| Hughes will get his revenge
Matt took him lightly last time. Not gonna happen again! Hughes will ground out a decision versus B.J in the rematch.

Although Penn is a very talented fighter, I just don't see Hughes losing the belt any time soon. He is the welterweight force and he will defeat Penn.

I think the biggest thing is Hughes won't be taken down like he was in the first match up. Both are extremely dangerous on the ground but I believe Matt will be able to gain dominant position and either pound out a win or secure a submission. Should be a great match either way tho and am happy to see this fight go down. Plus this could set up a Diego v GSP #1 contender match. Wear it

its gonna be tough for Hughes, Penn has good JJ so even if Matt takes him down Penn will know what to do, Hughes has no chance of beating him standing up and we know that Penn will beat him if Matt is on his back.. the match-up is really in huge favor to Penn and Penn is a very dangerous fighter if he comes in shape and focus.. so im still going with Penn in this fight.

Hughes is easily one of the best p4p in the world right now and at the top of his game, I can't see any reason why BJ would beat him now, but anything is possible.

Hi guys I think we are gonna be spoilt for choice this weekend with all the boxing tomorrow and UFC 62 on saturday. I think im gonna put a couple bets. Im goin for Sergio Mora in the IBA CONTINENTAL MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE. He has really good odds at beteagle.com. Koba Gogoladze and Carlos Maussa are also favorites. On the UFC 62 my money is on Liddle and N Diaz... what u guys think?? im hopping to make some cash... LOL
Anyway.... advice will be appreciated!!!

That's exactly the way it is. It looks like a win win for Penn.

If hughes goes into this fight with a calm mindset, it is a pick 'em matchup imo...
If he goes in there fired up seeking revenge, he will get sub'd.
git.
