Lol that is for damn sure. I am sure so many people were pissed with their bets that made on the first fight. Some were probably extremely happy too.

I’m sure technically he’s improved from when we fought last, as I have too. It could be a very different fight. I’m actually looking forward to it going the whole time.”

Ok so will this maybe finally put the whole "BJ beat GSP" debate to rest ?

Be interesting to see how BJ goes, I mean not training professionally could be a big mistake. It was in fact the mistake Hughes made back in 2004 when they first fought, he had trained very little & did not take the fight seriously......

This will be an awesome fight & its going to be hard to pick a winner IMHO. I am definitely looking forward to it though.

Bj's already got all the tools to win this fight, so constant training isn't entirely necessary. Hughes won't be able to outstrike him, and BJ's Jui Jitsu will tear him apart on the ground. Hughes' best chance is using his strength and wrestling to hold BJ on the ground and control him for a decision, and Hughes could very well do that. BJ's cardio is suspect at this point.

I guess it all depends on whether BJ gassed or just stopped caring during the GSP fight. If it's the latter then that won't likely happen again for the title. It's a 5 round fight that Hughes has to survive for the decision, and if BJ's ready to take it to him all 5 rounds I think Hughes will eventually get caught and lose.

Funny this should surface now. I just watched this fight today.

j was winning the fight and then gased so badly in round 2 he could barely make it back to his corner.

He couldn't even keep his hands up in round 3.
