Who Thought Hughes Would Lose?


Last night UFC 65: Bad Intentions was held. The main event was Matt Hughes defending his title against George St. Pierre. Despite the fact that GSP was considered to be far and away the best challenger, most folks didn't REALLY think that he'd defeat Hughes. The consensus seemed to be there's Matt Hughes and then a notch down George St. Pierre and then several notches down were contenders for the third spot.

Well, last night George St. Pierre ended any discussion that didn't start with him in the first spot. Not only did GSP defeat Matt Hughes, but he did it soundly by a KO at 1:25 of the second round!

There were other fights on the card and you can see all results HERE, but my guess is you're probably still shaking your head over the Hughes loss.

I am still in shock. Matt looked a little down before the fight, and I could tell there was something wrong...just like 1 month ago when Rich Franklin came to the ring looking sickly and pale, and then had his ass kicked by Anderson Silva. I hope Hughes and Franklin both come back again.
