> hughes was totally not himself…like for reall…he faught terribly…he needs to be more mentally tough and if he gets in on a grab early then he can dominate…deff cant wait for the rematch

that’s not even true, BJ has better jiu jitsu and so does GSP… not only that but both have rediculously good sprawls. against an opponent who can sprawl extremely well ( or has rediculous flexability / balance like BJ ) you can’t just shoot, not matter who you are.

All the talk about Hughes standup was just part of the alleged ‘mind-game’ he’s always trying to apply to his opponents. he had to try and stand up with GSP in the beginning to try and close the distance and set up a hidden shoot… anyone would have to do that against GSP ( sherk, someone just like hughes ) had no success taking GSP down either. Matt was basically stuffed, incapable of taking down GSP while eating GSP’s very stiff jabs and consistent leg kicks ( which didnt help matt’s shooting ability either )

Hell, Matt shouldn’t have even gotten past BJ

> O/T but did Josh Koscheck (not sure if i spelled that rite) hes the black guy in the first season that was a really good wrestler, did he wrestle for UB or is he from Buffalo?

koschek just was a UB assistant coach. he sucks even though his standup has been improving.
