| These 5 I am picking, because they just don't have much, if anything, left in the tank:
Mirko - He is killing his own legend, just for a paycheck.
Big Nog - Has looked good in 1 fight in 2 years, time to pack it in.
Pulver - Tired of watching him get worked over by questionable opponents.
Trigg - Hasn't looked good in a while.
Hughes - Looks in great shape, but is not the fighter he once was. |

Mirko - He is killing his own legend, just for a paycheck. - sad but true.
Big Nog - Has looked good in 1 fight in 2 years, time to pack it in. - Just because he can finally be stopped like everyone else is no reason to retire.
Pulver - Tired of watching him get worked over by questionable opponents. - true
Trigg - Hasn't looked good in a while. - looked great at MW. Should have stayed there.
Hughes - Looks in great shape, but is not the fighter he once was. - please. He just beat Serra and could still trash half the top ten. |

| Matt Hughes would get beat by everyone in the top 10 and a few in the top 15 _________________  "Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, a vision." Muhammad Ali |

Naw, I'm with Wolf on this one. Hughes could still handle plenty of those guys._________________  | Quote: | | "I'd really have to talk to the guys to see if that's really what they're doing. I see it like guys are trying a lot more to just get their win so they can get their next fight. When we were doing it, it was a lot more about just going out and fighting. I hate hearing in a UFC corner ‘you won the first four rounds, just stay away from him this round.' The guy doesn't have a knockout punch, hasn't taken you down the whole fight, why do you have to go be afraid of him? Go out and win! Make it exciting, go knock him out, finish the fight."-Iceman |

| i disagree. I think Serra takes him in a rematch as well, i really hope we get to see the rematch cause Hughes has no business fighting guys like alves and GSP obviously. Fitch would maul him, even the overrated british strikers would probably hurt him before he got a chance to lay n pray. He cant strike with anyone in the top 10 and guys like Paulo Thiago would submit him if he tries to lay on them. _________________ "Champions aren't made in the gyms.

| Hughes has one of the best wrestling/BJJ hybrid games in MMA. Like an old Jake Sheilds. He would beat any of the jokers from AKA. |

| Who has Hughes lost to? The #1 WW in the world and then the #2/3. Hughes still has plently of gas in the tank. His style isn't going to dominate like it used to, but he's got enough to beat a lot of top guys. After he dismantles Henzo, he'll get a big name and prove it. |

| I agree with Farmer, Sooner, and Wolf.
Hughes is still probably the #6 or 7 WW in the world and would beat alotta the top 10 and 15 guys.
my 5 that need to retire:
- Mark Coleman
- Randy Couture
- Chuck Liddell after his next fight
- Stephan Bonnar
- Jens Pulver

Really? I looked the other day and he was still on the UFC active roster. Weird.
Ok well take him off and add Stephan Bonnar |
