hughes is definetly shitting his pants. its his toughest fight yet hes just covering his fear so he doesnt look like a pussy but as soon as that bell rings hes gonna shit his pants even more
I wouldn't use that match to say that wrestlers are the most efficient fighters (im a wrestler myself).. gracie was way past his prime and mightve been fighting for the money, so we cant really use that match to judge on which fighting style is the best. i have to give gracie props for fighting that arm bar without even giving up, and he even got out of it! Huges is a beast though, it was amazing how he just crushed gracie
Well I mean if you look at all the top fighters in the UFC, most of them come from a wrestling background. Hughes, Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Rich Franklin, Randy Coutoure, etc. Grapplers tend to get the better of punchers. Have you watched the show "The Ultimate Fighter"? Most of the guys who do well on the show, are former wrestlers. Such examples are Josh Koscheck, Diego Sanchez and now there is this guy on the current show, I forgot his name but he is an olympian I believe. He is deaf and just learning MMA, but he is fuckin people up because he has such incredible wrestling skills.
yeah, i wrestled at the same college as matt hamill... this kid is amazing, he never lost a match in 3 years at my school, 89-0 with 3 national titles. he hasnt made it to the olympics yet, but he is training for it as of now
