I know it is a touchy one with C around... :)

I don't know what to think.
The fight was just too fast to draw any conclusions.

It is my opinion that Hughes should have retired when he lost to Thiago Alves. But then again, he revived his career against Serra, Renzo & Big Dog, but now I hope he sees the light and does not become a simple gatekeeper.

As for BJ, what's next? He can't keep up with Frankie. And with the new arrivals at LW (from WEC), will he stay on WW?
Do you REALLY think he'll have a chance at GSP again? I don't think so...
I Think the best & most exciting is him finding his spot again in LW and beat people up until he gets a title shot once more (which I think will be against someone other than Frankie at the time), so his legacy will be cemented even better than now. but I don't see him keeping up and motivated to do that.

What are your thoughts?

Hughes is not a title contender anymore. I still like to watch him fight. Hope he fights Dennis Hallman next and avenges his two losses to Dennis.I still think BJ will get another title shot in either division. If he beats Fitch he is right there in contention at WW. Also, if Maynard beats Edgar BJ can get another shot for the LW belt. BJ still obviously has the talent and is only what, 31 or 32.

I agree, if Penn beats Fitch he should get another crack at the WW title. I think Maynard is going to beat Edgar which might open up the door for Penn to go after Maynard.
