It's a joke man. I might be in the minority here but I haven't been excited about Hughes fighting anyone in a looong time. I know he’s slated to fight at 106. It’s a joke man.

They are calling the the Swick-Hardy match at 105 a title-eliminator. The winner is likely to face GSP at UFC 109.

He shrugged off a potential match with Kos, which would be his highest profile fight at WW, and there is no way he is fighting GSP again any time soon. To me that leaves two things I think could happen, a fight with Dennis Hallman just to avenge the losses from earlier in his career, or a 3rd fight with BJ Penn early next year when BJ gets the itch to jump around again. Just a thought, not that I'm supporting it. There are not a ton of options out there right now that are not committed to fights already, but I guess UFC could do some shuffling as alot of guys would already be training for upcoming fights. Paul Daley, Carlos Condit, and Mike Pierce would be the best bets for me. I have this real funny feeling about Hughes.

It would be a great chance for him to step up the competition and I think he would offer a much tougher fight for Fitch than Hughes at this point in his career. Hughes is a great replacement fighter but in reality he has no chance of beating Fitch. Condit is probably as tough as Fitch as he proved in his last fight, and has very good submissions along with great kicks. I hope Condit gets it. Hopefully Carlos Condit will be asked to fight here.

Is he hurt because I havent heard anything about his next fight. I know he wants Spider, but I really don't see that happening. What about a catch weight with a smaller 185er kind of like Silva has done twice. This reminds me, where is St Pierre at? Is he hurt because I havent heard anything about his next fight.
