I rewatched "Prime Hughes" today...

[Surveillance State]

Prime Hughes would be a top 5 fighter today as long as he stays on track and trains hard.

 

[dmc]

He always went for a finish, not a point fighter...

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one

and they all stink

 

[MillingMeSoftly]

Prime Hughes would be competitive.... given MMA Knowledge we have now... if hughes was fighting in his physical prime in the current year, he would definitely be in the top 10

anyone who says otherwise is a hater

 

[Voodoo Dahl]

I prefer wagyu hughes

 

[SG123]

I havent read anyone saying he would beat Usman...

But yeah he would still wreck alot of guys in the top 10 that arent good at grappling.

Why are you messing with the guy that can hardly walk and talk because he got hit by a train... just shut up lol

That guy that can hardly walk and talk did it to himself, intentionally. And going by his own accounts of his life, is one of the worst people to have ever fought in the UFC.

If there’s anyone Sherdog should mess with it’s Hughes

 

[AnotherOldGuy]

...and I realized that this dude literally had to switch stances when he was getting ready to shoot a takedown lmfao

Somehow GSP in their 2nd and 3rd fights was the only one who picked up on this

People actually think this dude would beat Usman?

Depends on when they fought.

If they fought in 2006 when Hughes was champ and Usman was 19 and with no MMA experience, Hughes wins easily.

If they fought today when Usman is champ and Hughes is long retired, Usman wins easily.

And I don't think there was any time in between when both were active.

If you're talking about some imaginary fight that needs a time-machine to set up, well produce the time-machine and we'll start betting on the outcome.
