Yeah, and he was in his corner last night. You know Chuck is an old Cal Poly guy.

Yep, GSP has now out-wrestled two pretty strong wrestlers, Hughes and Koscheck.

no doubt about it. every time they got into a tie up, it was GSP that hit kind of a knee pick to take Hughes down and he worked really well from the mount. Hughes did have a great chance there at the end of the first to come out the back, when GSP cleared the guard, but got high. He just went for it too late. Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like GSP dominated the entire time. Hughes just seemed to be reacting and even when they got locked up, he was hesitant to initiate a takedown. GSP just was the better fighter that night.

No, it wasn't just you. Even Hughes thought he was just straight up beat. Hughes couldn't get anything the entire match.

It baffled me why Hughes didn't try and use his butterfly guard when GSP would put him on his back to either create space and stand up, like he'd done in the past two match ups when GSP had taken him down, or maybe even if he was really lucky, create a scramble and maybe sweep him.

Maybe he was afraid to get passed.
