The Rumor mill has been working overtime but nothing had been signed sealed and delivered until today and it is official. Georges St Pierre will face off against one of the greatest pound for pound MMA fighters in the UFC in Matt Hughes. St Pierre was excited when he told "The Sushiboy" that he is "Training very hard" and looking for a good fight. His Manager Stephane Patry also echoed his sentiments and confidence going as far as to say that "St Pierre will make Hughes look bad". Mr. Patry had nothing but praise for the former welterweight champion Matt Hughes and went on to say "I love Matt Hughes, he comes to my shows, and he is a great fighter but in MMA styles make matches. Georges St Pierre is a bad match up for him."

I know this has been argued before, but St. Pierre simply does not deserve a shot at Hughes. He should be fighting Trigg instead, and Diaz should be fighting Hughes instead of Parisyan. Parisyan is catching a huge break here to stay in the title picture.
My guess is that Hughes won't got toe to toe with St. Pierre, and he'll try to take him down. I think he can and will be able to control St. Pierre on the ground.
Hughes by decision.

I agree with My boy MMAfanman, but I sure hope we both are wrong about this one. St. Pierre is one exciting canuck.

St.Peirre, i don't think he has been in with a wrestler like Hughes?
But 1st chance St.Peirre gets standing up, he'll be looking to take Matt's jaw from his face.
But Matt will always react to takedown, even if he really wanted to stand up, he'll always go back to his bread and butter. Hughes by GnP to a judges decion.
Parisyan should fight against Lawler to see who deserves to stay.
Triggs/St.Peirre Hughes/Diaz tourny should happen to decide who should be WW champ.
How about Pete Spratt and Jeremy Jackson?

Lawler's moving up to 185. Spratt and Jackson would be an awesome stand-up war.

Triggs/St.Peirre Hughes/Diaz is a good idea. I'd love to see Trigg vs. Hughes 2.

That'd be a great fight but Jeremy is currently focusing on boxing, he won his pro boxing debut a month or so ago.......
