Also, this puts even more Credibility to the rumor that Mir and Nog are the TUF 8 Coaches.

Respect to Hughes for taking a very tough fight after a bad loss.

Thiago better work on his TDD.

Mir vs Nog as coaches is the dumbest idea in history. The UFC HW division will be obsolete for almost a year. GREAT JOB guys!! Mir vs Nog, what a dream match up!!! Oh and their personalities on the show, WOW, what tv!!!!

I really think this is an easy fight for Hughes. Nice fix though!

I like Hughes in this fight, if he sticks to what he does best, wrestling, gnp, or pulling off a sub. The only problem with that is Hughes has fallen in love with striking & I don't think he'll fair to well trying to outstrike Alves if that is what ends up happening.

Alves was a no name a year ago and he beats Karo and all of a sudden people are saying he can beat Matt Hughes. Come on, give me a break. Just because GSP made Hughes look old doesn't mean he's the punk everyone is making him out to be.

I agree, Alves record at 7-2 looks good on paper until you look at who he beat. With the exception of Chris Lytle, no one else stands out. Who cares about Karo, we all know he's overrated to begin with. His only real tests were Fitch and Spencer Fisher and he lost BOTH of those. This one will be over early, Hughes by submission 2 minutes 27 seconds, round 1. Serra, be prepared, in Decemeber, you get your last taste of the the spotlight because you're next.

Now if they add Leben-Bisping as a co-main event, this thing will be worth buying. Don't be surprised if they add that too. Bisping said the other day in an interview that he wants to fight again soon and you know if they can put togeter a fight for him in England, he'd fight on NO NOTICE.

Great news... now does this put 85 back on PPV or is Spike still going to deliver? Either way, I love Hughes but I don't see that hunger in him that he once possessed. Should be stellar, Hughes by GnP rd 1

I imagine Hughes will avoid standing up and win this fight on the ground. I hope for the opposite - I hope Alves catches him and puts Hughes to sleep.
