I think Hughes simply wanted to leave (to beat the crowd) but I still wanted GSP's take on the comment, especially the part about the fight not being exciting.

Nothing more, nothing less...

[showdownjoe]

On his blog, Hughes posted: 'Georges didn't look as big as he has before and he seemed like he had gotten tired from the first round. Fitch had the game plan of countering Georges and you just can't do that. You can't counter a quicker fighter. To be honest, halfway in the third round I got up and walked out of the arena and went to my hotel. The fight wasn't the most exciting and I wanted to get out of there before everyone else was getting up to leave.'

Even if Matt called the fight in favor of GSP a week earlier, matt probably still wanted GSP to lose. Matt's not going to like a guy who humiliated him twice and took his belt.

And matt's remarks were pretty lame and obviously aimed at taking shots at gsp.

I don't hate hughes, i'm just calling it like I see it.

[emulator900]

Matt Hughes came to the fight probably hoping to see Georges lose. When that wasn't happening Hughes left.

I can see why Matt would dislike Georges. GSP did afterall pretty much end Matt's career.

one more thing Hughes did "love" seeing GSP get knocked out by Serra

[MarijuanaGood4U]

makes u wonder if Hughes always takes off like that because of the congestion

[MarijuanaGood4U]

and i agree totally. exactly whats on my mind

[MarijuanaGood4U]

haha well said

[MarijuanaGood4U]

im glad America embraced and saw the talent in this cat. ive been a fan since '03 '04? i always knew he'd be bigger than ever and he's gonna get even better and more popular when he beats Penn! also great for the ufc to have him

I really can't see BJ Penn beating GSP at 170. He lookes unbeatable against Fitch.

[MrAdidas1980]

BJ doesnt even know what hes got him-self into, the last 3 fights BJ fought were jokes & no where close 2 what GSP will bring/do, BJ's cardio isnt going 2 b nearly as good @ 170lbs as compared 2 his cardio @ LW. GSP will B all over BJ & the pace will B unlike

anything that BJ has seen in a fight. BJ's cardio better B good enough 2 go 7-8 5 min rounds 2 just match GSP's cardio of 5 5mins rounds, with that said BJ needs 2 win b4 the 3rd round, if the fight goes into the 3rd round BJ is done!!!!

[prezscator]

hughes called it in favor of GSP because although he isnt a very smart man, he knew gsp would steamroll fitch. where did he get the idea you ask? maybe from when gsp raped him.

[figthersdreams]

Georges didn't seem to care too much about the interview. It was funny lol
