Ufc 85

did anybody watch ufc 85? wtf happened to matt hughes??:confused:
props to thiago alves. great muay thai fighter.
thiago alves vs gsp would be a great fight.

Matt Hughes ran into a better fighter. Alves was just too strong.

hmm..yeah. hughes doesnt even look hungry anymore. thiago alves has very nice knees, kicks and exceptional punching. explosive flying knees. i like his fighting style. :gj:

Agreed. Maybe hughes just did it for the paycheck. He definitely looked more like a fighter living off his own legacy than he did a fighter who was hungry for a win.

I like Bisping's accent, but I'm always disappointed when he wins because it inflates his ego even more.

Overall, a pretty boring UFC.

let him inflate his ego. the higher the go, the harder they fall. he will be humbled soon enough.

hey man. you do bjj?

is it just me or does thiago alves looks GHed out! i know the ufc is really strict on the roid tests but they cant test an athlete for GH. i mean, look at his forehead and his gap-tooth.:confused: but still a good fighter.

nice! i was an active member of bakbakan international here. but the chief instructor left for san diego. we concentrate on knife fighting and arnis stick fighting. but i was more into kickboxing and muay thai. i have some friends in the carlson gracie chapter here, so i sometimes roll with them. but i can only hang with the blue belts.and they usually get to tap me out. hahaha

he didnt make weight? i see. i didnt know that.
hmm..ive been bodybuilding for almost 7 years now. and i know for a fact that you can get a body like thiago alves without using perfomance enchancers no matter how genetically gifted you are. seperation and some mass and to think that he is a fighter. he kinda looks like vitor belfort-ish. did you see his forehead? kinda looks like dexter jackson's.
if didnt use anything, he would look more like a randy couture body type. cut but no mass and the delts and traps wont pop out like that.

didnt hughes retire the last time gsp whooped him? looks like he shoulda stayed retired.

i completely agree to that!

I'm not a big fan of Hughes. If you go back and watch his fight agaisnt GSP you can see that he's lost the "light" to fight. I was surprised to see him fighting again. He just isn't the fighter he used to be. Now I'd like to see GSP fight Alves.

best flying knee ever!!!
