I was just saying that the statement "Serra gave Penn a better fight than Hughes ever did" is entirely inaccurate. Serra gave Penn a tough fight, Penn won. Hughes beat Penn, so how did Serra compete better with Penn if Hughes actually BEAT him?

Did you see the fight?

BJ Penn dominted the first two rounds, and then got his ribs broken. Matt Serra was never dominted in their fight like Hughes was in his 2nd fight with Penn.

Gotta look at the whole fight.

Never heard his ribs were broken.

And I did see the fight. And it looked like Penn gased, at which point Hughes took over.

EVEN IF THAT IS SO...okay were his ribs broken coming into the fight? No. He got them broken during the fight.

Hello. They're fighting. You might get a broken rib. It's not like an injury is an unexpected consequence of fighting. No, it's part of the fight. He got his ribs broken. And then he lost.

I think you would have to credit Hughes MORE for injuring his opponent, not the other way around.

"Hughes would've lost if he hasn't ripped his arm out of his socket, what a bitch!11!"

Yeh. Exactly. Breaking your ribs isn't like an "Oh well he would have on but he got hurt..." Well...Chuck Liddell would have beat Quinton Jackson had he not been punched in the face.

I give all the credit in the world to Hughes. He pulled it out, and he's a winner. Pure and simple, but if BJ Penn and Matt Hughes fight ten times BJ Penn at least wins 7 probably 8 of them.

There is no way you can convince me that Hughes is that much better then Matt Serra. Still I'm not saying Serra is gonna win, but it's not gonna be a squash match.

The deciding factor is going to be striking. Serra is very good on the ground and can pull submissions off almost like penn. Hughes is good on the ground too, but hes basically just a ground and pounder and either waits for his opponent to give then theyre back or losen up an arm and lock in an americana or key lock.

serra is too dangerous on the ground for hughes to do that. Plus one of hughes biggest goals in fighting is to win by a knockout and i think that serra has pissed him off enough that hughes will try and go for it.

People think that because of the GSP win, that serra's striking is phenominal. Well, maybe it is, but hes only showed it for one match, and most likely it was a fluke than not, and I see hughes thinking the same way.

I dont think it will be a squash between Hughes and Serra but I definetly thinks its one sided. Hughes is going to be the stronger of the two, and unless Serra lands a clean shot on Hughes on the feet, I dont actually see Hughes being submitted. Last time Hughes was sub'd outside of BJ Penn (which was set up by a beautiful right from over the top) was Dennis Hallman at the beginning of his career. The guy fights very methodical and isnt known for getting caught in subs.

Hughes last fight with BJ he did get caught in a sub, a triangle choke and survived it for 2 minutes. People say that BJ broke his ribs because his camp said that he broke his ribs, and I dont believe it actually. I dont ever remember seeing anything from NSAC saying that Penn was forced to sit out for any period of time because of injury. I can/could be wrong, but I actually just believe that BJ blew his wad trying to stop Hughes with the triangle and gassed because of it.

hughes is gettin old too. He has not performed anywhere near his talent level in the last three fights. Plus he said he was getting burnt out on the ultimate fighter. I can see him getting focused and beating serra but i can also see him losing to serra just as much.

To much Hughes hating going on in this thread.

Anyways, UFC 78 BITCHES!

Fisher and Edgar for fight of the night, although I believe Parisyan and Chonan will be flashy as well. Alexander and Silva will be fun to watch, probably going to be a brutal slugfest, or maybe we will get a chance to see Houston's ground game if Silva shoots on him. Main event is fun simply for the fact that I want to see both of these guys get knocked out really bad, and I dont care who it is!

Yea, even though alot of people like Rashad from his fight with Tito, I still consider Bisping the favorite in the match. Evans seems to have a problem finishing fights; while he did win by KO in the two fights before Tito, he had let the fight go to decision in his five fights before that. On the other hand, Bisping has only had one fight go to decision. Still, I'm not a fan of Bisping so I continue to hope Rashad beats him.

Watch the show online. Total garbage. Possibly the worst UFC show in the Zuffa era since the first one they controlled (I forget the number).

Houston Alexander has ZERO ground game. Tough luck pal. Made me happy though that his bandwagon got humbled. Too old to learn any new stuff that he can actually get good at and make use of. Undercard fighter at best now.

Joe Lauzon looked great. Apparently all the dark fights were really good

Karo vs. Ryo was boring as fuck. Many takedowns by Karo and he couldn't pass guard one single time.

Rashad Evans beat Michael Bisping by split decision. Going on past fights, I would have agreed with the decision but it only proves that wrestling takedowns should not be scored positively by the judges unless they lead to more aggressive action. If you have seen one Evans fight, you've seen them all. Couple of takedowns then constant cuddles. I was expecting him to try and kiss Bisping at one point. Looks like 185lbs for Bisping though which should be good. Evans will get killed by Rampage if they fight now. Dana White was mega happy with the fight too. Dunno why cos it sucked a cock.

I wont disagree that the card was subpar, but thats a dumb statement. Ryo Chonan is a decent veteran, just because Karo couldnt pass his gaurd doesnt mean Karo was the guy to point fingers at. Seemed like 2 good veterans of the sport having a fight to me, albeit a lackluster one.

And I completely agree that the scoring needs to be reworked, but so does every other hardcore mma fan.

Karo after the fight said he fought like shit. No need to point fingers when he admitted it was shit himself.

Trust me, some don't. Mostly guys who love Rashad Evans or Josh Koscheck.

What in the good god fuck were they thinking stopping the Lytle vs Alves fight. That was on its way to being the fight of the year.


( Chris Lytle is the man cause he's from Indiana. So is John Fitch )

Amazing to see a fight live, recommend it to everyone to do at least once

Yeah like Rob said the undercard fights were all good. JoeLau deserves to be on the main card with that win

The Prudential Center is siiiick. Seats a little narrow but awesome arena.

Looks like 185lbs for Bisping though which should be good. Evans will get killed by Rampage if they fight now. Dana White was mega happy with the fight too. Dunno why cos it sucked a cock.
common now. if your getting taken down then your doing something wrong. now if the person who is doing the takedowns cant do shit on the ground doest mean the takedowns shouldnt be scored, it means they need to learn how to fight on the ground. takedowns should be scored just as much as clean strikes because you can get knocked out by a well positioned takedown just like a well placed shot to the chin.

Im sure your a big bisbing fan and im not a rashad fan but you have to admit tht the only thing that bisbing did was stand up from takedowns. he was tenetive the entire time and let rashad control the pace of the fight. maybe rashad didnt really BEAT bisbing but bisbing did nothing to win the fight.

I've got a question though....who the hell were those refs last night?? Where were guys like Herb Dean, Steve Mazzagatti(sp?) and "big" John McCarthy?

Fucking Christ! give dan some guys to beat before he gets sent into another title fight. this could be pretty damaging to his image in terms of how US fans see him because he could easily lose to silva and be 0-2 in the UFC albeit in two different weight classes, but the normal fans are dumb and so is the management in the UFC.

HAHA i know! the one guy looked like the security gaurd from jerry springer on steroids and the other guy literally looked like an alien... on steroids as well. His cranium was huge and his face was tiny.
