Georges Stole Matt's Warrior Spirit

samwise01 · 03-18-2007, 05:00 AM

Just as shamrock said he stole royce' warrior spirit, i think GSP hurt hughes mentally and demoralized him. there is a drastic difference between matt pre-gsp and post-gsp. and unless matt does something drastic to change his mentality and physical performance, i don't see him ever getting close to GSP or even getting past the B level WW, karo, diego, etc.

He is training in smaller compititions trying to get it back

you confirmed your troll job by saying diego and karo are B level fighters. Hey if B level fighters can beat Hughes then what does that make Hughes? a C level fighter? please go to sleep.

How about beating the #3 and losing to the #2 that sounds like top competition to me dont you think???

I'm not a a Hughes fan by any means, but I gotta disagree with you. Considering Hughes' career ws spent pretty much slamming people down and pounding on them, I was impressed that he knocked Penn out on his feet (for the most part). Granted a lot people think that Penn is on the way out, but I think he showed more standup chops in the Penn rematch and his GSP loss than he had his whole career.
