I think that one would go to decision.
Not a chance. Sanchez or Parisyan would bury him.

I'd say Sanchez by decision. His striking would earn him the decision. And he's too aggressive and powerful for Hughes to pull some submission or GnP.
He's just flat out too slippery for Hughes. Hughes counts on being able to get a hold of you and keeping you there. He couldn't do it to GSP and he sure as hell wouldn't be able to keep Diego down. I would really love to see Parisyan send Hughes across the ring, on his head, with a judo throw.

You really dislike Hughes, huh?

Not really, I just think his time has come that's all. The young guns are faster, smarter, and more skilled than he ever was. He had a nice run and now it's over. I just wish they had better opposition for him all those years he held the title, then there would be no question as to how overrated he truly is/was. I just hope Sanchez/Hughes happens soon.

Yeah it's probably the best division in MMA. A lot of guys with big futures. Parysian and Diaz have especially grown on me over the past couple years. Then you got GSP, Sanchez, Bj Penn, Koscheck, Fitch, ect. Crazy.
Yeah I would love to see so many match-ups. What do you think about a Koscheck/Hughes match-up? Would be interesting. Both really strong guys and great wrestlers.

I can't stand Koscheck so I'd be pulling for Hughes. Koscheck literally tries to take his opponents down the whole fight and when he takes them down lays on them until the ref stands it up. He repeats this the entire fight. That's how he scores his points. So friggin boring.
Yes I know, I agree but with that said how do you think he would fare with Hughes? I doubt he would be able to hold Hughes down. I think Koscheck is extremely talented in wrestling. I would like to see someone push him around and make him work. Who is that guy that beat him? Not McDonal or w/e his name is. Or is it.
Drew Fickett, after Kos beat him up for 14 minutes.

Hughes would destroy Koscheck simply because even if Koscheck was lying on him he could submit him in a hearbeat. And he would knock Koscheck out in a hurry standing up. No contest IMO.
I think Serra should fight Sanchez and just make it a contender match - Sanchez should have a title shot by now anyway. I'd love to see Sanchez vs. Hughes though because they have very similar styles, Sanchez is just younger, faster and hungrier.
Wouldn't mind seeing a Leben/Koscheck grudge match considering both of them have two more years experience under their belts.

Serra/Koscheck. I could pick welterweight matchups all day.
You nailed it on the head with this one, but Leben is starting to be exposed for the phony that he is. Would be exciting though considering how much they dislike each other. Kos wins easily.
Koscheck would probably do what he did when they fought the first time and every other time he has fought. Dana needs to though him another 10g's for a KO.
It's about as exciting to watch Kos fight as it is to watch old people fuck. He's more of a snooser than watching golf. He sould be in K-1 ... they'd make a man outta him.

I havent seen this Kos...or maybe I have, in any case, if that really is his style that Ill be routing for Hughes too if they fought. Laying around for long periods of time remind me of the all time disliked fighter, Royce Gracie.
As far as Serra getting a fight or not, I dont know. It would be nice to see him fight, but it was a title shot, if he fought someone and lossed, that would seem embarrassing for GSP to fight someone who is already underrated enough.

Koscheck is extremely explosive and his standup and submissions get better all the time, but as soon as he gets in a little trouble it's down to the mat he goes. His wrestling is sick though, people call it boring but it takes alot of strength and skill to keep someone pinned on their back for 15 minutes.
I couldn't disagree more.
You're right, Royce Gracie is better known for his dominant stand up.
I believe he is referring to Royce's sick BJJ skills.
What sick BJJ skills? He only beat guys that had never even heard of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

At least when Gracie was lying on someone he was always looking for a submission - barely moving, but looking for a lock or arm or ankle to put into a hold. Koscheck doesn't even know how to do that which is why he'll never be a top contender. Boring, yes - because we're used now to standup knockouts like Liddell and Silva. Different fighting styles.
Plus Gracie mostly fought without weight classes. You try to keep a 300 pound guy on the ground when you only weigh 160. He was good.

The biggest guy he fought back in the day was Kimo and the only way he kept him on the ground was by pulling his hair. He weighed in at 176 when they fought.

After watching Kos last night, Id have to say he is boring, but not as bad as Gracie. I see where BoneCrusher is coming from, but to compare his action to Gracie's is nuts.

At least Kos attempts the stand-up game. Gracie didn't even throw punches, and when he did they were open hand shots..
