Yep. Penn rocked Hughes on the feet many times. Hughes had no choice but to shoot for half assed single legs in which BJ defended very well. And when Hughes managed to take BJ down in the second round, BJ took his back and worked for a sub. BUT MATT HUGHES ESCAPED as the bell rang. Im not taking anything away from Matt, he did a great job in surviving, defending, and out-lasting. The truth is, BJ Penn exploited Hughes for his weaknesses, and his strength, endurance.
And Jens Pulver got owned! Melvin is a power house. He immediatly Lateralled Gabe a few times when they clinched. Melivin did get mounted but got saved by the bell. Then KO'd him with a punched to the Solar plexus. That was some dim-mak shit right there.
And Dana White pretty much got on all fours, pulled down Matt's trunks and t-bagged him. "You are the greatest WW of all times, you truly are the best".
And GSP will beat Hughes for sure. He has very similar skills to Penn AND has great conditioning and strength. Though Canadian, a warrior nonetheless.
