Yeah, I wanted to pick GSP too because I think he'll beat Hughes in the rematch, but he hasn't yet so I voted for Hughes. I have Liddell #1 at 205 right now, but still think Silva, Arona, Lil Nog, Shogun, Babalu, etc. and so on could give him trouble. I'm not saying if he fought all those guys I'd bet against him in every case, because I wouldn't, even in most cases I wouldn't. But he's not the CLEAR CUT best in his division yet, and until he is I can't pick him over Hughes, who clearly is - until the GSP rematch, the best at 170. Franklin might be a clear cut best at 185, but still if he fought Henderson, I'd pick Henderson by TKO or decision so (in my opinion) he too isn't clearly the best in his division either.
