Hughes admitted at the press conference afterwards that the second groin kick hurt a nerve, and not his groin. Strangely, he didn't even try to excuse or apologize for essentially deceiving BJM into pausing the fight.

I don't know about that. He has the ridiculously broad shoulders and long arms (78" reach, wtf?!) that many white people lack, and said in an interview that Gabriella Union is his dream date. Throw in "riddum" and how is he white?

I see what you're getting at - he has long arms, like a gorilla- therefore, he's a negro? Your racism sickens me :<

It made my night when Monson passed Sylvia's guard and everyone in the bar cheered. I gained some hope that fight fans are slowly getting an education.

That and seeing Hughes get kicked in the balls.

My arms are at least that long and im as white as can be. Even Hughes has a 76" reach and hes about 1.5" shorter than GSP.

protip: I don't really think that.
Well, I thought you were smarter than that.

Anybody find it a little wierd when GSP went all "focus mitts" on Hughes open hands?

Not really. IIRC he was throwing his jab (nice jab too) from the outside and hughes was checking it. Good way to keep him from shooting in.

Its not like GSP was in danger from hughes doing action movie **** like catching and crushing his fist.

Maybe he realizes people are getting sick of him hamming up pseudo-fouls.

Oh my eye! BJ poked me in the eye (read: I just got stunned by a good punch).

Who wants to bet on some asshat proposing the UFC starts using full fingered mittens instead of gloves, within the next few years?

It would not surprise me in the least. If someone proposes that, it then becomes a very slippery slope. Next will be elbow and knee pads, then shin guards, then headgear. If that's the way things start to go, we should just skip the middlemen and go straight to putting fighters in full Redman suits to fight.

Don't be ridiculous, if GSP is black, Matt Hughes would have been first to notice.

I suppose, but for those two shots it didn't really look like Hughes was moving his hands to cap or anything.

Hughes GSP was the best UFC fight I've seen in a while.

Fucking fantastic. Amazing. Great. Smashing. Super. PUMPED!

I feel sorry for Sylvia now, after reading about how he was abused and everything when he was younger, but man, it is just not fun watching him fight. Sorry Tim! Sorry about you being abused and everything but please be more interesting!

Tim was abused?
