How would prime Matt Hughes fare against the current WW top 5?

[CerebralKnievel]

It's hard to compare this to USADA era fighters

That's all from the farm.

Because Alves had just recently picked apart Koscheck while countering and shrugging off his takedown attempts. Koscheck, a 4 time all american and once a national champion. Fact is, GSP had the best takedowns in the sport, and it was because of his focus and mentality in his approach to his training and execution. He wasn't the same after his ACL surgeries.

Lol Usman, Colby and even Maia would've wrestlefucked Alves. The game has evolved. Kos was never an elite MMA wrestler

Koscheck was never an elite MMA wrestler? I'm sorry, I only discuss MMA here with people who actually watch and comprehend the sport. Have a good day.

Lols at georges running through the div and hughes losing to all of them. There was not much between them. Prime hughes was a monster.

 

[LeVagabond]

GSP runs through everyone like a hot knife through butter at WW. It would not even be close.

totally agree

 

[Emang8]

dude is overrated as fuck to small for the division got away with it back then b/c the sport was new hes 5'9 he would lose to all of them even in his prime 55ers now would give him trouble as shown when bj beat him

gsp is goat would treat all of them like children

Yet Matt did defeat GSP in their first meeting. Interesting!

 

[Emang8]

I think if we were able to have Matt in his prime in current day we wouldn't see the same fighter we did 15 years ago but a significantly better version.

Kos never an elite mma wrestler? You are absolutely retarded.

 

[jhawk]

LOL.

Are you kidding? Georges destroys all these guys. Especially Colby

I replied lol to the guy as in what he says was ridiculous.

 

[2sk]

0-20 against top 50

 

[StewDogg11]

Thiago alves was an absoloute monster. GSP wasnt some unbeatable GOAT at the time either and many peoppe picked alves to win.

No they didn’t...GSP was like a -350 favorite. What happened is what everyone expected to happen.

 

[gono btw]

And many could argue before the armbar GSP was dominating even the first fight. .

That´s a...myth.

 

[TR1]

Hughes KOed Punkass on that Tapout show, so he has that going for him.

 

[Perrichet]

Better than what Franklin would do at MW

 

[FireKidWS]

It's hard to compare this to USADA era fighters

A lot of people forget this.

It used to be way easier to get away with certain things before Usada.

GSP was a baby goat then

 

[Dirge]

Hughes would take masvidal's soul

Usman would wrestlefuck him

Woodley hard to tell.

Colby would probably wrestlefuck him

Edwards would probably wrestlefuck him

Ok lol

I thought aging K-1 Hughes was actually getting the better of Kos when they fought, but he was too old and was going down as soon as he ate a punch...
Prime Hughes could probably beat Kos.

At the same time, I think Kos was incredibly overrated. Got destroyed by Alves and Paulo Thiago.
