Pains me to say it, because Hughes is a cocky bastard who kills cute animals.
It surprises me that no one is bringing up the fact that Renzo is 43 years old and hasn't fought in over 3 years.
Its all good... I know Hughes is the fav, but I'm all aboard the Renzo war Wagon...
Actually, I'd probably be rooting for anyone who is going up against Hughes.
Hughes should be favored in this fight but that being said, Hughes has always had trouble with slick jiu jitsu guys. Renzo is not Royce and has a punchers chance.(Although it's more like a grapplers chance)
Hughes beat royce and serra ... renzo will have the same fate
crazydave - Hughes beat royce and serra ... renzo will have the same fate
dont forget Renzo made Hughes's former trainer Militech tap.Matt Hughes might suffer the same fate last time he tried avenging Militech's loss.which also happened in the middle east.
Renzo is going beat Hughes and afterwards treat him to some buttermilk biscuits, grits and gravy. I prefer Café con leche.
Hughes hasnt exactly been a killer in his last few fights and is no spring chicken himeslf.Ill take Renzo and the odds if i had to bet
Matt is still the man in my book. One of the true legends of the sport. Not just someone with a big last name.
Renzo ALWAYS has a chance
That said, if Renzo wants a real chance of beating Matt he should go roll with Dennis Hallman.
Renzo has already beaten Hallman in ADCC
Renzo is going to win because his striking will be better
I don't care what happens, I just need Hughes to lose. The harder, the better. I want him crossed out of the "legend of this sport" section.

well hope in one hand and shit in the other and see what you get. Hughes is already a leend, he does not need to do anything further to keep that status either. He was one of the most dominate champions at welterweight for a long time. He also put a pretty heavy beating on Royce
toshii - Pains me to say it, because Hughes is a cocky bastard who kills cute animals.Fortunately, Renzo is not a cute animal.
Renzo will take the fight to him. I think Renzo has a slight edge in striking, will dominate submissions, and cannot stop the td, but can get a sub in that scramble.
I don't see Renzo defending the takedown or getting the KO. I see Hughes dropping the blanket over him and getting a 3 round unan via some gnp.
He may have a standing advantage, but it is slight. Renzo has more subs, but Hughes is no spring chicken on the ground. I think it cancels out and boils down to control. Hughes will control the pace of the match and the positions. I don't see him getting armbarred any time soon (unless the opponent is changed to Dennis Hallman). I just see all the cards on one end of the table. I love Renzo, but I just don't see it.
Renzo is going to get destroyed. Sad.
