Jake would most likely not be able to take Hughes down.

Would be a good fight to see Hughes kill someone. People are riding Shields to hard. Fickett would have beat him.

The "Young" Hughes was very explosive, strong and very fast on the take downs! Go look up his HL reel and you'll see.

His TD's and Slam's were amazing! His stand up has'nt changed.

His performance against lytle didn't look like the matt hughes of old, we all know he should have finished that fight.
We've seen this type of thing with Hughes before when he fought Verissimo. He won a lackluster decision, and look what kind of fighter Verissimo is. Matt Hughes might be behind the times, but he clearly beat Lytle by lay-and-pray and I'm not ready to count him out yet.

Jake said this for one reason, to get a huge thread about him on sherdog.

Yea Shields, you keep talking....
You have my attention. What kind of gutless turd tells everyone that a guy is washed up and then says, "I can beat him". Doesn't say much if you ask me.

Hughes could prolly still lay n pray a win out against Shields at the very least. I think he would still look pretty dominant against him. Hughes is getting old but he is still pretty high up on the food chain.

I love Shields but what a ***got disrespectful thing to say about one the greatest champs the sport has had.

I really hope Hughes wins next time out to show that's he's not done.
