First, I am Canadian so I was insulted by Matt Hughes' arrogant comments pertaining to my country and its citizens, I lost a lot of respect for Hughes. I also found it to be hypocritical when Hughes made the inference that GSP was the one without class when he made his comments after the Penn/Hughes fight. I was impressed by GSPs grace in the aftermath - a trait typical to most Canadian athletes.
During the fight itself, I had goose bumps the whole time. When GSP started owning Hughes right from the opening bell, my adrenaline was pumping at full force. When Hughes faked the low blows, I started screaming at my TV because I was insensed at the prospect of Hughes faking his way to a NC and retaining his belt. When GSP dropped Hughes with the Superman punch and pounced on him I was going crazy, but when the round ended I was shitting bricks, because Hughes was going to have the opportunity to pull of yet another unlikely come back a la vs. Trigg and Penn. When the second round began, I was hoping that this did not happen. GSP came out and continued to dominate. When GSP kicked Country Breakfast in the head and then pounced on him again I jumped out of my seat. Then Big John waved it off and GSP pulled it off. His reaction was priceless, too. It was so nice to see how much winning the title meant to GSP and in the aftermath, the Montreal announcement was icing on the cake. It was also nice to see "The Crow" in tears after his boy pulled off what he coulld not.
And that is my memorable MMA moment of the year. | I can agree with some of your points but not all of them. In order to refrain from anger as you have insulted my favorite fighter I will just point out one thing. IMO the reason that Hughes gave such a reaction to the kick to his groin was because of the Hughes vs Trigg II. He got hit in the groin and could have lost the match and the thing was that the ref who's standing about three feet away didn't even see it. He just wanted Big John to know that he got hit there. And if you watched Big John didn't seem to notice he got hit until Matt gave a reaction. Of course Matt could have been faking it but who knows. Also Matt needs to slap himself for insulting Canadians the way he did I cannot praise his remarks but I'm sure he'll regret them if he goes to Canada.

He chalked it up to tacitcs.

I'm not going to make excuses for Matt though.
