matt hughes vs bj penn

[beenscrewed]

i dont normally pick favorates in ucf because i usually have to lay too much money, but matt hughes at -200 i can do, unless there is something i dont know? any insight into hughes condition, or bj penn?

I don't know exactly what it opened at but I do remember seeing Pinny at -165 about 2 weeks ago

dam that woulda been better, however i have run into a hardcore BJ penn fan recently running his mouth, so i got $200 in on hughes at even money, i just cant see him lose, he's a monster

A little late I guess, but you do realize that BJ beat Matt soundly last time they fought, so saying Matt just can't lose is hardly realistic.

It opened at -105/-105

i have seen that fight, and it was a long time ago. I'll eat my shorts the day matt loses another fight in this division, some of the things he can do physically doesnt seem realistic. He can be at the tail end of a fight, get caught in a rear naked choke, get out of it pick the guy (triggs) off the ground and carry him across the ring b4 slamming him down, there has to be some mental twig in your head that snaps to be able to do that after a long grueling fight. So i cant think too realistic here. I just hope if he gets in trouble against BJ that twig snaps again

Hughes had 4 minutes to get out of that position and he couldn't. He also said he didn't feel Hughes was all that strong. Being able to do that to Trigg who got schooled completely by GSP, while BJ got the better of GSP for the overall fight, isn't the same as being able to do that to BJ.

I like BJ in this fight. I know that most people are liking Hughes, but my gut says that BJ will find a way to win again. Hughes is stronger and will have better wind, though. Therefor any Dec probably goes to Hughes.
