Serra didn't want any part of Hughes, and the way GSP manhandled Hughes sent a message. I’ll bet my lunch money that Serra doesn’t re-match with GSP.

"Hulk tired... Hulk clinch" Palelei was terrible, he looked like he left his consciousness in Australia.

“Hulk tired… Hulk clinch”

Soa Palelei is an extremely massive guy at 6' 4”. The guy drags his knuckles when he walks and his legs are like tree trunks; very few people could have pushed him around. Sanchez fought well enough, I thought. Here's something to consider... why not put proven UFC fighters on the televised card instead of broadcasting speculative debuts on PPV events? Save the Sokoudjou's and Palelei's for the Fight Nights (or even PPV undercards). I'm not trying to take anything away from Machida and Sanchez, by the way. I just want to see good fights, I could care less about watching someone's debut into the UFC... the exception tonight being Wanderlei's debut/return to the Octagon. Unless the fighter is extremely decorated in other MMA organizations (for example, Dan Henderson), have them prove themselves before being televised on a PPV.

Wasn't a bad couple of takedowns either. They need to give Wanderlei a warm up fight next... Rashad Evans maybe? But then theres risk of LnP. St Pierre made Hughes his bitch. 'Nuff Said. Machida is a beast... Chuck vs Machida on the Rampage Griffin card. Guillard had his traditional showing... He talked a big game, couldn't back it up and then was classless in defeat. AND FINALLY... Soa Palalei was completely useless and Eddie Sanchez should not set foot on a main card again unless it features his head connected to the fist of Andre Arlovski repeatedly. Damn Chuck looked good.

GSP has amazing skill. He will avenge his loss to Serra and be the real deal at WW again. Wang,
