|  Matt Hughes vs. Anderson Silva
I know Hughes said he wanted to fight Anderson Silva and after watching Silva fight Lutter, I really want to see this fight. I mean if a sucked out Lutter can take Silva down and get a mount, imagine what a beefed up Hughes could do. But Silva is also a better striker then GSP and we saw what happened to Hughes in that fight. It would be a very good match-up. But I think Hughes would take this. Like I said if Lutter could get the mount on Silva, so can Hughes. And I dont think Silva could sweep arguably the best GnPer in MMA. So I think Hughes would take this in the 2nd via TKO strikes from the mount.

I mean it probably hurt his Takedown defense but you also have to take into account that Lutter was extremely sucked out and he was still able to take Silva down.

wow, i didnt know that silva had knee surgery before the fight. that may explain why he didnt seem as mobile to me or as fast. he seemed a lot better at avoiding takedowns by using angles and speed when going against jeremy horn and against newton. however, i do believe that he has the most under rated ground fighting ability. he may have lost by submission in his career but hes only lost twice out of many fights. he deserves more respect

You people kill me with trying to discredit fighters. Silva just has a lot of heart, plain and simple, but he said the Triangle wasn't that tight or Lutter would not have still been moving.
How many fighters have you seen survive a tigh Triangle?? Start thinking before posting.

Silva by KO. Hughes would have a big wrestling advantage, but Silva is a BJJ blackbelt, so I doubt Hughes would submit him.
Hughes would be going for the takedown, and Anderson would eitherr hit him with a knee, or slip and move and punish him standing eventually leading to a KO. Anderson is way to dangerous a striker for Hughes.

Carlos Newton got the best one out of everyone on Hughes and look where it got him. Silva will have to KO Hughes to win. On the ground Hughes will wipe him up. As far as GSP outstriking Hughes, that was only possible because GSP is a phenominal wrestler as well and he was able to stuff the takedown. Knee surgery or not this is a bad match up ofr Silva. If Hughes can deal with Penn's BJJ skills he can surely deal with Silva's.
