Nickdanutz,

re: Hughes

I'm not even a big Matt Hughes fan, but you're original comment ("How many more times...") still doesn't make much sense to me. The feeling I get from you is that you don't think these two should fight?

I'd be more concerned with this fight than a fight with Serra.

re: Karo

I think Fitch is a better fighter and I'd like to see him in a title fight, but I don't understand the backlash against Karo? Throw out his razor-thin loss to Diego, and he's 8-1 in the UFC with 7 straight wins. And every fight has been against pretty legit competition.

Now, what I think would be really [censored] is to have Fitch and Karo fight for a title shot at the February Super Bowl show.

I understand why the UFC wants to see Hughes fight but I dont think he has "earned" it. I mean cmon since his loss to GSP all hes done is win 1 fight vs Lytle. I personally think that based on the performance vs Koscheck, Georges earned the first shot.

That being said I understand TUF issues as well as Hughes popularity.

Question: How do you rank the welterweight division?

I think the backlash re: Karo comes from his style. I dont hate him although hes not as "flashy" as some.

Everything aside I would have liked to see:

Karo vs Koscheck
Fitch vs Hughes
Serra vs GSP

but now everything is amuck and I dont know who fitch should fight next. I know you wan Karo but Fitch hasnt fought since sept (if I remember correctly) and Karo just fought last ppv.

If this happens what are your plans for Kos?
