Matt Hughes is strong I admit but B.J. Penn does have incentive for the belt b/c he lost the belt due to a contract dispute.
My prediction is probably no

I love BJ Penn. But I think Matt Hughes is just too strong for BJ Penn. BJ needs to get in a major training and conditioning zone for this one. And I am not sure he has the time.
I am hoping for a huge woopin' on Matt Hughes at some point, but I don't see BJ doing it at this time. I think maybe in 1-2 years, it may be more likely.

I think Matt will avenge his loss to B.J. I think this is the fight Matt wanted anyway. I hope matt beats the crap out of B.J. and shows everyone it was a fluke the first time. I think Matt took B.J. lightly the first time and underestimated him. I realy sucks that GSP got injured and as much as l like Matt I really wanted to see GSP fight for the title and win. He has been waiting for this title shot for soo long. It is really disappointing but we are going to see a great fight either way.

Hughes will dominate. Hughes is different, better fighter now. I'm really bummed about GSP's injury. That would have been a better fight. Penn's better off with his plan to drop down to the re-formed lightweight division. Hughes is the best in the world right now.

Hughes, just to dominant. Matt's skill just keeps growing and growing. He can fight anyone in the welterwieght division, no matter what organization, and will have a great chance of winning no matter who he fights.
Penn, looks to me by his Fight with St. Pierre that he hasn't really been training every day, where as Hughes pretty much does.
I say Hughes by TKO or submission in the first or second round.

Matt Hughes is a stud - literally. I think that the next true challenger is going to be George St. Pierre. I see Matt holding his title for a long time to come.

Without a doubt, unless the fight doesn't happen due to Penn not being able to pass the drug test, in which case Hughes will defeat whoever his opponent is.
