Well isn't that what GSP said?
"If Matt Hughes stays the same as his last couple fights, he's gonna lose. He looked like he didn't do the sacrifice to be ready for the fight (against Thiago Alves at UFC 85). Mentally, he didn't look like he had the drive anymore."

GSP speaks the truth. Enough said.

Actually I think it was Hughes fighting someone 200+ pounds in the 170 division and fighting arguably the number one 1 P4P fighter in the UFC.

Hughes should work on his horrible striking.

Like I said, a game Hughes can take Fitch, I'm convinced he'd take anyone under GSP. Depending on how he comes in with Serra, if he's focused and trained, he'll run thru him IMO.

People need to stop putting words into these guys mouths. GSP never said Hughes was an old timer and Hughes never said GSP was on steroids. Shut the fuck up with the stupid titles.

Good - Hughes is washed up, and GSP is only telling the truth.

I would have thought that was the case too but lately he's looked so incredibly lackluster it really does seem as though his heart isn't in fighting anymore, which is fine he's made his mark. A motivated Matt Serra could be VERY dangerous and if Hughes slacks off I see him getting beat which I would never have thought was possible.
