 rounds GSP just finished the job. Why can't you just accept that Matt Hughes lost. This is becoming like a WWE forum now.

Well Matt Hughes won.  He dominated the entire time and at the end, Gracie was in a position where he could not defend himself.  I would have much rather seen Gracie win.  Even though he lost, he still fought with dignity considering how Hughes had Gracie's arm bent backwards and he still managed to squirm out.  All in all, it was a dissapointing fight.
