Whatever.



Ok, now that that is out of the way, here is what I have to say about that. Fitch was the biggest guy that Georges fought. IMO that is why some can say he looked small. I think he has had a noticeable increase in muscle mass since he has started training with Jackson's camp.

As far as him being winded from the first round? He twice took down a bigger guy who has been damn near impossible to take down, and passed a guard that (in the UFC) had not been passed, and got to full mount. If he was winded it was because he was totally putting it on Fitch. Oh yeah, he knocked him down striking too. If you guys hadn't noticed, Jackson's camp has obviously figured out that GSP is VERY well conditioned, so they always go for the takedown right away and grind out the first round fighting tooth and nail for position to sap the opponent's gas tank.

So if Hughes left halfway through the third round let's think about what he saw that "didn't impress him" to the point of leaving.
-14 seconds into the round, GSP lays Fitch out.
-40 seconds into the round GSP goes for a RNC
-50 seconds into the round Fitch reverses it and has GSP on his back (something I don't think Hughes was ever able to do)
-120 seconds into the round GSP gets the reversal.
-150 seconds into the round (when Hughes is so unimpressed he leaves) Fitch starts getting up again.

If he would have only stuck around another 50 seconds, he could have heard Goldie say "he could very well be the most athletically gifted athlete ever to grace the octagon" Then Hughes might have been impressed. Lol.

No, Matt, you being completely tooled in every aspect of the game by Thiago was MUCH more impressive. (working on inventing a font for sarcasm as we speak...)

Come to think about it, the second and the third round were the only ones that were even close to competitive in that fight.

No, at this point, it is not smack-talking. It is sour grapes. Also, Fitch would tool Hughes.
