i think hughes is much too strong for sanchez and ground and pound him till he gets a tko

@skeet2b Yeah, I think the same thing. I think it will pretty much just be Hughes dominating the whole fight

I agree with the previous two but I think that I may be a bit biased towards Hughes

Yeah, I'm biased too, but discounting the loss to BJ, Hughes has still looked good, Sanchez seems to be slipping fast (yeah I know he's on a two fight win streak, but that nonsense w/ Kampmann was pitiful)

I think in their primes Matt Hughes wins this fight easily, but right now think Diego will be to much for Matt

I'm going to take Hughes in a UD. Hughes isn't going to stand there and let Diego just throw down at him like Kampman did, Hughes will take him down and ride out a UD imo.

I gotta take sanchez aswell guys, he will just push the pace and bring the fight to hughes, decison victory. Both guys will take this fight very seriously. i dont see much left in matts career if he loses tough

I'm leaning towards Hughes.  Diego just doesn't do it for me.. idk why.  He relies on his grappling and I just am not sure if Hughes is going to get taken down.

Sanchez is a machine and never stops. I respect Sanchez but Matt has a lot of heart still. You could see it on his face after his loss to BJ. Diego won't be able to do anything in the stand up unless Matt challenges himself there like he has in the past and paid for it.
Let's hope Matt/BJ train together. They are both going to be fired up and it's going to be a war and I honestly don't think this will go to decision. Someone will break eventually during the fight. They both try their best to finish fights and they usually do when mistakes happen. There will be mistakes happening on this fight or they'll both see opportunities and go for it.
This will be a lot of transitioning and showing a lot of control on the ground. Diego will try to do a flying knee or trying different things in the stand up but I think Matt will try for the take down when Diego is rushing to do something. 
It could go to decision and look like it on paper but I think Diego wants to make a statement with Hughes(Legend) and Matt wants to go out with a W near the end of his career.
Can't wait! War Hughes!

Both guys really need/want/hope for a big win. Sanchez needs to beat a legend and another top contender to be considered for a title shot, Hughes because he wants to go out on a high, but the short story is that both guys always give everything in the cage, just think of the wars theyve been in. This will be no different, i can see both guys in the middle of the mat at the end of the third round in a bloddy embrace with Joe and Goldie Orgasming shouting out fight of the year

I see Sanchez taking an extremely close decision. He definitely wont make Hughes look bad, but he does have the skill set to beat him.
