He dominated the unranked Lytle? We must have different dictionaries, because my definition of dominating is a bit different.

Everyone doesnt say Rich Franklin sucks or is past his prime cause he lost to Anderson twice.

Actually, there were a ton of threads about Franklin being washed up...never underestimate the power of a fickle fan behind the anonymous screen of the internet.

That being said, I think Sheilds finishes--not just beats, but finishes--Hughes 7 out of 10.

??? That's a kind of odd statement, do you know him?

I'd guess he probably doesn't care much about arguments on the internet, but he's gotten more money and doesn't have to sign the most manipulative and restrictive contract in the industry.

I think Sheilds and Hughes would be a good fight to watch, but lets be honest... who has Shields faced that is the caliber of Matt Hughes? Nobody! If they fought, it would be without a doubt the biggest test for Shields, even with Hughes career coming to a close as an active fighter.

Either that or the shot he took from Frank has effected his thinking considerably....
