Hughes is no moron..GSP just got the best of him that night. There was no way Hughes was going to Win that match. And Serra’s win was no fluke…he threw the punch, it landed, he won - end of story.

I agree with most of what this guy said but strongly disagree that serra win wasn’t a fluke. You really think serra’s that good??, the fight screams fluke to me, like me splitting an arrow or something like that, it could happen but its no way in hell testament to my skill, why can’t people see that??? If I ko’ed chuck liddel because he didn’t know I was a kickboxer and took me lightly is that a fluke??? I guarantee it can happen, every fighter has a punchers chance, you need to look up fluke and get an understanding of what it means. Me throwing a perfect bullseye in darts is a fluke because my skill level isn’t very good and it makes me lucky. Gsp’s skill level is much higher than serra’s with kickboxing, anyone who knows anything about kickboxing knows this, its so obvious. That fight was a one in a million fight, serra’s skill level is at best average with striking, I really don’t get how so many are so impressed with his striking with gsp, he looked like shit to me. Gsp made a mistake, for some reason got too close and when he ducked serra clipped him with his forearm behind the ear and the rest is history. It is EXACTLY like me hitting a perfect bullseye in some tournament and beating a much better opponent, to me I would call it “lucky” or a fluke I guess we see things differently. Gsp does have very good kickboxing the only mma fighter who I see as much better is anderson silva who is as close to super human as they come. I really wish the gsp/serra fight could have gone on for another round or two because I wouldn’t be ranting like a nut here, if would be obvious even for serra nut huggers.

Serra’s like the guy who sometimes misses the entire dart board and gets close to the bulls eye on other occasions but april 7/07 he hit that bulleyes dead center, and trust me there was a hell of a lot more luck involved than skill. Please explain this to me how my scenario is any different that swinging for the fences at another fighter???? Throwing the dart, you have intent, but sometimes it misses the mark just like throwing a punch. Wrestling and bjj have no luck involved whatsoever but I KNOW luck plays a factor with striking, I don’t understand why some one this site are so stubbornly blind to this fact but whatever, I’ll shut up now .[/quote]
With Serra being a fluke - No i dont think Serra Beats GSP again…but Serra intentionally threw the punch and it landed..In my mind no fluke. To quote Highes “Gsp wins that one, nine times out of ten!”[/quote]

so from your post I gather you think Serra beating GSP was a fluke? LOL.[/quote]
I was speaking about specifically, was the match that Serra won. I dont Serra would win should they fight again and that punch was no fluke. Its like saying that home run was a fluke - The pitcher threw the ball and the hitter swung…how was that a fluke. Was shonnie Carters spinning back fist a fluke - He threw it and it landed - Hence it was premeditated.[/quote]

Deyo,
Perhaps you don’t understand what a “fluke” is. If I stand at halfcourt and launch up a shot (a desperation shot) at the basket and it goes in- is it a fluke? Of course, because I’m unlikely to be able to replicate that shot with any consistency. The fact that I was aiming at the basket does not make it anything less than a lucky shot (because I probably won’t be able to do it again) Your quotation of Hughes that “GSP would (beat Serra) 9 times out of 10″ kind of disproves the point you’re trying to make. His win was a fluke. He caught GSP- no doubt about that. But the win was a fluke. The punch was aimed and GSP ducked into it. Throwing the punch was not a fluke- but it connecting in the way that it did was. Again, what are the odds of Serra replicating that punch again? Therefore……fluke win, fluke punch.

Good night.

Hughes is no moron..GSP just got the best of him that night. There was no way Hughes was going to Win that match. And Serra’s win was no fluke…he threw the punch, it landed, he won - end of story.

I strongly agree

With regards to comparing KOS and Trigg to HUghes…We are not comparing as exact prototypes but more with regards to their wrestling skills. Those two guys (trigg and Kos) are highly touted wrestlers with great credentials and GSP took both them out. Little known fact that if GSP wasn’t fighting in the UFC he would be competing in professional wrestling (not WWE but Olympic wrestling).

Hughes is no moron..GSP just got the best of him that night. There was no way Hughes was going to Win that match. And Serra’s win was no fluke…he threw the punch, it landed, he won - end of story.

Give Matt hughes credit, he’s the most dominate ww in UFC history. till this day until otherwise.[/quote][/quote]
LOL is this sarah? sarah’s win was extremely lucky over gsp kind of like me walking into a dart tournament and beating the top guy by throwing a perfect bullseye. Would that be “lucky” well duh of course it would, but according to this guys, sarah’s wins was no “fluke”, he’s never beaten top competition before and “tko’s” the best in the division in the first round??????? Sarah’s a joke and anyone with any common sense realizes that, he’ll be out of the top 10 within a year if he can fight again in a few months.

I don’t know what all YOU Hughes nut lickers don’t understand…he COULDN”T take him down and he didn’t attempt as many takedowns as he would have liked because he was constantly eating kicks and punches. Watch the fight again for crying out loud.[/quote]
I guess you couldn’t come up with anything better so you went with my saying. Oh well, I have watched the fight many times, we differ in what we see. Hughes was so confident that his stand up had gotten better, that he stuck with it to the end, thinking he could catch GSP. This fight will be different.[/quote]

I didn’t know you invented “nut lickers”? Congrats. I guess we differ in what we see, because I didn’t see a fighter that was so confident in his standup. I find it funny that Hughes supporters say he intentionally kept that fight standing and that he thought he would “catch” GSP. Intheir first fight GSP was getting the best of Hughes in the standup and when the fight went to the ground he caught GSP in an armbar. Even if Hughes thought he could beat GSP in a standup battle, it would only take an intelligent fighter (which Hughes is) a couple of mintutes to realize that he was in for a long night standing. In my opinion GSP’s takedown defense and wrestling had improved so much and his standup was so good that Hughes had no choice but to be a punching bag. Up to the Serra fight, nobody had ever “caught” GSP and knocked him out (he has a great chin, see BJ fight) so your theory that he wanted to stand with GSP the whole fight is flat out wrong….
