    and they confirmed that the fight would be for an Interim title and would be announced as the real title if Serra wouldn't be able to fight in a year period?

    Ummm, Penn was WELL under the weight limit and in very good shape. hughes beat Penn because of persistence and heart. Pierre is likely training anyways. If not he wouldn't take the fight. It's not like Pierre is some small WW who makes weight easily. Pierre will fuck Hughes up anyways.

    How do you know he wasn't? He came in 5 pounds light and looked great at the weigh in. He also said he had a great training camp

    He's never had great stamina. If he was injured during the fight as he claims that don't exactly help either. he came into the fight in good shape though.

    In fairness to Hughes, he already beat GSP once fair and square. I bet Hughes doesn't try to stand much with GSP this time though. If Hughes takes him down it's bad news for GSP.

    He tried to take Pierre down the 2nd fight and couldn't do it. I do agree if hughes get's Pierre down and is on top that is no good for Pierre but I don't see it happening.

    Hughes is going to train hard for this. He will come in with a strict gameplan to keep the fight on the ground. Pierre's will be to keep the fight standing. I think Hughes wins this. Something tells me it will be a stinker, mainly because Hughes will be sooooo cautious.

    Kamala is too big, but I definitely think GSP could take Koko B. Ware:popcorn:

    He spend most of the first round alternating bewteen beating the shit out of Hughes on his feet and applying submissions which are known to be very energy consuming. He does have a bit of a short tank but in that fight he didn't really leave much wiggle room... guess he didn't count on the immense determination of Hughes...

    Only one man can beat Kamala, and that's a prime Kamala. It would be close though.
