How would it have gone? Which of the the greatest ww of all time would've done better? Remember Hughes thought about moving up to fight silva.

I think Bisping is a bit big for hughes to slam him and bash him up like he did everyone else.


If it goes to the ground I can see hughes pulling off an armbar but maybe not.


Probs bisping by Cung Le style tko
 
Bisping; What could Hughes do in that fight? No way he is holding him down.
 
Too much of a size difference. in the make believe world of P4P, prime Matt vs 40 year old Bisping would be Matt's fight I believe
 
So your asking about a fantasy fight with one in his prime and one past his prime, ummmmm oooooooooook
 
Prime Hughes didn't have the hands to deal with a 2017 Bisping tbh. Bisping is too big and defends takedowns to a tko win. Hughes could take a decision though.

Yep I'd tend to agree, Hughes was a bit of relic even in the mid 00's, the kind of fighter who had been knocked off the top of divisions like HW years before.
 
Wtf is this? By today's standard Hughes is a small WW. And he is a one-dimensional grappler. Tailor-made for Bisping to absolutely school.
 
Bisping would win, GSP is highly evolved, Hughes is too old school for someone like Bisping, especially with the size difference.
 
Hughes would take him down and absolutely thrash him. Bisping is fucken terrible and has never beaten an elite fighter outside of his fluke win over Rockhold.
 
Bisping was at the level of a guy ranked well outside the top 10. He got dropped twice by a 46yr old man who was on a huge slide ranked outside the top #10.

He caught lightning with Rockhold, but it doesn't change the fact that he wasn't a top ten fighter. Hughes was a P4P fighter just one weight class below.

It isn't a good match-up but he's that much better than that version of Bisping he likely would have won. Shit: Woodley, Prime Lawler, Condit, Shields, Wonderboy, Masvidal... They all would have beated one eyed Bisping.
 
Euro fighters besides Conor the 2 title goat always find a way to screw up.

Hughes by default.
 
Never liked either of em. Hughes was a notch higher in skill but I could see Bisping peppering him with jabs for 5 rounds. Yawn.
 
Bisping via TDD and better hands.
 
Hughes couldn’t hand the boxing
Of josh koscheck. Why should it be prime Hughes vs old bisping ? Why not prime for prime ? Bisping is virtually 40.

Hughes was great for his era but I feel like mikes
Boxing would overwhelm him and tko him.
